Look at your schedule. Gotta hang out with the gal who actually saw Sean Connery. With her own very two eyes!!

I would have guessed Connery to be a big man too. Would you say he was over six feet, Wendy? Heaven help anybody who met John Wayne. He was as big as a barn!

Yes, I'd say he was over six feet. Definitely a big man, but I guess he wasn't as massive as I expected him to be. It was about 13 years ago, he was walking a red carpet with Harrison Ford, and I was quite close, maybe 4 feet away - he looked wonderful, just not as prepossessing as I had thought he would. As I said, human sized, compared to what I thought he would look like. Of course, had I shaken his hand, I'm sure he would have looked different, front on, from my 5 foot tall perspective. But in the crowd of people and actors, I expected him to tower over everyone! He had large hands, and a large head, but was slenderer than I expected. Actually, they were all slenderer than I expected. I guess they know that the camera adds 10 pounds. :D

In that case, put me on radio!
