NAMES IN THE NEWS : All Day-O Waiting for Luggage
Even stars have to wait for their luggage in airports. Just ask Harry Belafonte.
Belafonte arrived Sunday at Indianapolis International Airport for a lecture as part of Black History Month. The globe-trotting singer-activist spent more than half an hour waiting for his luggage.
“It’s like this all over the world,” he said with a laugh. “There are a lot of people standing around, so I guess I’m safe--so far.”
The 62-year-old performer nearly went unnoticed by people passing through the airport, but Jayne Hale of Oxford, Ind., recognized him and had him autograph an airline menu.
“He was going strong when I was young,” said Hale, 48. “I wasn’t sure that was him until I heard him speak.”
But then, she has an eye for celebrity. On a flight earlier Sunday, she had singer Tom Jones sign the same menu.
