Yeah, I met him when I was 19 and lived in Vail, CO. He said to look him up, but that I would have to loose 15 pounds. My family thought there would be nothing left of me. So that's my story :cry:

That's hard though...........that's like saying your're not quite good enough..............that could damage someone for life......People need to think about the effects a seemingly innocous remark like that can make...

Umm, well I was only 19. The timing was all wrong, how many women can make it in Hollywood at 19 ? He was with his personal assistant, and she told me that he said that to her all the time too. I had never heard of him, I wasn't much of a movie buff. This young guy was freaking out about meeting him though, and wouldn't stop talking about it for hours after that. He wanted to meet up with me the next day to talk about it more, but honestly I wasn't that interested...but I took his contact information. He was quite a bit older, and I was quite frankly scared. You know what they say about how a lot of women get into Hollywood, not to say that it is always true. I'm sure he's used his power to his advantage though a few times.

But I never forgot the experience. I think he thought I was a few years older, because I used to sneak into parties and stuff in Vail.
My parents thought it was BS to say that, what he said. It IS damaging, and I think a lot of women could probably identify with that. My dad isn't an LA type person, he lives in northern Idaho, almost to Canada. They thought that all that Hollywood stuff was fake. That was when you had to be super skinny to get certain roles. I wish I had met him at about age 22 though!

i know what you mean............i was approached at 17 about modelling but because i'm only 5ft 5" it was never going to be catwalk stuff..lol :wink:

It was clear they had other things in mind........lol......and whilst they were legit enough, my family would have had a fit.........but it's funny how things become more acceptable..........kids actually want to be playboy bunnies now............there was a time when they were ridiculed.........but in retrospect if i knew then what i know now i'd have given it 6 months..................

Yeah, you used to have to be really tall, but that has completely changed!

Thank you for answering me Fluffy, I was hoping you guys didn't think I was showing off, again! :lol:

My sister used to get approached alot in San Francisco about modeling, and one time a hairdresser actually drove me over to meet her modeling agency friend! ( who didn't care ). Then on the way back she said she didn't think it should be that way, that only the people with money got in, because it turned out they wanted money. The truth is you have to work hard, and have the look they are looking for! That SUPER model look! You can't have any flaws.

But Frances dude gave me a really big compliment, the first thing he said to me was, " I noticed you immediately when I walked in the room, you really have something! " I took it as something more than just outer appearance...
The whole thing was something about a 'free screen test'. Has anyone else out there lost out on an opportunity and wish they hadn't? Maybe that would make a good topic...

but you still have something to tell the grandkids........be proud of that....... :wink:

It took me a long time to find out just what I wanted in a 'boyfriend'; I was always drawn to the 'wrong' type of guy. And the really wonderful men, whom I adored but I couldn't not imagine dating them I would run from. I felt so horrible when I wasn't physically attracted to them, and I didn't want to be a tease. The guilt from rejecting offers for dinner from kind and 'nice' men was excrutiating. I had to figure out what the hell is wrong with me? Can you imagine, running from really nice men.... :roll:

right into some jerks arms. I kept having my heart broken and I did it to myself. After many months I gained a bunch of weight, read a bunch of self help books; and realized I was terriefied of being happy! :shock:

Now I know to run to nice ones, and I can spot the snake oils salesmen. It took me 20 years, but hey.... Patience is a virtue. Now, I'm just a little pudgier than I thought. But I don't have anyone pawing me either.

My perfect date would be that Jim would come over to my house and we would talk for a while, and then we go out to see a movie(Fun With Dick and Jane) and then go out to eat. Now this next part may sound stupid, we start hanging out everyday and eventually fall in love and get married!

Missed opportunities. But I have a strong belief in destiny, so I can't really say I have regrets.

John Holliman, the CNN reporter lived in the town where my college was. He came and addressed an assembly (Eleanor Clift came once to an assembly and was a real disappointment)...but Holliman told entertaining stories about his time covering the first Gulf War and was a real gentleman about taking questions.

I asked him a couple of questions and he gave surprisingly honest answers.

And he was stationed in Washington wwith CNN, so he talked about what it's like to interview the president and he said his interns, a lot of the time had asked the questions that CNN used the response footage from.

After it was over, he came up to me and said, "Are you interested in being my intern?"

I felt I lived too far away from DC to do it right, so I declined.

I should have done that.
