What famous people have you met?

[SOOOSKA]

You met Dog, what's he like? I watch the show every now and then.

Just like he is on the show, lol. Hiswife gave my brother and I huge hugs after saying, "In Hawaii, wehug!"

Note that was what happened when we first saw her, lol. Kind of surprising.

 

[maherwoman]

I've only met Jane Seymore...she brought hertwins to Disneyland, and we wound up standing next to her during theparade, hehe! She's very sweet, and SO much morepetite in person! (And MUCH shorter than she looked on theshow!)

But...of course, VERY pretty.

My husband did work in Beck's house and has had conversations with himquite a few times. He's also had a conversation with KristieAlley, and met John Travolta as well. Lucky guy!

He's also done work for Patrick Renna, Kevin Spacey, Nancy Cartwright, and a few others.

Only wish I could have tagged along...but how corny is it to bring thewife along because she wants to meet celebrities?? "Hi...haveyou met my wife?" Hehe!!

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

I would so tag you along. ''Hey have you met my ROSIE!?"

:waiting:I'm trying to time how long it takes to say, 'getaway from me you creepy stalker'. I think it's under the 15seconds.

I also get'No comment!' a lot.

Mark Hamill was in a film shot in my home town. Unfortunately, I was away at college.

I still have to watch the movie- my parents own it but my brother hasit. I've heard it's supremely cheesy. It's really,really hard to find because it's so obscure. It's named aftermy hometown, Reeseville.

In the trailer, you can see snips of scenes shot in the local cornergrocery store and the bowling alley that's on the same block as mychildhood home.

Oh, well then I met:

Travis Pastrana and
Monty Roberts

I met Travis at an autograph signing and I had drawn him a picturewhich he though rocked. It was this killer dragon and we had a briefconversation about that.

Monty Roberts I saw at Equine Affaire. I asked if I could give him ahug and hel aughed and said sure. And I got myp hoto taken with him.

boo ya.

[maherwoman]

Hehe!! Okay, truth be told, he didtake me along for a couple places...but only with the agreementthat I would actually WORK and be serious (I get a tad starry-eyed,hehe...not obnoxiously so...but still, a tad).

He knew when he met me and mentioned that he did work at Beck's house,he would HAVE to take me eventually. I've been a HUMONGOUSBeck fan since circa 1993...no, I don't collect posters...but I reallyLOVE his music and have a tremendous amount of respect for his amazingtalent. There's just no one like Beck.

And being in his house...I couldn't help but (quietly) squeal, "HisSHOES!!" when I saw them on the floor next to his bed.Hehe...unfortunately (or maybe to my husband, thankfully) he wasn'tthere at the time, so I never got to actually meet him :grumpy, but itwas such an experience just being in the space where he could havepossibly thought up some of his incredible music...*sigh*

I honestly am not sure what I will say when I meet him (I have highhopes for the future...), except to say that he is quite literallyone-of-a-kind with his musical genius, and is since unmatched in hisphenomenal musical abilities. I liken him with people likeStevie Wonder. I think he's amazing.

And, no, I'm not in it for his looks...but I think he has a talent thatis extremely unique and should be recognized A LOT more.

Anyway, enough babbling...hehe!

i've always promised myself that if I ever meetsomeone that I look up to and admire like that, i'm not goign to babbeland tell the ma million times over what a fan I am and how much Iadmire them.

I'm sure they hear it all the tiem from every person they meet. Whatmakes me any different and more so...what wuold make them want tolisten tot he same thing for the millionth time?

The point is, I never want to be considered just another face inthecrowd, especially to someone I admire like that. I dont' feellike it's much of a meeting if you're in hysterics and they're ignoringyou in the back of their mind.

I can't think of any famous people I'd truly want to meet. I'm surethere's someone I'd like to meet but I just can't think of them. I'dnever want to meet an actor, because they could turn out to be a turd,and because they're always acting when I see them, its impossibel toknow what they're really like. I might get gipped.

Robin Williams winked at me when I was workingat the pretzel place. He had a full beard and was walkingaround and no one noticed him but me. I smiled at him. He winked backat me. Iam not the type to get all star struck, so I justsmiled at himso he would know I knew who he was. Iwasn'tlike, "OHMY GOD!" Pat Moreda(RIP)used to shop at the mall I worked at (both the bookstoreand the pretzel place) I waited on him and just treated him normally.My boss kept staring at him, like when you think you know someone, butyou aren't sure where. He looked at her and said, "Yes, I am." That waswhen she realized it was Mr. Miagi and she turned bright red.:blushan:Tilda Swinton also stopped by, my co-worked made a total foolof herself. Uma Thurman has also stopped in the bookstore with herdaughter who is annoying. I also know Juliya from Uranium, personally.She and I never met in person, but we had quite a few phoneconversations, she even invited me to Brooklyn to get drunk with her.(too bad I don't drink!):yuck

>>Well, I met Shania Twain whenshe came into my partners work to buy some knobs or handles forsomething, she was stunning! Really youthful. She owns some land herein New Zealand. She had a boring car though.>>

Well, my fiance would be very jealous.
Shania is from Timmins Ontario, Canada, which is a small Northern community very close to here.

She is definitely the pride of Northern Ontario!

Hmmm....I've met Loni Anderson (remember her?) when I was in Cali. Imet Kenny Rogers (served him thru McD's drive thru), Jon Bon Jovi (hesang a part of a song to me)...And I grew up with Todd Bertuzzi.
