Have you had an encounter with a celebrity that didn't turn out the way you hoped?
Next year I celebrate 50 years of having my efforts published, although this column will only be 46 years old as my first article was for a magazine. When you are young and eager to see your name in print you keep every published article. In the old days I had to type my articles, was paid a few pence for each word that was printed and kept a carbon copy. Now I write this stuff for free and once I have emailed my copy to the editor I delete it, so my apologies if I often repeat myself.
I met him at Elstree Studios back in the late 1990s at a last-minute arrangement. Warner Brothers had rented him a stately home in Shenley at a cost of £15,000 a week, which the owner tells me paid for some essential roof repairs., possibly at Elstree Studios - but as a major player in those days I was against it. We needed to get the studio back on its feet and luckily Pinewood ended up with the usual Kubrick headache for those trying to run a studio.
I get rather bored with people mocking Tom about his height, considering so many leading men in the old days were not that tall. Who the hell really cares?
