The festival had an incredible photo gallery set up. I absolutely love doing my one-second impression of Jerry Lewis, “Hello, lady!” One of the first things I ever did in front of a camera was one of Jerry’s famous Labor Day telethons for Muscular Dystrophy, when my parents hosted the New York portion of the show. Every time I see an image of Jerry I feel particularly close to him because I met him as a young boy and I’ve enjoyed seeing his movies since then, so here I am hamming it up in front of a photograph of a legend – what are you gonna do?
French Toast, I suppose? I think the film canisters behind the food table would have been slightly more edible than this particular fare, not because the food wasn’t good, but I got to the party a little late and I think it had "turned" by then.
Not to be daunted, I did get a little bit of food. I was absolutely starving, yet so excited to be meeting so many different people and I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to meet anyone, but I was starting to get more and more dizzy and faint. I had thrown the camera to Jennifer Candy and asked her to take a bunch of candid pictures so I could put them on my website, so she was taking them, and I thought the flower seemed to be more interesting than the food, and I knew my daughter would like it if there was a picture of me smelling a flower . . .
