NAME DROPPERS

Greetings

You know if there is one classs of people I have a hard time with it's "name droppers" Well I was thinking this morning of some of the people I have worked with as a cinematographer/videographer over the years. INDULGE ME

ARTIE JOHNSON

Artie Johnson of the television show "Laugh In"
I asked him about the "Wallnetto" candy featured on the show because it disapeared after the show went off the air and I liked them. He did to.
Artie was a very nice fellow, look for him on a park bench in a park near you.

PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

We had to get a special clearance and passes from the secret service to film President Reagan. I walked into the secret service office and told them "I was there to shoot the president" they didn't think it was funny either. TRUE

MS. HELEN REDDY

I was issued a bogus press pass by K-Tel Records to film all the talent at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand Show and everything went fine until about the 4th night when half way through Helens performance, her manager and husband approached me and asked to see my credentials. It was determined that the credentials were fake and I had to strip my camera of all it's film right there in front of the crowd and then be escorted out of the grandstand by a uniformed policeman.
