Steve had a pronounced stutter as a child, but when asked in the sixth grade what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said he wanted to be on TV.
When she saw what Steve had written, she not only thought it was ridiculous, but even went so far as to call up Steve's mother to say he had been a 'smart aleck' at school.
After the cut he reveals the gift he gave to the teacher....
Many years later, after Harvey had found success in the entertainment industry, he still thought about that sixth-grade teacher.
“Every year when the teacher was living, I used to send her a TV for Christmas,” Harvey says. ”’Cause I wanted her to see me.”
