"I enjoyed Flirting with Fame because Dan is so open and honest about his encounters with celebrities – some very funny, some odd and some even hard to believe – but all told from an 'everyman's' point of view. He quite often found himself in rather bizarre circumstances while interacting with famous people – like having a staring contest with Barbra Streisand, twice; or smoking a joint in silence with Jill Clayburgh in Central Park; or talking with Billy Crystal about Chinese food at Sid Caesar's funeral. Dan successfully encapsulates 50 years of 'celebrity close encounters' into this book, all while serving as a skillful narrator."– Dee Wallace, Actress, Teacher, Healer, Star of E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial
