Such brushes with fame.

Well, since you mention it...I actually ran into Richard Benjamin at Pavilion's on Santa Monica Blvd. last Friday. When I say "ran into him" I actually did slightly with my grocery cart, so I said "Sorry," realized who it was and I spoke to him briefly because he and his wife used to be customers for a few years where I worked. (Yes, they are still married.) I don't know if he actually remembered me, but he remembered the business. (At the time back then, I also saw him at a Dodger game once.)
Taken August 19th at Neile McQueen's house.
As for Joan Hackett, when I first moved to Los Angeles, the first TV taping I attended was the pilot for a show called ANOTHER DAY. It starred Joan Hackett and David Groh (Rhoda).
I just looked it up and it only ran for 4 episodes in the spring of 1978, when I did not have a TV set.
Here's a CBS promo for it, along with The Ted Knight Show where Ted runs an escort service. Huh?
