The postseason is over, congrats to the Kansas City Royals, what a hella hustlin' team! When the Cubs got bumped by the Mets, all the BTTF2 "nostalgia" died with them, no more talk of Marty MyFly arriving in 2015 in the mocked up Delorean to discover hover boards, and seeing the Cubs World Series Champions 2015 marquee, I mean it was almost to a saturation point in the media, sorry. However, this thread is not about McFly, but another well known Marty, Marty Ingels who passed away a few weeks ago. My 1st cousin, who lives in Northridge CA (in the same condo complex where Telly Savalas kicked the bucket), is a pool man for the rich and famous in Hollywood and Beverly Hills, has some great stories of "star sightings" and here is one of the best. About 7 years ago, he was driving his pickup truck on Mulholland Dr.,when all of a sudden he was cut off buy this guy on a Vespa wearing like one of those little French beenies, and it was none other then Mr Shirley Jones, Marty Ingels himself! My cousin asked him why the hell he was driving like a idiot for, when Marty rudely blurted out: "Do you know who I am?". My cousin's response was "YA, YOUR A FUCKING ASSHOLE" (he said it was obvious who it was but didn't want play into it), and then he said Ingels wanted to fight him! Here's the kicker, cuz is 6'5", a good 300+ pounds! He's also a overall pretty good natured guy, and Ingels drove off after he gave a king cuss to my relative! UNBELIEVABLE!? Hopefully Shirley will put his life insurance $$$ to good use.......
It's always interesting how the public persona of celebrities can be so different than their actual personalities. I remember Vincent Price who was the king of horror movies for years was quite the cooking wizard rather than a real wizard. Marty may have been a funny man on the boob tube but it sounds like he wasn't exactly Mr. Nice Guy on a Vespa.
