He was very kind to me and even let me sit in Michelle's seat, and had someone bring me a soda. (Michelle hadn't made it to the set yet). He kept teasing me about skipping school, and asked me why the young people always thought it was ok to do so. I told him I was having a bad day and had to get out of there. I promised him I would go to school the next day LOL! Now if I could only find that autograph...

I had heard that Eddie Murphy was going to star in a remake for big screen Fantasy Island. Not sure if that's true. Sounds weird.
