Matthew Broderick and Bonus Celebrity


Two celebrities in one shot!

There's Matthew Broderick, eternally boyish star of stage and screen.

And of course on the right is Arthur Slovmayer, world-famous founder of Slovmayer Novelties, maker of the wildly popular hat and fake beard combo that put the classic fake nose and glasses out of business.  

When Matthew heard that Arthur was going to be on the Late Show, he loitered on 53rd Street in hopes of greeting his idol.  This photo, taken seconds after they met, shows Matthew excitedly describing the encounter to a fellow Slov-head as Slovmayer graciously gives an autograph to another fan.

Maybe someday Matthew will be big enough to merit his very own entry.

  1. Is this the same Arthur Slovmayer that invented the beer guzzler helmet?

    1. No, different guy. Common name. Though he did invent the hat/fake beard after enjoying several beers guzzled from a helmet.

    1. Word on the street is he and SJP are buying a couple of townhouses in Brooklyn. Maybe he's getting a ride to the subway station.

  3. Is that Arthur Slovmayer, or did the gum learn to walk?
