Living the American Dream

Celebrity Watching

One of the nice things about living in America is that it gets me nearer to my heroes. Having already seen Henry Winkler and The Beach Boys, yesterday found us in the presence of M.A.S.H. actor Alan Alda at a talk and book signing organised by the local independent bookstore Anderson's.
He was fascinating, but it is not the place of this blog to present usual news stories that you could read about anywhere. So to me, one of the more memorable moments happened before we even entered the venue, the wonderful Art Deco Tivoli Theatre in Downer's Grove.
A group of young girls looked up at the sign about the entrance which proudly announced that Anderson's welcomed Alan Alda.
"Ohh look," one of them called out. "All those people are queueing up to see Aladdin."

These days he looks more like Professor Alda...

..but he is still a great act


And as how most of us best remember him
