That's right. I attended HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnatti, and met her and lots of other horror icons. I didn't know much about her except that she starred in The Stepfather and once dated Brad Pitt. Read a little about her, and apparently she still has quite a following. Understandable, as she has the looks and personality of an angel, still to this day. She seems pretty wonderful.
I am glad people are saying that she is still beautiful, because while we were talking, she told me that she has had people, who didn't realize who she was at first, say things to her like, "But you were so pretty back then," or "You aren't her, that girl was pretty" after she told them who she was. Isn't it amazing that there are people like that? I told her I thought she is still beautiful, and that I would much prefer her to who Brad Pitt is with now. (EEEKK!!)
Before she left I got a very affectionate hug from her. How cool is that? Good to know not everyone in Hollywood is a crazy, stuck-up snob. -

Hey Jason, You Lucky Man! Seems like Caroline Williams and Meg Foster and Malcolm McDowell amongst others were also there. I am surprised people have said such horrible things to Jill Schoelen. She is like the Beatles to me! A true beauty of a megastar and an astounding actress and singer. You are very lucky sir to have met her.

Films are not reality. Reality is not film. Film is only an approximation of reality. -

I just met her at HorrorHound weekend in Cinci too. Funny you should mention The Beatles, because Jill was wearing a black Beatles shirt when I met her last Saturday. She was just beautiful and so nice. I just got my pics back tonite from the show. She looks great!

I do feel very lucky to have met her, and all the other actors that I have met at conventions in the past couple of years. But, sometimes I don't feel so lucky at all. Let me explain what I mean.
This girl dated Brad Pitt years ago, and almost married him. I don't know why they split up, but what really messes with my psyche is thinking, "If she and I were the same age, would a girl like her have went out with a guy like me?" I don't know, but doubtful. It is true what they say: reality oftentimes bites.
Life just seems so cruel and unfair sometimes, and there is really only so much you can do about that. Going to these horror conventions really lifts me up, but sometimes brings me down. I cannot help but wonder if people like her or Brad Pitt realize how lucky they are, or what they really think of us "ordinary" people.
Anyway, sorry for the ego-trip. I just wanted to speak (or write) my mind, because it helps me with my depression stages, which I do go through when I realize that, for me, a dream-girl like Jill will likely only be just that; a dream.
I do have a girlfriend who is wonderful and loves me the way I am, I just have always had a problem with my ego and insecurity. Probably comes from years of ridicule. I wouldn't want trade her for anybody.
I also want to say that I do realize that these people are probably not all that they are cracked-up to be, and that there are millions of people in the world who have it a lot worse than I do. But hey, I am only human. That is my reaction to the people who say I am lucky to have met. I am, but I don't always feel that way. So, in closing, just let me say, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Thanks, I feel a little bit better.
