My singularly lame contribution to 'meeting famous people' thread.... since I didn't meet her, it was before I was born ...

My mom was on contract with RKO studios when Marilyn Monroe was filming "Clash by Night" in her hometown, Monterey. She brought her a Coca-Cola during a break once and they chatted a bit off and on. She says she was very sweet and friendly and a smidge shy in person. Mom didn't make it to the 'big screen', but her little sister is the kid sitting on the porch steps stroking a critter when Barbara Stanwyk walks by. (Critter looks like a cat but it's a bunny.) My uncle, their brother, is the rotten little kid rolling the cassion (big tire) that hits the male star (???) and he kicks the kid. In one of the takes something went wrong and Uncle Paul actually got kicked by accident. The star was very embarrassed and bought him a bunch of candy to make up for it. Not that you're likely to see this oldie, but if you do their part is over in like the first 5 minutes for what it's worth.
