and making a surprise, low key apperance Robert Blake.

EMCEE:
Leonard Maltin

This event was awesome! To see all these legendary cowboys stars from the classic era of the westerns was a treat!
And though Blake was a surprise I did happen to have an item for him to sign. I originally brought my Little Rascal book for author/tv personality Leonard Maltin to sign but it was lucky that I had it for Robert Blake to also sign it. He was know as Mickey Gubitosi in his Rascal ( Our Gang ) day's. As an extra bonus, since the event was held on the CBS Studio lot I also took my own "private" tour of the studio. So far the day was working out good.
That night I also attended the opening night of Phantom of the Opera over at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.
Guest list for the opening were:
Alley Mills, Anne Jeffrey's, Brando Eaton, Donna Mills, John McCook, John Sussman, Kat Linder, Greg Louganis, Marselia Lusha, Priscilla Presley, Rex Lee, Roma Dames, Earl Holliman, Rosanna Pansino, Dick Gautier, and Iqbal Theba from Glee.
It was another full day but I got quite a lot of signatures.

You better hurry! When I saw Joan she was very feeble, had a hard time hearing, and could barely sign for me.

Oh really:( Man I wish I had known that!!! Did she sign with a sharpie? I know she signs with a pen which I think is fine!

Earl Holliman! The star of the first Twilight Zone episode, himself.

How did he look? I have an 8x10 all ready to mail to him.
