I shouldn't have written that thing about Lee Iococca dying at 94 because I'm sorry to report that Arte Johnson has died at 90.
When I was four or five, my mother had some idea of my brother and I auditioning for something she heard about. She draped a throw over a chair and we were supposed to appear behind it and said "Very interesting...but stupid." I knew the line from Arte Johnson on Laugh In, but I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Was I saying "int'resting" instead of "in-ter-esting"? Could I not do a German accent? Was I not squinting?
We didn't audition for whatever it was and thank God for that. I would probably have liked being a child actor if it didn't involve acting. It just sounds awful.
