FanExpo returns to Chicago August 15-17. Of course, I will be "On the Beat" all weekend.
I was never a huge fan of Roseanne, but I did appreciate the work of the actors. One of my favorites was Chicago-area gal Laurie Metcalf.
Winner of numerous awards, Metcalf has an impressive resume of stage and screen credits. I had forgotten about some of her earlier roles in films including Uncle Buck and Pacific Heights.
Last year, I had the opportunity to meet Metcalf. At 60, Metcalf looked great. She was in lively spirits and seemed happy to be meeting fans. Of course, in those situations, there isn't a lot of time for talk, but we did chat a bit about some Chicago stuff.
This year, FanExpo has another packed guest lineup. Ewan McGregor, Orlando Bloom and John Cena lead the list, but there are a lot more celebs and even more creative folks in Artist Alley.
Laurie Metcalf and me in Rosemont, IL-August 2024.

Great actress ...
She has aged really well. She looks just like I remember her on Roseanne back in the 90's.
