Yesterday I posted my first diary entry ever. Here’s another entry from my diary, when I was 14 years old and got to attend a famous Broadway flop.

* * * * * * *

Friday, May 6, 1988 (Actually, Saturday May 7, but it’s 12:33 in the morning.)

This day will live in my mind forever! My parents were supposed to see a preview of a new Broadway musical, Carrie, based on Stephen King’s book, but they couldn’t find anyone to go with them so they took me and A____ [my brother].

It was really strange. Act I was weird, but Act II was better. Actually, the play was great! It was surrealistic. The audience really got into it! It ended at around 10:30.

And afterwards, we waited outside the stage door. I saw several actors walk out – and then I saw Gene Anthony Ray (Billy) walk out! I got his autograph!

Later, I got the autograph of Linzi Hately (Carrie)! She talked to me (well, I said she was great, and she said “thank you”).

That was around 11:05-11:10.

But the person I was really waited for was Betty Buckley (Margaret). I waited… and waited… and waited…

Finally my Dad brought the car around + he and Mom waited there. Some guys left, but they came back – one of them saw her manager, who said she would be coming out soon! (This was around 11:45!)

Sure enough, she did! A_____ got her autograph, then I did!!! I told her she was great. She asked me how I liked it. I said I loved it! I was ecstatic and I still am! I definitely want to be an actor!

I MET A STAR!!!

I MET A FAMOUS PERSON!!!

I MET BETTY BUCKLEY!!!!!!

This day will live in my mind forever!
