When I was in High School, I was dating someone who was in the class ahead of
me. The HS he went to had a Senior awards dinner usually a few weeks before the
Senior Ball. The custom at that time was for the senior's and their dates to go
to San Francisco after the dinner.
Anyway, a group of us went to the then famous hotel, the Fairmont. As we
entered we noticed a good looking man who looked somewhat familiar at the front
desk. It was Alan Ladd. I know you younger ones will ask "WHO ? "
Later in the dinning room he was seated at a table near ours we decided to ask
for his autograph. He obliged and was so nice.
We learned something else that evening, that none of us knew. Alan Ladd was
quite short. Seeing him in the movies one would never have guessed that he was
probably only 5 foot 4 or 5 foot five inches tall . We learned later that it
was customary for him to either stand on a stool or wear lifts, and not be
filmed in a way where his height would be noticeable.
Fast forward to many years later I was in Acapulco with my husband (same guy I
was with in San Francisco) And we met Louie Armstrong in the lobby as we were
checking in.
