I had a short series of interactions with Max back in the early 90s I think it was; I was working on a research project on biracial children, and went to a kind of annual picnic at Griffith Park for multiracial couples and their offspring. Real informal, everyone very laid back - I was there with some friends. Some people heard what I was doing and were kind of turned off, others wanted to learn all about it - Max was one of those. We talked for a good while about my project, he could not have been nicer and more helpful and even enthusiastic, and then my professional facade busted and I did about 10 minutes fan-boying about BM. Again, he could not have been nicer, then told me a little about what he was working on then, I think it was a play or film of some kind. He told me he would contact me later with some follow up information about my project, which he did, and then we had one more short conversation about it. No surprise, but what he had in common with Wojo was the intense decency; what was different was how intelligent and articulate and well educated he was. Growing up in Los Angeles I had a lot of contacts with TV and film stars - this was way up near the top of just how enjoyable and genuine it was.
