Are you grateful for that?

Oh, very, very.

Yes, very.

And leaving from Hawaii to Los Angeles, they found a man who was a movie producer.

I've forgotten his name, but that obviously, I don't know, must have known.

I loved movies and they put him next to me and so we were able to sort of chat about movies all the way.

You know, that was a help.

Was the flight from Los Angeles any easier?

Terrifying.

That was the worst of it.

They put me in a hotel.

I had something like eight hours between flights and the flight from Los Angeles to Houston left oddly at two o'clock in the morning and they put me in a hotel room where I kind of collapsed.

I cried for the first time and I became immobile.

I couldn't move.

I had to ring...

down to the desk and a bellboy came up with someone from Pan Am and they had to literally carry me out of the airport hotel and to a cafe near the departure desk in the middle of the night where again I sat and again this immobility took over.

And then I was on a terrible flight.

It must have been the oldest plane in the Pan Am fleet

Leaving at 2 o'clock in the morning.

I subsequently understand that must have been a ghost flight.
