29. Alan Alda is a class act
Edited on Tue Nov-20-07 11:35 AM by Va Lefty
Not only that but he is possibly the nicest celebrity in the world. I met Mr. Alda years ago on a cross-country flight. The man was tired (it was one of those "red-eye" flights) and had a cold but he was charming and gracious to everyone who approached him. He took time to talk with people and posed for pictures and was just an all around nice guy. He also was a big supporter of The Equal Rights Amendment in the Seventies/Eighties. If Mr. Alda chooses to go on Faux Noise to sell his book, I have no problem with that.
