Have you ever met anyone famous?  |
| |
| Due to a great diversity in careers, I've met quite a few celebs, and wonder - who is the most famous celeb you've ever encountered? And, where they all you hoped, a disappointment, or just damn awful? (Please do not choose politicians, because - 1/ I'd like this to be a civil discussion [not a Bush/Clinton/Blair bashing], & 2/ They're always meeting the public, to suck up at election time) For UK people, I met Jools Holland, before his tv career, but after Squeeze. I was DJing a function in Durham, and he was compere. He would come on stage between the acts, just a stool & keyboard, take requests for songs, then requests for a 'style' in which to perform to song. Though, very short of stature, his presence and ability were immense, and he was incredibly polite and cheery, too. For the rest of the world, it was Bobby Womack, and he was 4 hours late, and very grumpy - though, to be fair, the 2 may have been related! What are your experiences? | | | | | |

| | I can go one better than that. { I think} Michelle Pfeiffer, lived directly behind my Mother's house. She actually grew up in 'MIDWAY CITY'--NOT Huntington Beach, like she has told everyone. She was ALWAY'S a 'Nose in the air,I'm better than you' type of person. She went to "Fountain Valley H.S.", & Only the guys liked her, she had no girls for friends. & my brother was the first to... yeah u can guess. He said he didn't think much of her, she was too easy. She is so fake, nothing in her 'Bio' is true. | | | | | | |

| | Great response - bitchy, incisive and about a real celeb. You are definitely getting a positive rating, though it's too early for a best answer, yet. | | | |

| | I've met a few. My father was a semi-successful musician while I was growing up (folk mostly) and I met many artists involved in that industry, like Gordon Lightfoot, who is an absolute sweetheart of a man, Neil Young (eccentric, but nice), and Burton Cummings (who I have zero respect for and dislike immensely as an individual). Amanda Marshall, who years ago was one of my favorite vocalists and admired completely, played here a few years ago and my fathers group was lucky enough to be opening for her. He invited me along, knowing how much I enjoyed her music, and I was incredibly disappointed. She was rude, snotty and all around obnoxious. Unfortunately, very much so one of those celebrities who feels entitled to her fame, and thinks it makes her better than the rest. It's unfortunate her personality didn't equel her public profile. | | | | | | |

| | My partner, Ema, is a real folk fan, mostly English but also US. There's certainly some great names in there, and I personally am well pleased to know that Neil Young is eccentric. There's far too little eccentricity in the world, nowadays! Thanks. | | | |

| | I really do not have any intention of meeting some celebrities and getting excited. till now, i have never thought that i should meet any celebrities. I will have fun when i watch them. I just forget it then and there itself. But i always loved to meet mother theresa and people in the village who are multi talented, but not known to this world. I will never meet any celebrity. That is for sure. Even if i get a chance, i say hi and go on with my activity. i dont rush towards them and ask some autographs or anything. i know it sounds wierd. But i like the way i am. LOL. | | | | | | |

| | Good on you, I don't really think the cult of celebrity is so wonderful, hence, my asking about what they were really like. There are a great many wonderful, entertaining, decent people who are well worth knowing, but who are not famous. 1 of my idols was an uncle, who was so left wing, he used redundancy money to holiday in Russia at the height of the Cold War. All his family were right wing, and I thought this showed great individualirt. He was also a great family man. I think you're right to feel happy with the way you are, contentment is a blessing. Good luck and thanks for the response. | | | |

| | My Mum really had a crush on Dirk Bogarde, but when she found out he was gay, and therefore unattainable, she turned to Sidney Poitiers films instead. She would have been really jealous of you, and its nice to see that a real star can still be civil and polite. A bit congrats to Sidney, and to you. | | | |

| | Sometimes it isn't the size of the role that is the statiure of the man, its the man himself. And you got to share a dance, on ice. That sounds quite romantic, even if you were just little then. Thanks. | | | |

| | I was lucky enough several years ago to meet Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. We were at Tampa Airport waiting to pick up a friend. We were in the one bar area where you could still smoke when he and his wife came in there to eat. They were both very nice and it was a thrill to meet them. He didn't look that good, you could tell he'd been ill recently. It was a thrill to meet them both. | | | | | | |

| | I know, a smug, arrogant, condescending Englishman like myself, actually giving an apology! What next, will the sky fall in, Armageddon, Ragnarock? No, it'll just pass, and I'll return to judgmental, self-satisfied, egotistical self. | | | |

| | The wistful, far-away look in your avatars eye fits your comment perfectly. He is possibly the greatest motorcyclist of the generation (I hope I've got the right Mr Rossi?!), and certainly has a fun and cheeky side to him, from what I've seen on the telly. Thanks. | | | |

| | I've never met anyone famous but I have seen plenty of them either at school (I go to UCLA and I see the athletes all the time) or at sporting events (I've been to plenty of pro games and seen people up close). I've never met anyone even close to famous but if I had to pick I'd say Sharon Graves who was/is (I'm not even sure) the weather person for the local news station (San Luis Obispo, CA for anyone that cares). | | | | | | |

| | A local celeb is still a celeb, and it sounds as if some of those sporty folk may become famous. Try to get the dirt on them now, just in case they do make it in the big time. You never know when you might need a good tight-end, to help push your car, or an athlete to nip to the shops for your pint of milk! Thanks, and good luck with education. | | | |
