The day I touched Paul McCartney and his car drove over my foot…….
I was filming a tv show called “Punky Brewster” in 1984. On October 23, 1984, Paul McCartney was scheduled to appear on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson. My pal, George Gaines, who worked on the show with me, got me tickets to see Paul. I was in the audience that night, in Heaven, as I saw Paul appear and bring out a birthday cake for Johnny, who was celebrating his 59th birthday that night. Paul was, as always, charming, funny, delightful and warm. After the show ended, a bunch of us from the audience ran outside to try to catch a glimpse of Paul leaving the studio. Paul drove out in a small sports car. He saw us and rolled down the window to say hi to us. His wife Linda was in the passenger seat. I ran over to Paul and touched him on the shoulder.
I touched a Beatle!!
As Paul drove off, very slowly, I felt the weight of what seemed like a dinosaur smash down on my foot. It just squashed my foot, but it only hurt a little. I realized Paul McCartney had driven his car over my foot. This was one of the happiest, proudest days of my life.
