Not to ick your wow, but I actually met Erin Brockovich. I lived In Barstow Ca for the first 30 years of my life. Hinkley is about 10 miles from Barstow. I'm actually IN the courtroom scene ( extra)where they go before Judge Leroy Simmons. ( Real judge.)
She stayed over after the filming each day to sign autographs for the extras. We also ran into Albert Finney at Slash X Ranch, a local bar. He likes to drink. He was such a great guy to talk to. My FIL is also one of the extras in that courtroom scene. My FIL talked to Finney for awhile at Slash X.
Barstow is considered the "armpit" of the U.S. for good reason, which is why we wanted out. But that is a different story..
