Believe it or not: Karen Black has a sister named Gail Brown who was formerly an actress on the soap opera "Another World".Black and Brown ? It's just one of those things.
The first movie I saw starring Karen Black was "The Great Gatsby".In one scene the director and camera man did quite a tight close-up of Karen Black's face which was about 4 feet tall on the screen WHOAAAAaaaa!
The Greyhound arrived at the bus station in Danville,Illinois about 9 AM Central time, so I had to fool around a little bit until the theaters open usually 2:00 PM.
Not only that I went to food places like "Steak and Shake" I usually ordered a steak burger sandwich ,french fries and a milkshake "At 9:30 in the morning ??!!! " ; "Yes, at 9:30 in the morning and a lot of onions and red/green peppers, please." I had a cast iron stomach back then, also I had done a lot of walking from place to place in Danville.

In 1974 I use to live in a small town that didn't have any entertainment not even movie theaters fortunately they had a pharmacy that sold Greyhound bus tickets.
One Saturday and still in 1974: I took a Greyhound bus to Danville, Illinois to see the movie "Airport 75" the cost of the 30 mile round trip ticket back then was $5.25 also at the time if you saw the movie once , you can stay in the theater and see it again. The cost of the movie ticket was $3.50.
The Greyhound arrived at the bus station in Danville,Illinois about 9 AM Central time, so I had to fool around a little bit until the theaters open usually 2:00 PM.
Mainly I went shopping they had a clothing store there called "Gary's" and I bought 3 pairs of blue jeans at 3 for $5 and I also bought other items from other stores as well.
Where did I store all those items after they have been bought ? Well, back at the bus station ,they had lockers where you put two quarters in a slot, turn the key, open the door, put your bags in and pull out the key and keep it in your pocket until you're done with your business.

After the movie I did a lot more fooling around,maybe going to another movie theater showing a different movie, until 7 PM which was the time the Greyhound will have taken me back home.
In 1983 I have ask for Karen Black's autograph via U.S.A snail mail ,back then celebrities gave autographs out for free just for the asking.
In 1985 I finally received Karen Black's autograph and for some reason it came from a hotel in Toronto, Canada.In the picture below notice the gold emboss in the upper left corner, also notice in her autograph where she crossed the lines (over lapping) they are darker indicating a live signature.
