THE SCREENING ROOM
By William Kallay
The Hollywood Show is annual convention for
movie fans to meet some of their favorite stars. Fans can also
purchase film merchandise. The show is held in Burbank, Chicago and
Las Vegas. The Burbank show took place February 10-12, 2012, at the
Marriot Burbank Airport Hotel and Convention Center.
Stars such as Billy Dee Williams, Mark Ryan, Don Stark, Nalini
Krishan, Richard LeParmentier, Jeremy Bulloch, Martin Landau, Paul
Michael Glaser, David Soul, Antonio Fargas, Shannon Elizabeth, Sybil
Danning, Davy Jones, Van Williams, Natasha Hendstridge, Helena
Mattson, Laffit
Pincay, Jr., Traci Lords, Ron Jeremy, Piper Laurie, Edie McClurg,
Nancy Allen, and many more were on-hand to meet fans.
Yours truly was there to sign copies of his book, "The Making of
Tron." Joining me was my daughter, Alexandria. Readers might be
familiar with Alexandria since she has been my "cub reporter" on the
site since the beginning. She was thrilled to meet many stars. She
helped me promote my book and she also took a number of the pictures
you see here.
I have to say that it was a thrill selling the book and signing
autographs. People were extremely nice and complimented the work
done on the book. It's fun being on the other side of the autograph
table.
It isn't every day that I get to mingle among actors who I have
admired for years. Signing autographs from across from me were Billy
Dee Williams, Richard LeParmentier, Don Stark, and Nalini Krishan.
Not too far way was Jeremy Bulloch. Even though I'm a grown up, it
is still truly wonderful to meet them. I guess one never outgrows
being star struck. Special thanks goes to Derek Maki who represents
us through Coolwaters Productions.
