Questions for Mr. Boy

1. If you could eat dinner with and "get to know" one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? Jerry Lewis, but I would not let him near the grown-ups' table.

2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel? When John Wayne died, I felt like I had lost a member of my family. We found Uncle Fuzzy under the casket.

3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose?
Frank Sinatra in 1960. I'd love to sing those great tunes in front of the Count Basie Orchestra. Then, I'd play Frisbee with his hairpiece, swim in chicks, and punch out some press guys.

4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who? People used to tell me I looked like Michael Landon. I was flattered, until I realized they meant his urn.

Since I've started to gray, I'm Bea Arthur.

5. Have you ever met anyone famous?
Face-to-face: Dolly Parton, Cher, Melissa Manchester, Pat Paulsen, Doc Severinsen, Paul Williams, Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Wolfman Jack, among others.

If I ever become famous, I've met me. I was seven.
