A Surreal Moment

I am a script supervisor in the entertainment industry. I have been working on the same show for the past 6 years and during our 4 month hiatus, I ususally find work elsewhere. Currently I am working on a brand new show which will air on a new network created by Discovery Channel. It's difficult to explain what it's like to work in entertainment. You get so used to being around "celebrities" that you don't usually give it a second thought...and then...sometimes you do. Take the other day for instance--we finished taping one of two shows and broke for dinner. We are shooting on location at a house, so "dinner" was set up a few doors down in someone's front yard which resembles something you'd see on "Cops". Let's just say it isn't the classiest of places. Anyway, we're all sitting at long tables and Nell Newman (Paul Newman/Joanne Woodward's daughter) sits down as does Martin Mull (a comedian who was a regular on Hollywood Squares). At first of course I think nothing of it, then as I'm listening to Nell and Martin talk--Nell telling us her parents are in New York right now..Martin telling stories of his good friend Steve Martin and the banjo playing gatherings at his house, I'm thinking--wow--I really don't lead a normal life. I mean, this is strange if you really sit and think about it (which I usually don't, since I've been working in this business for 19 years). I looked across the table and thought about how Nell looks just like her father--same eyes, same features and what it must be like to be raised by two of the most famous people in the world. The truth is, she's completely normal and so was Martin, but they lead very interesting lives and sometimes, so do I. I don't take my life for granted, I'm just used to it after all these years. I thought if I started to write these moments down and share them with other people, it would keep my life in perspective, so if I ever did take it for granted, it would bring me back to reality, because as an ex-boyfriend recently pointed out--there's nothing about my life that is normal. Did I mention I was single?
