Cat and Scott Lowell at The Berkshire Theatre Festival. Scott was incredibly generous with his time to everyone who wanted to talk to him and get a picture or an autograph. This is Cat's account of her talk with him:

"I waited, along with my friend The Countess, until every one else had had their turn talking to Scott and getting their photos and autographs. When the coast was clear, I stepped forward and introduced myself. I told him I wasn’t there for an autograph but to say thank you, and I told him my story, and thanked him for the show that had such an impact on my life. I was more emotional about it than I had thought I would be, and I stumbled a little over the words. But it didn’t seem to matter. To my amazement, his eyes got misty and he hugged me and told me how glad he was that I’d told him, that he thought it was wonderful and he congratulated me and seemed, to my delight, to be impressed by what I’d accomplished. And he said that he was going to pass what I’d said on to everyone else and that they were always thrilled when they heard stories about the show making a difference in people’s lives."

Sounds like a happy ending.

I totally agree with kb, one of the most wonderful thinghs that could happend in showbusiness is when someone in the audience gets to the artist and thanks him for the work he has done...

too bad most of them pretends to be "STARS" above in heaven, unreacheable and they deny themselves enjoying this pleasure...

it is great to read this guy is not like that
Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks guys. Cat reads my blog and will be happy to see your comments.
The ways we find to get from "here" to "there". The important thing being , to get "there". Nice story.
