I meant to post this last week. Actor James Gregory was born December 23, 1911. He was a regular on the series "Barney Miller," the 1959-1961 series "The Lawless Years," and an episode of "Star Trek TOS." He also appeared on stage, and in movies like "The Manchurian Candidate," "PT 109," "Beneath the Planet of the Apes," and others.
When Emily was a baby and we still lived in Arizona, we were eating supper at a Sedona restaurant. As it turned out, Gregory was also there, a few tables away. (We learned later that he'd retired in Sedona. He died in 2002 and is buried there.) Gregory waved at Emily from his table during the meal. We told him that he was the first celebrity whom she'd met, which pleased him.
