When I was a girl my family lived in southern California. From time to time we took trips to the beach to walk in the sand and watch the waves. On one occasion we encountered Walter Matthau and his family doing the same thing. At the time I barely knew who he was. I guess you can’t swing a dead cat in southern California without hitting a famous actor. But Utah has her share of film celebrities, too. Robbie Benson, Tony Danza, Edward Herrman, Buddy Hackett, Cheech Marin and of course Robert Redford all have or had homes in Utah. Yorkshire lays claim to a few stars, too. Judi Dench is from York and Ben Kingsley is from Scarborough. Sean Bean (Boromir from Lord of the Rings) hails from Sheffield. Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter) was raised in Leeds. Patrick Stewart has a summer home in Grassington. I’ve been to all these places, but I’ve never run into any of them.
