TV Guide
I thought Jay Leno worked at the Caddy dealership in Andover MA as a lot boy, that is the legend around here anyway.
Yeah the Dany Devito being a hairdresser suprised me too. My boyfriend is a hairdresser.
I wonder if Denzel Washington, Ken Kercheval and Whoopi Goldberg were colleagues or something?? They all worked in the same trade!
LOL so funny. Your 8 ) turned to a smiley I gather? hehehe
No. 8 comment is me :)
"The best is Denzel"
Denzel is always the best! :D
Even at the "ripe old age" of 52 and 11 months!
I think this one is a myth though, he recently said while doing promos for American Gangster that he played the piano in clubs...
wow...they had wacky jobs...
