OUR SUPERMARKET ENCOUNTER WITH LUKE PERRY
Shocking to hear that BH90210 heartthrob Luke Perry, 52, suffered a “massive stroke!” He seems way too young and healthy. We had a delightful and unexpected encounter with the actor around twelve years ago. We were shopping at Ralph’s on 3rd St and walked away from our shopping cart to browse the produce department. When we returned we found a distracted looking man in a baseball cap and sunglasses dropping items in OUR cart. (Understandable – we grab the wrong cart sometimes too) We joked “are you sure you want all those Lean Cuisines?” He looked startled and laughed as he removed his stuff and we realized it was Luke Perry! He was very sweet and it was a fun supermarket memory.

We were shopping at Ralph’s market on 3rd and La Brea today and, as is our habit, we parked the cart in a central store location and ran up and down the aisles grabbing necessities. When we reurned to deposit some paper items into the cart – it was gone! Puzzled, we looked around and saw a cute guy pushing the cart and tossing some corn in. We scooted up beside him and said “Excuse me- don’t you have the WRONG cart? – these aren’t your Lean Cuisines, are they?” He immediately apologized, saying “Sorry- I’m too distracted.” That’s when we realized it was Luke Perry. His hair is longer and he looks better than he ever did on 90210. (Don’t judge by this photo – it is not flattering.) We watched him stocking up on staples – fruits veggies, bread, etc like a real family man. He loaded it all into his black Chrysler SUV and didn’t forget to return the cart.
