A Five-0 Experience
by Linda
"I moved to Hawaii from New Jersey in 1970 to get married. I lived two blocks from the new Sheraton Waikiki Hotel being built. Since I was looking for work, I went and applied for a job there. They must have like me for I landed the job working in the Hotel laundry located in the basement. One of the machines I operated was one that folded the towels and sheets.
My co-workers and I were all excited one day to learn that Hawaii Five-0 would be coming to film in the Hotel and that the laundry was part of the scene. There was even talk that some of us might be offered jobs as extras for that scene. We were told to go about our duties as the crew moved all around us.
As excited as I was (I was only 20 at the time) I was a bit nervous having them there. Finally, they just started pointing to us one by one. They pointed at me and said, "Okay, you."
Oh, I was crazed with excitement. I couldn't believe it.
"Only people with lines get paid, and there are no lines for you," they told me.
I was like, "who cares, I just want to do it." I couldn't wait to get home to tell my husband and my family back East that I was going to be on TV! How cool is that?
