it appears that Kookie has some issues.....................
Edd Byrnes threatened to sue actor Edward Burns if he did not change his professional name. Unlike Edd Byrnes, however, that is Edward Burns' actual birth name. Byrnes has spent his recent years travelling, selling autographed pictures at car shows. Recent reports cite that because of rude and unprofessional behavior toward fans, car enthusiasts, and his charging above-average rates for his autographed pictures, many car shows have banned Mr. Byrnes. In fact, the president of Kustom Kemps Of America vowed never to use Edd Byrnes again at any of his car shows because of Mr. Byrnes’s unacceptable behavior and high rates. Several sources state that on October 25, 2007 at the Blast With The Past car show in Denison, Texas, that Edd Byrnes started yelling obscenities at a little girl and her father for videotaping in his direction. Mr. Byrnes claimed that he “did not want people coming around recording him and his pictures for free, (without paying him) and then making movies about him”. It was reported that Edd Byrnes made the child cry. She had recently seen the movie Grease and had only wanted to meet him. This was reported on local news (CBS and NBC affiliates) KXII and KTEN, as well as the Herald Democrat Newspaper.
I see now why many sources fail to mention his birthday!

Edd Byrnes was never a really big star in my opinion but obviously was overwhelmed with his own self importance. He is lucky that little girl even knew who he was. Recently I overheard a 20 year old male ask "who is John Wayne". So, there you go. He's not the only one that I have recently discovered overcharges for his photos. Guess it all depends on how much the photo is worth to the buyer. I do realize it is expensive to travel to Texas or elsewhere, pay for a booth, eat out etc. etc. so guess the photos help pay expenses.
