(8/11) When our interview concluded, I came clean and revealed the secret identity of the nerdy 16-year-old who had asked for his autograph in the aisle at the “Annie Hall” premiere. He totally loved the story, and was so pleased to know ...

(3/11) concluding piano notes following, “We need the eggs.” (If you know, you know.) After catching my breath, I finally stood and made my way up the aisle. I soon realized I was walking in step, next to Tony Roberts, the brilliant co-star of the film that had just ...
