Worked many times with Mr. Manilow in the early 80’s. But his management would not let us interact with him. We ( the house stage crew ) had to hide when he went on or off stage. Later we found out he was so very nearsighted that he did not want to run into someone he did not know. He could not wear contacts ( hard ones only back then ) and refused to wear glasses.
BTW, the sold-out audiences loved him!
