And it's amazing how much those "Battle of the..." events were so much a part of the '70s!
Back in 1976, one of my high school classes got tickets to a Mike Douglas Show taping (which was recorded here in Philly) and I managed to snag an autograph from Don Knotts, who was obviously on his way out to his limo and probably had a million things on his mind, but who stopped, looked at me, and graciously signed my little autograph book. But when it came to getting Kristy McNicol's, who at the time was around the same age as my classmates, I watched as her managers and handlers forced her to greet the crowds, holding her in place as she was surrounded by people, and press. And the sheer terror in her eyes hit me so hard that from that point on, I refused to approach any celebrity for an autograph after that.
