Thank you, Joel Stein, for the wonderful story about George Clooney's visit [March 3]. You totally confirmed for me what I had thought was true: Clooney is just a cool, down-to-earth dude you would love to have a beer with. If there were more people like Clooney in Hollywood (people who don't mind laughing at themselves rather than who are dying for attention), young actors wouldn't be living such chaotic lives. Next time you have Clooney over for dinner, let me know - I'll bring the wine! Marc Falco, NORRISTOWN...
...Last year I was having dinner with friends at a restaurant when Clooney walked in with a small party and took a table near the door. On my way out, I caught his eye, told him I hoped he would win the Oscar and then moved toward the exit. What happened next surprised my friends, who had urged me not to invade his privacy. Clooney called me back to his table, stuck out his hand and asked my name. Then he said he greatly appreciated my coming over. He really is as Stein portrayed him. Bob Wechsler, New York City...
...have been in love with Clooney since I first saw him on ER. How can I get him to come to my house and check my carbon monoxide alarm? Nancy Harris, New York City...
...Stein has described Clooney to A T: a truly decent guy who is not full of himself. A female colleague of mine was in Rome some three years ago and found herself caught in a downpour with her arms full of parcels and her umbrella blown out. Suddenly a man appeared from behind her and offered to share his umbrella. It was Clooney. He was by himself (no minders) and as soon as he heard her Australian accent, said how much he liked it Down Under. While he escorted her back to her hotel, she had quite a good conversation...
...Clooney is apparently a rich, famous, handsome guy who is dedicated to his craft, doesn't take himself too seriously and makes those around him who aren't quite so rich, famous or handsome feel good. Wow! In this age of self-centered, ego-driven tabloid stars, it's nice to know there's someone out there to whom Paul Newman can hand the torch. Kevin Statham, Sanger, California...
