I “ definitely “ met many notable men and women in and around the business. I’ll be sharing along the briny path. Thanx for read.I hope you continue to follow me.
I know what you meant ! I’ve stories in my archives. Most about many people whom I liked, loved or not in my childhood to early 20’s in and around 90210. Once jumping onto Substack months ago I’ve purposefully steered away from those stories. Not wanting to be the “spoiled kid from Bhills “ or name dropping . My 5 sisters
and I were privileged in many ways. Never overindulged. Even the wealthiest of my buddies were down to earth including those whose parents were Uber famous. I’ve led a most unique life . True to form. Jenn
Once again your writing is so fun and so interesting. Love hearing about your youth in Beverly Hills and thereabouts. After the trauma of this past week I for one needed a story like this. Thank you 😊
What a phenomenal post! You brought Henry Winkler to life in such a vivid, electric way, capturing every twist and turn of the journey to get him there and the pure magic he created in that room. Your chutzpah, determination, and savvy absolutely jump off the page, and I love how you took us along every step of the way—from your bold decision to call Winkler’s agent to that unforgettable, heartfelt moment on stage.
It’s not just a story about meeting a celebrity; it’s a testament to the power of persistence and the impact one person can have when they show up with genuine warmth and humility. You painted the excitement of the kids, the awe of the crowd, and Henry’s genuine kindness so beautifully—I felt like I was standing right there with you, feeling every shiver of anticipation and every second of triumph. The details of Henry’s speech, his candid vulnerability, and the profound way he connected with the audience make this story so inspiring. Thank you for sharing such a personal and brilliantly told adventure; it’s a reminder of how the right mix of courage and heart can bring magic to life.
Your reply is better than my post and I embrace each word. Henry is the real deal in every way. He returned for another springer fete a few years later. I had no hand in. No longer living in Cincinnati. If you have time I’d be willing to accept a G L O R I A forward to some of your amigas and maybe some gelt ? It’s Sunday. 👍
Having met him twice, business-wise back in the day, you definitely met him.
And as someone else whose parents "never did," we should start a club. I nominate you for president.
Also, you demonstrate a famous Hollywood Law. "Ask for what you want. The worst that can happen is they'll say no."

I didn't mean it that way; I meant you described him qualities-wise to the proverbial "T".
