It happened 30 years ago -- in Annie Hall. Woody Allen goes to LA to pursue Annie Hall, and he's like a fish out of water. At a fancy party, Jeff Goldblum makes his debut in a cameo role as he frantically calls his guru: "Hello? I forgot my mantra!"

ooops, a slight mistake. according to IMDB his breakthrough was in 1974 at age 22 , playing "Freak #1" in DeathWish and in 1975's Nashville he played Tricycle Man. But Annie Hall did win an Oscar.

I was on line at for Shakespeare in the Park in 1990 and Jeff Goldblum came on to my date, while I was picking up sandwiches. He's tall.
