Ronny Cox - Captain Bogamil in Beverly Hills Cop and he was Kinsey in Stargate

Beverly D'Angelo - Chevy Chase wife in the Vacation movies. She is just as beautiful in person.

Ned Beatty - Starred in Deliverance with Ronny, Jon Voight, and Burt Reynolds. He was the one that had to "SQUEAL LIKE A PIG!"

All three of the above movie stars are in my house recording a song for a benefit CD. HOW COOL IT THAT?

I would have to say that that is VERY cool!

Did you know they were coming or did they just show up and surprise you??

That is SO COOL!! Are you trying to act all normal like you have movie stars in your home every day?

What does one serve movie stars anyways? Holy crap, I'm giddy for you...

Why are they at your house? I'm confused. Personal friends of yours? Have your people call their people and get back to us, darling.

FOr those that don't know my sweetie is a singer/songwriter and he has his own state of the art recording studio in our home. I mean it is about 2500 square feet of space. HUGE!! It takes up half our house. LOL!! Anyway, we periodically have people come in and do projects and this makes us money. Ronny Cox has been in a lot lately. He did his latest CD in our studio. He is a great singer/songwriter as well. Anyway, his good friend Ned Beatty and Beverly D'Angelo are doing a rendition of "16 Guns, What do you get" for some benefit CD.

Yes I knew they were coming but I was so nonchalant about it. I was all "giddy" inside meeting Bev and Ned today. They are so cool. Just really sweet people. I talked alot with Ned's wife.

Anyway, it was a blast having them in the house. I gave them water and veggie crudette'. They didn't really eat because they were recording and singing. But the water was much appreciated.

Here is a couple of pics to enjoy.

Here is a pic of Bev doing finger snaps for the recording.

Here is Ronny Cox and Ned Beatty in the studio rehearsing.

Here is Bev and the Producer, DUB of the session. Don't know his real name. That is what everyone was calling him. He has produced HUGE HUGE people. Bryan Adams is one I can remember right now. He was a sweetie too.

Ok, that is sooooooooooo cool and I am so impressed !!!! How did you remain so nonchalant?????

WOW! I love Bev with Chevy Chase, she looks younger now than she did in the movie years ago. Thanks for sharing.

How cool! Great pictures too!

That is so cool. Beverly is so beautiful

Cool Beans !!!!!!!!!!!!

How awesome was that?!?! Kudos to you for staying so calm. Celebs like it when you treat them like a normal everyday person. (Or so I've heard - LOL)

I'm glad you all had fun! And being the huge Stargate fan that I am, I recognized Ronny Cox straight away. How fun it would've been to chat it up with him!

Ned forget his guitar here last night so he called this morning and swung by to pick it up. His wife Sandra and he stopped by and Ned and I chatted endlessly about Kentucky (my home state) and how growing up there was so cool. He plays a washtub bass. I told him that my grandmoter would kick his sorry butt if he were to have put a hole in her good washtub. We laughed about that. I told him that was my swimming pool for the first 5 years of my life.

He and Sandy are just the coolest people. They wanna come and visit again the next time they are in the city. They live on the 'mountain' according to Sandy. Not sure where exactly but it is within 4 hours drive of here.

Ned gave me his personal CD of old bluegrass cover tunes. I can't wait to play it. He made a special point of coming back after they walked out of the house to give me the CD. What a cool guy. Sandy is a hoot as well.

Ronny is like an old friend now. He has very kind and soft eyes. I have known him for almost 2 years now. What a thrill it is.

Ya know I get all giddy inside when I meet celebrities, but I don't show it. Yes, they do love it when you treat them like normal people. Because let's face it they are normal people. THey just have their lives out there for us all to pick apart.

Anyway, it was an uplifting experience at a time when I could use some uplifting. It really puts things into perspective.

Happy Holidays, Merry CHristmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah

and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

HUGS EVERYONE!!

gee Penni - that is so cool. I am so interested in that kind of stuff because I write lyrics.

Need to meet you and your husband sometime - I'm from Ohio - are you nearby?
