Personal Appearance


I love to attend personal appearances. They're fun for me for many reasons. I get to catch up with old friends, I get to meet celebrities I've always admired & I get to chat with people who know more about my life & career than I do! Several things about these events are consistent. At least 100 people will ask me which Darren was my favorite (I'm going to start saying my husband). A couple famous actors will hit on me shamelessly (which while very flattering, would be much more enjoyable if we were both single). I also get to hear some great stories that I've never heard before. This past weekend I sat next to my friend Lou Ferrigno. He's an amazing guy who's been married for 29 years (& didn't even flirt a little). He told me that in May of 1995 he was in the hospital with pneumonia, that he contracted by drinking milk in another country. Same thing happened to me by the way (one time in my teens & another time with ice cream in my twenties. So be careful in countries that don't pasteurize). Well it turns out that Lou was in the room right next to Elizabeth Montgomery, when she passed away. Lou Ferrigno was the very last person to get Liz' autograph.

Your favorite Darren is your husband - that's a GREAT line! And thanks for sharing the Lou Ferrigno story. I was able to meet him at Chiller Theatre - he's a nice guy who is larger than life. Great picture!

Hi Erin,
So, witch Darrin was your favorite ?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

I have always liked your Howard Stern quote where you said "They shouldn't switch Dick's mid-stream like that"

That's a neat story about Liz. She seemed like a class act and the fact that you speak well of her bears that out.

Erin,
If you don’t mind I have one stupid question for you that you may never get asked.
In all my research I have spent hours searching for one annoying little thing that I cannot find out.
What does the K stand for in Diane K. Murphy ?
I told you it’s a stupid question!!

Hey Gary-
The K is for Kathleen.
