She’s Really Flush With Pride After Fetching Lahti

I am the “someone” who went to get Christine Lahti from the ladies’ restroom after she got her Golden Globe for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series for “Chicago Hope” (“Two Jacks and One Lost Lahti,” Calendar, Jan. 20).

When I saw the huge line coming out of the ladies’ restroom, I decided to wait outside for a while. Then I saw Lahti lining up. When I heard her name coming from the stage, I dashed back to the restroom, passing by Phoebe Cates, Anne Heche and Ellen DeGeneres, among other stars, asking everyone if Lahti was still in there. Then I shouted her name in case she was inside one of the stalls until she came out. She said, once she got to the podium, that at first she thought my calling to her with the news of her prize was someone’s version of a “bad joke.” It wasn’t.

Maybe Christine doesn’t even remember me, but I feel very proud of my persistence even if I was a little loud. I intend to introduce myself properly to her at our next press conference. Sometimes it is necessary to take “desperate measures.”
