Have you ever collected anything? Have you ever been a fan
of anything or anyone? If so, how serious were you about
it, how far would you go to obtain a collectible and what would
be your most treasured "gets?"

Background:

After our cold open on Charly Charlie, Scott sits down for a
discussion with Astonishing Legends' own intrepid reporter in the
field, "Master" Marc D'Andre (you'll find out who called him
"Master" later in the episode) to find out about two of his
passions: movies and the occasional autograph, letter or
interaction from some of his favorite actors and
personalities. Some of Marc's memorable encounters include:
the great Robert DeNiro; a phone call from 80s & 90s
heartthrob Kelly LeBrock (The Woman in Red, Weird Science); from
Star Wars - Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing & Anthony Daniels,
and a heartfelt and inspiring correspondence with character
actor, Steve James (To Live and Die in L.A., the American Ninja
series).

Tonight's Quote:

"I hope this doesn't sound pompous, but I don't think of myself
as famous. Whatever fame I've got has come through what
I've done and associations of things I've done."

Peter Cushing

Final Observations:

Fame and celebrity in our culture are curious things. On
the one hand being famous can make an actor seem quite familiar
to the average citizen, while at the same making a personal
interaction with them a rare and exclusive occurrence for us mere
mortals, especially in the days before the internet.
However, much like the world of the paranormal, if you cast an
inquiry out into the void, you just might get a response, whether
it's Kelly LeBrock or Charlie Charlie.
