It was how she talked and held her head high, Simmons wrote.
I saw her in a lot of movies but my favorites areAfrican QueenandGuess Who is Coming to Dinner.
“I got out to see what happened.
Ms Hepburn got out of her car and said.
I will pay for the damage to your car.
But Simmons didnt mind the late actress crashing into his life.
Instead, he added, I told her not to worry about it and drove off.
He also recalled his experience dabbing the sweat from the late Charlton Hestons face at a dinner event.
I was on the float behind him, he wrote.
After the parade, all the floats rode into the convention center.
They were serving a dinner on round tables with white tablecloths.
Simmons explained that he and Heston were seated next to each other for the meal.
It was very hot in the center and Charlton was sweating so much, he added.
I took my napkin and wiped the sweat on his brow and face.
Then, there was Lana Turner.
My favorite movies of hers wereThe Postman Always Rings TwiceandImitation of Life, he noted.
She was wearing a lilac silk blouse with black pants and a Gucci belt I have some memory huh?
You are a nice gentleman.
