[USER=68]@Alexis[/USER]I wrote down my thoughts of the day - at that time and im trying hard to find that record of what I thought.  I know I was very STAR STRUCK and I think i lost the powers of speech when introduced to Patrick Duffy.  I must have looked a right muppet!I had never been on a film set and was surprised how dark and dusty it was - with so many people around and i wondered what you had to do to get a job as It would appeal! Even if i served the coffee!!  All the crew were very relaxed and in shorts (it was Aug) I remember thinking how lucky they were to work with THEE cast of Dallas.I saw all the sets of SF,  and interior, the outside was so small and the pool was tiny or so it seemed and the painted back driop made it obvious it was on a set and not the real outdoors of SF.I also got to see the Oil Barons, Cliffs apt, the EO Offices, etc but anything that wasnt in use was covered up with dust cloths.  I think I sat on every chair and settee in the SF living room and same in the kitchen.I know In visited several sound stages and remembering at the time that the sets didnt make sense. You would walk out of one door and the next room was on a set 2 doors down! The casts trailers were a fair size and thought they were pretty comfortable.  Susan Howard a had a big bible in hersI wasnt allowed my camera on set, I was lucky to get on the set as it was a closed set with no visitors alllowed, but i guess they made an exception for a star struck teenager.  I dont know if they thought Id sell my pics to the National Enquirer!!!A national newspaper in UK took photos tho and my mum and I tried very hard to get copies of the photos but they werent very helpful as the Photographer was an American and not British and I dont think they tried very hard which disappointing for me.  However they did feature my story and a full page spread.  Since my trip happened so quickly and no internet back them, a few friends got a shock opening the papers to find me in it!I spent a day also with Steve Kanaly and got lots of photos from that with my own camera - He told me that BBG was instrumental in getting the SF kitchen buit as thats where she spent so much time at home.  I was grateful for any little tit bit of BBG!I sent a post card and thank you to the policeman, who walked up the path of the holiday home my parents were renting, it was the least I could do as he had no idea how happy he made one little girl, and all because he came to see me once he was off duty.  He didnt have to and I will be eternally grateful.  It was all my dreams come true.</blockquote>
