The Big Shots of Big Hollywood

Makes me sad

Recently I went to one of those shows where you can get autographs of celebrities. They sit at table after table and sign photos of themselves.

You walk up to the table, say hi, choose a photo, pay them for the photo and the autograph and then walk away.

It is kind of depressing to see these people that have appeared in movies and starred in TV shows like they are dogs at a pound waiting for someone to pay attention to them.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with what they're doing and you have to have a career of a certain level before you are ever even at one of these shows, but as I walked around I felt bad seeing one of the last Munchkins sitting in a corner all by himself.

Did I buy some photos from some people that I felt bad for?

Yes.
