"You gentlemen aren't REALLY trying to kill my son, are you?" - Clara Thornhill, "North By Northwest"

I have always want to have a posting titled that. This was my one chance. However, I must warn you that in no way involves the deliciousness of the Nutty Bars, Oatmeal Creme Pies, or Star Crunches that we all grew up with – and if you didn’t, I feel very, very sorry for you. Ahem… back to reality. Or rather, this celebrity encounter with Debbie Lee Carrington. She’s a little person, hence the posting title. But not just a little peson, but an actress and stunt woman who has made appearances in a variety of TV shows and films.

She has made appearances in such shows as Baywatch, Married…With Children, and Bones. On the silver screen, she’s been in Men in Black, Total Recall, Under the Rainbow, and in Return of the Jedi as an Ewok.

But my favorite role of hers was in the Seinfeld episode The Stand-In, in which she played Tammy, the little actress who found out that Kramer’s friend Mickey was ‘heightening’ by putting lifts in his shoes – hence her inscription on my photo that she signed for me at the Hollywood Show on February 11, 2012, advising me to “never heighten.”

Utterly cute and just as sweet as a real Little Debbie, this Debbie was exceptionally friendly and kind enough to pose for a photo with me for free. It was a photo I was proud to add to my collection.
