Short Encounters with Famous Folks: Brooke Shields

July 29th, 2019

I briefly met Brooke Shields in the late ’80’s, I think, at a private party. Everyone (about 10-2o people) was fawning over her…except me. I don’t fawn well. Very pretty girl. Fairly tall.

She had just come back from taping a Bob Hope Show and announced that she had been on it more times than anyone else. That’s when I piped up: “More times than Bob Hope?” Startled she looked at me, saw my friendly smile, obviously joking, and laughed, “No,” halfway rolling her eyes in mock gesture.
