The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams was ‘must see’ TV for my
sister and me. So how could I pass up on
Dan Haggerty?
You can’t see it very well but beside a great looking signature,
Dan included a bear paw print between his name and the character name. I didn’t
realize what he was doing at the time. Once the paint dried I could see it. A
nice touch.
This one of those times you see the crap that celebrities go
through. In front of me was an older
lady. She looked older than me but I think she was much younger. It looked like she had a hard life and she also
had that smoker’s voice and laugh. White trash comes to mind based on her
behavior.
She asked for an autograph. In the middle of the process her kids came by.
The group got distracted and then asked
Dan where another actor sat. I thought this
slightly tacky. Dan pointed and smiled as he told them where they can find the
other celebrity. The daughter then asked
mom why she was here. The tone openly implied this line was a waste of time and
money.
They were about to leave and Dan reminded them to pick up
the autograph. Mom was 3 or 4 steps away
from the table when she turned around and asked for a photo. The daughter gave a
sigh of frustration. A camera was fished
out of a back pocket. Dan invited the
lady around the table to sit next him. The
daughter directed mom to lean in closer. Mom replied that she knew what to do
with a man. Then she added that this was
a man she wanted to do it with.
During the whole thing Dan was pleasant. I know I would have shown my
frustration. Maybe it was just acting on
his part. Maybe he was used to the behavior. Either way, I thought he was
classy.
