Weekend Photos From Hollywood!

Here are a few photos from this weekend's Hollywood Collectors Show in Burbank. At the show you have opportunity to meet many old time stars or look around the tables filled with all kinds of movie memorabilia. Some of the people in attendance included Tony Curtis, Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher, Joan Collins, Jane Withers, Bruce Dern, Paul Reubens, and Beau Bridges.
Here I am with actress Nancy Olson, star of many classic Disney films, including "The Absent-Minded Professor", starring Fred MacMurray.
She was married to famous music composer, Alan Jay Lerner. She's currently married to former Capital Records Chairman, Alan Livingston. At 80 years old, she looks pretty amazing!
Here are a few of Nancy's film roles. Top: She starred with William Holden in the 1950 classic, "Sunset Blvd", for which she received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar Nomination. Below that is Nancy with Fred MacMurray in "The Absent-Minded Professor", 1961. The bottom two stills are from one of my favorite Disney films, "Pollyanna",1960, in which Nancy starred as a character named Nancy Furman, one of Aunt Polly's servants.
This is actress Elizabeth Daily, who starred as Dottie in, what else, "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure". Her distinctive voice has given her quite a successful voice over career. Some of her voices include Tommy Pickles in "Rugrats", Babe from "Babe: Pig in the City", and Buttercup from "The Powerpuff Girls".

Outside the show, this vehicle from " The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas" was on display.
Back at home, I'm working on a personal project that will be shot in stop-motion animation. I'm returning to my roots!
