Joe WehingerEd McMahon was one of my first celebrity interviews for a magazine.
Here's a link to the article. This was about 2 years ago. I walked in to cover a film festival, and 2 minutes later I stole a hotel pen and was in a room alone with him. We had maybe ten minutes together.
He was a
class-act. He put up with my fumbling, redundant questions and all-around newbiness. I have met him five more times since then. (He says he remembers, I can't imagine that.)
He was always smiling. Always eager to help. Always cooperative.
