My little brush with fame came in 1981. I can’t remember how the invite came about but my sister-in-law, Toni, and I attended a Torchbearers for Legacy fundraiser. Our favourite actor, Brian Brown, was special guest. The afternoon function was held at the home of a local solicitor, Mr John Marsden. By coincidence John’s parents had once owned Lacks Hotel on the corner of Queen St and Railway St, Campbelltown when I was a kid and my mum and dad worked there on Sunday’s. Also, the lady who had arranged for Bryan Brown’s attendance was a friend of his mother’s and the mother of an old primary school friend of mine.
He was very charming and friendly and took time to talk to all the ladies present. A friend from work who was very jealous I was going told me to give him a kiss from her.
I boldly walked up to him and said, “A friend asked me to give you a kiss from her.” He graciously accepted the kiss on his cheek then replied, “Give her one back from me.” And that wasn’t on my cheek! She didn’t get it, I kept it all to myself.
To top it off he kissed all the ladies when he left. Toni and I went home to spend the rest of the day watching Bryan Brown videos.
