Meryl Streep on LAX-JFK 757 in early March, two rows ahead of me in Business. She pretty much read the NY Times and a thick hardcover all the way to JFK.....was very pleasant and smiley with all around her and thanked the FAs at the end of the flight. She looked remarkably good (in a natural way) and not at all like someone almost pushing 60...

McLovin (Chris) is my wife's nephew. He and Azaria have been bouncing around working on a Harold Ramis film, "Year One". It's some sort of history of mankind thing, with Jack Black as the lead. I think they were on location in Shreveport and New Mexico in the last month.

Yes, I guess so 
. Was trying to point out that Chris comes from my wife's side of the marriage.

In regards to he being down-to-earth, he is a pretty good-natured kid. However success out of nowhere has hardened him somewhat. He's constantly complaining about the loss of privacy, because of being recognized everywhere. I think he's built up a defense mechanism that didn't exist two years ago. However I'm pleased (and his parents would be also) that he was pleasant. Chris absolutely realizes that he's lucky as h3ll.

Robert Redford at JFK yesterday througth biz elite section. I guess he is one celeb that didn't have any facial work done. He looks really old.

Liza Minelli
Saw Liza about 8 months ago on a LGA-TPA - noticed her in the CRC with her assistant. One CRC member got star-struck as it were and asked for autographs. I was watching the World Series. She obliged with the autographs, he went back to his seat, then 15 mins later came back and asked for more sutographs. She politley declined, and said, "I think I've signed already what you wanted." He kept bugging her, then I stood up and said, "Sir, obviously the lady doesn't want to be bothered." She sat in First on the flight and when her agent met her in TPA, she asked for my name and got me tickets to her show. Couldn't make the show, but, boy, she had lots of wine!

Nice of you to politely intervene on her behalf. I always feel somewhat bad even looking at celebs for long enough to confirm that they are who they are--they've got a right to be let alone just like everyone else. I always hope nobody bothers them.

Peter Fonda DL 152 LAX to ATL on Saturday, May 10, seated in 1D. Very quiet, very to himself and very much in lower back pain it seemed walking down the jetway. I've seen Henry Fonda walk faster and more agile than did Peter.
