Outtakes: How We First Met (Video)

Dating stories are always interesting. But they're especially interesting when you have an improv troupe acting out each scene.

How We First Met - Clinton and Loni Stark

When was the first time you met your significant other?

Were you set up on a blind date? Were you seated next to each other on an international flight? Did you get stuck in an elevator together? Did your heel get caught on the street and a dashing rogue swooped in to save you from an oncoming truck?

To see your life as theater is an unforgettable, and entertaining experience.

I had the chance to share my story, how Clint and I first met. On camera. For Stark Insider TV, no less.

And he had a chance, making a rare appearance on camera, to explain why he had two choices on a foggy day across from the Golden Gate Bridge: (1) to propose to me; or (2) kick me plummeting Hitchcock style off the cliff into the Pacific.

Dating stories are always interesting. But they’re especially interesting when you have an improv troupe acting out each scene. That was the case recently as we met up with the cast of How We First Met. The improv show hits Marine’s Memorial Theater in San Francisco, on–you guessed it!–Valentine’s Day. As Clint and I told our story of how we first met, director Jill Bourque’s incredibly talented cast acted out each scene. To see your life as theater is an unforgettable, and entertaining experience.

Here’s some outtakes from the interview we shot at the Palace of Fine Arts. Watch for the full “story” coming very soon.

Love. Ain’t it grand?!
