One of the most asked questions I get is "Where can I go in Los Angeles to see stars?" If you are a patient person, there are numerous spots from shopping centers to the Farmer's Market. But there are no assurances.

The best place if you want to be guaranteed to see a bunch of television and film stars is a quarterly event held at the Burbank Airport Marriott Hotel & Convention Center. It is an event full of celebrities. Granted, many of the participants are stars you probably thought were dead. But they still qualify as celebrities.

This event is the Hollywood Collectors & Celebrities Show. The most recent one was held this past weekend. The next one is scheduled for February 14 and 15. If you have ever wanted to see stars, put those dates on your calendar.

The event features a host of dealers who sell everything from models of the Seaview from "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" to posters for silent movies. One dealer was selling a sketch by Charles Schulz for $1,250. Another offered black-and-white photos from older movies for $1 apiece.

That stuff is fun. But it the celebrities that make these shows worth attending. It is always the strangest cross-section of celebrities you can imagine. Take this last show. Just inside the door, veteran actress Jane Russell signed autographs across from Micky Dolenz of The Monkees.

Fans of the series "Spin City" could chat with Barry Bostwick, Michael Boatman and Alan Ruck. While Ruck seemed the most excited about being at the event, Bostwick looked a little bored.

Of course money will kill boredom. And there is a lot of money to be made by the celebrities. Autographs range in price from $15 to $40. It all depends on the star's status. "Lost in Space" star Mark Goddard signs for less than "Dynasty" star Linda Evans. Veteran actor Leslie Nielsen was signing photos as fast as his fingers could move.

Some people find the act of selling an autograph as offensive. There are a lot of participants who worked in television so long ago they no longer get any money from the shows. So why shouldn't "Leave It To Beaver" star Tony Dow be able to earn a few bucks?

And you don't have to buy anything. For the price of admission, you can just wander around looking to see who has aged the best. In that area, this time it was "Robocop" star Nancy Allen. Although she is 58, Allen looks as young as the days she was starring in the action films.

It is fun to wander up and down the aisles of celebrities and see scream queen Sybil Danning seated only a few steps away from "Lost in Space" star Bob May. Many of you probably never have seen June Foray or Bill Farmer. But they are voice talents for everything from "Goof Troop" to "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show."

Didn't you ever wonder what happened to Donna Pescow, Cynthia Gibb, Ron Harper, Tommy Kirk, Heather Langenkamp or Jamie Luner? There was a time when they all got attention for their work in TV and films.

So if you want a fun time star gazing, the Collectors Show is the place.
