I bear in mind properly that Might morning when a receptionist at Weider buzzed my workplace to let me know somebody downstairs wished a phrase with me. I instructed her I’d be down in a minute. It occurred typically. Bodybuilding followers from all around the world had been all the time dropping by the Weider Constructing on Erwin Road, Woodland Hills, to say hi there or to have a favourite image autographed. Not this time. My customer was none aside from Lou Gossett Jr—who wanted no introduction. We shook palms, laughed a bit, after which he adopted me to my workplace to speak some severe bodybuilding. He had an enormous film arising and wanted to form up in a rush. I used to be very happy to oblige. And now, whilst I simply recall the event and the way not like different stars he was. (Self-important Bobby Blake involves thoughts.) I can hardly consider the crushing information that Lou Gossett handed away this morning. My condolences to his household. He was in actual life a real gentleman, if solely a Hollywood officer. The story of his rise to film and stage stardom will proceed to encourage readers world-wide, younger black males specifically!
