A Bob of Her Own

I was excited to meet Megan Cavanagh when she appeared at the Hollywood Show on July 9, 2016. In the past, I have been similarly excited to meet cast members of important shows to me, only to find that they didn’t bring any photos along of said show. In a couple of cases, this caused me to bypass them altogether. This wouldn’t happen now as I’d simply go for the photo op. But fortunately that wasn’t the case here.

Granted my criteria has somewhat loosened in more recent years, but any way you slice it, she would have been a cool person to meet. 
I’ve never been big into collecting stunt people when it comes to celebrity encounters. I certainly don’t want to diminish their roles in helping to create a successful film by any means, but some how they’ve always seemed a little obscure to be paying good money for an autograph. I’ve passed up a good many – even the stunt double for Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator films. Of course the case could be made that the men behind the Friday the 13th Jason masks or the Halloween Michael Myers masks were just stunt men as well. But that ‘s beside the point.
