I met John Corbett this evening at the Marquee martini bar in Santa Barbara. What a lovely man. I had no trouble walking up to him and talking to him because my appreciation of him is authentic. Not because he’s simply an actor, but because I admire who he appears to be on screen. I’m a pretty good judge of character so it wasn’t a surprise that he is the real deal.

Having met him, he’s as genuine, authentic, and heart centered as he appears to be on film. Love him. After talking with him for a while, he got up (much taller than I realized) and gave me a big warm bear hug. Good man. He’s been with Bo Derek for many years and I will say, she’s one lucky lady. My daughter and I really enjoyed meeting him.

I decided to play the “I’m an old lady and can get away with anything” card when I went up to him and he chastised me for saying I’m old. I told him I was just using that as a ploy, that I feel young. But I did pay attention to his “lecture” because I don’t feel old, don’t look old and don’t want to be perceived as old. So, I think I’ll let go of the number. I’m youthful, work hard to be so, and might as well put it out into the universe that I’m a sparkly woman who just so happens to have been on this planet for a wee bit of time more than a lot of you youngsters.

Anyway, it was a delight to meet John and it was nice to know that my judgment of him as a truly nice guy, was right on. I wish him continued success and happiness.

Hugs to you, John,
