Marshall and the Movies

When I was very young, I saw the famed actor Christopher Lloyd at a hotel in Austin, Texas.  I recognized him and asked him for an autograph. Usually people recognize him as zany Doc Brown from the “Back to the Future” movies.  But, according to my mom’s report of the incident, he claims that I was the first person to recognize him as “Mr. Hunches and Bunches” from “In Search of Dr. Seuss,” my favorite movie when I was 4.

I still have the autograph.  It’s in a binder in my closet.  He wrote it on the back of a piece of the hotel’s stationery; it reads: “Marshall, very best to you!  Christopher Lloyd”.
