In 1983, Mr. Gross attended his first AG in Phoenix. Prior to the gathering, he had a most unusual and delightful introduction to Mensa when the tour bus broke a wheel. His group formed a “ghost town” while awaiting a relief bus. The adventure was covered by the local papers! He wants to share his experience with you because it was preparation for his successful Hollywood presentations. His talk will also include unexpected connections between such stars as Julie Andrews and Lesley-Ann Warren; Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier; and Melina Mercouri and Glenda Jackson. And there will be surprises. Did you know that Bobby Darin was a graduate of Bronx High School of Science? Or that Jayne Mansfield had a “genius” IQ? Find out for yourself!
