Jeff MacKay

The problem with meeting celebrities is that you usually don't recognize them, and then their feelings get hurt.



I never saw Black Sheep Squadron, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Magnum PI, or The Transformers, so how did I know that the guy I met was a celebrity.  I didn't even know that he was an actor, although it's a safe bet in West Hollywood




He was living in Hollywood, a few blocks from Mann's Chinese (and near where the Gay Community Center is today).

He told me that he was born in Dallas but grew up in Oklahoma City, and

That's all I knew about him, except he had a nice smile, a husky, hirsute physique, and his name was "Jeff."

"Jeff and Jeff," he said.  "We match."







It took some sleuthing to figure out that he was Jeff MacKay.
