In Person

SOOO glad to hear that Dolph Lundgren has survived lung cancer after 8 years of treatment! He certainly didn’t look ill when I saw him a few years ago in Gelsen’s supermarket in West Hollywood. I was browsing in the produce department and saw the back of an extremely tall muscular man examining apples. Eventually he turned around, and I recognized Dolph Lundgren. Seeing him reminded me of all the hilarious druggy adventures I wrote about him and then-girlfriend Grace Jones back in the 80’s. (for Star Magazine) Dolph was just a bouncer at Limelight and SHE was the star at that time. I approached Dolph at Gelsens and introduced myself and he couldn’t have been nicer. We reminisced about those wild times and I told him how lucky he was that Sly Stallone, who was VERY sensitive about his height in those days, hired him, at 6’5″, as a Rocky costar, which launched his career. He IS a big blonde muscleman, but Dolph also seems to be a super nice and modest guy–
