Back in 2002, she and the actor were on the same flight to New York City. Before they got on the plane, she noticed him in the longue and decided to talk to him about the first movie he directed, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, which she had just seen.
She was very complimentary about it, so he decided to continue their conversation on the place when he asked her to sit next to him for the six-hour flight.
The two of the them continued to talk, but then she had to go to the bathroom. When she stood up, he asked her if she would ever a date a younger man. You see the two of them are 19 years apart, so he is definitely a lot younger than her.
Back in the early 2000s, women, including me, would have done anything to date him and join the Mile High Club right then and there. However, she was given the chance to do it, and she said no.
Can you believe it? Even as they parted ways at the airport with a hug, she was still declining the offer of a lifetime.
After she was done telling her story, Kmetko asked her if she has seen him since that fateful trip. She alluded to the fact that she hasn’t. However, he did not follow up by asking if she regrets her decision now that it is almost 25 years later.
That interview was a few weeks ago, and it looks like we got the answer to both. Over the weekend, the Knots Landing star went to a screening of his film, Jay Kelly, and they were able to have a moment that was captured on camera.
By the looks of their faces, I think we can all come to the agreement that she is telling him she regrets her decision not to take him up on his offer.
If only we could turn back time, then she would have a plane to remember and maybe Up in the Air could have been about them. Yeah, I only the saw that movie once and fell asleep due to boredom.
