Default O/T: Great Night Tonight

Posted By: Dan Bretta

My only brush with a celebrity (other than sports stars at shows or Tom Osborne and Bob Devaney while a student at Nebraska) would have been during the filming of "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar" which was a terrible movie, but they were filming it in my hometown. Christopher Penn was hanging out every night in the same little pub that was at one time my hangout. He sat down and bought us beers on a couple of occasions. At one point he got so intoxicated that the owner made him leave so he went out in the parking lot, threw up and came back in. He was staying at the Residence Inn right next door so some of the movie's crew members came and got him. Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes would come in to the same pub, but they just kept to their own little clique. I think the only other time I've ever seen a celebrity was when Debra Winger was dating our governor while she was filming "Terms of Endearment".
