I picked up Mark Steger autograph on Sunday. I had passed his table a few times. While his line wasn’t long, there seemed to be people in it most of the time.
When I walked up, we exchanged helloes. I found the photo I wanted signed quickly but I got side tracked by another.
It was a photo from I am Legend with Will Smith. I really liked that movie. Mark played a ‘vampire’ on the operating table. When I pointed out the photo, he asked if I knew anything about the movie. Not sure where he was going, I let him talk. He said the movie was made once before and called Omega Man with Charleston Heston.
I told him I really like that version too.
The ball was in my court and I lobbed it back to him and
said Vincent Price did a movie version too. it was called Last Man on Earth. Mark nodded that I was correct. I paused and waited to see if he had the next
link. He was quiet.So I told him the Vincent Price movie was pretty close to the book, I am Legend by Richard Matheson. Matheson also wrote the Incredible Shrinking Man and Legend of Hell House.
Then he talked me into taking a selfie with him. I think I impressed him with my I am Legend knowledge.
