      I met Steve Martin when he was filming Planes, Trains and Automobiles in NorthernIllinois. He was a PRICK to the fans who had come out to see him. John Candy was great! He walked over to the fans and talked and signed autographs until the crew dragged him away. Martin just waved the fans off without a word and walked away.

    I had a friend that fell down in P.E. class couldn't get back up found out he had Leukemia and he wanted to meet,
    Steve Martin in person then call his Booking agent. just so happen Steve Martin was talking to him same time ,
    then call him. Steve Martin drop everything flew down that very day and saw my friend Bruce spin then play Banjos And told each others jokes with one an other. And Bruce got his wish. The next day I lost my friend.
