Had to contribute this little background tidbit...
When I was still in high school (we're talking some 22 years ago now), the members of a breakfast morning crew on a local FM radio station were each recounting their most embarrassing celebrity encounters. The lead announcer* told his tale:
In his first job, straight out of journalism school as an entertainment reporter, he scored the plum role of interviewing Olivia Newton-John, who had returned home to attend the Sydney premiere of Xanadu. Bonus - he got to accompany her to the screening. Apparently he was the envy of the office.
Unfortunately, poor guy couldn't remember any of it... because he had fallen asleep during the movie - with Olivia seated next to him...
Olivia was by all accounts very sweet about it, saying something along the lines of: 'That's okay - I know it's a horrible movie'. So it wasn't just the critics!
* From memory, the announcer's name was Paul Holmes (2dayFM, Sydney).
