Well, you found me out Gilbert! The truth is actually closer to fiction. I had Ken Denny attend Le Cirque in my place and impersonate me so I wouldn't have to spend the airfare to get from Los Angeles to Greensboro, North Carolina, and as you mentioned, Ken could attend without controversy.
Figured no one would be the wiser, since Ken and I have never been seen in the same room at the same time. Of course the thing that spoiled it was the presence of the second impersonator introducing himself as Meyer Lenore! Pandemonium ensued...
While I am 57 years of age, the actual reason for my seemingly youthful appearance is the well know and documented pickeling effects of the pervasive noxious atmosphere that perpetually blankets the whole Southern California region. Besides creating those beautiful SoCal sunsets everyday, the ever-present, eye stinging, cough inducing smog retards that aging process of the human body. Who would have guessed!?!?!?
