In fact, this was no ordinary movie star.
As a writer in Hollywood, I'd met and worked with many of the giants in film and television.
But this man was somehow different.
He seemed to exude a powerful aura that filled the entire room.
And yet .
and yet .
there was also a kind of warmth and gentleness in his presence that invited you closer.
