A Very Weird Dream

I dreamt I was on a school bus with Chris Kelly. It didn’t look like him, but it was him. We were in Hollywood, and Helen Hayes was also on the bus with us.

Helen Hayes said to Chris “You write for television.” Then she said to me “You’re not famous”.

Then a sort-of MC got up and introduced the First Lady of American Theatre to the rest of the people on the bus and announced that Miss Hayes had a taken a role in the new movie written by Chris Kelly. She bowed and said how proud she was to be in it.

Then the dream turned into a clip of the movie, which also starred Chris. And it was a Porky’s-type movie about a summer camp and Chris played the camp counsellor. His acting was so over the top, I was thinking “He’s thinks he’s Kirk Douglas in Spartacus”.

Fin.

You were in a dream with Helen Hayes, who was in Airport with Dean Martin, who starred in The Caddy with Jerry Lewis, who was in The King of Comedy with Robert DeNiro, who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon...

I knew you would be six steps or less away.

I happen to know that Chris Kelly has a dark, small office on the Sony lot in Culver City, in the Myrna Loy Building, and he likes to call people and tell them he's in Myrna Loy, and no one laughs, either because they don't get it, or don't know who she is, or because it's, you know, not actually that funny.

But Helen Hayes? That makes no sense at all.

Helen vs Myrna would be some very old man's version of Ginger vs Mary Ann, right?
