I’ve encountered a few celebrities in my time, Patti LuPone, Bruce Willis, CV Whitney, Julia Child, Christopher Buckley, James Beard, Craig Claborne, Prince Philip and so forth. Most were fine, but some were self-important to the point of rudeness. Since these meetings were connected to my work, I merely got on with it. I never met John Huston, the iconic actor, screenwriter and movie director, but I wish I had - and the reason is the wonderful story that follows.
