In 1978. Back then, she couldn't have been more sweet and engaging. There were a lot of people trying to get her autograph. She signed all of our autographs up front (about 15), then some guy told her she was needed for something. She said "Sorry guys, I signed as many as I could," and she did. I had a lot of start autographs from Battle of from the first few years, but lost them all when I moved in later years. Darn!!

The cycle of life is what it is, but the last year it seems like a LOT of movie stars are dying in clumps, or hell, week after week of one another. I know many are very old, sick et al, but I don't recall so many dying within such a short period of each other like this. Same goes for musicians also, now that I think about it
