Joan Fontaine was my seat mate on a flight to Iowa.

I don=E2=80=99t think she was very happy about that.

I am not sure she was very happy about anything.

I had dinner with Debbie Reynolds, once. Except she was at the next table. (=
She was doing the TV remake of Unsinkable Molly Brown). She was very approac=
hable. One of my friends invited her for drinks in the hotel bar. He was ver=
y pleased.
