Celebrity encounters (continued)
UltimateHB
I wrote this message several days ago in response to the "Close Encounters
of the Dave Kind" thread, but an error occured while posting, so here it
is again:
I haven't met many celebrities, but my brother, who graduated from NYU in
'95, was good friends with Jerry O'Connel (the guy starring in Joe's
Apartment and he's on that show Sliders). They were both on NYU's fencing
team. Once, Jerry actually called our house, wanting to talk to Ian (my
bro)!!! You can imagine my surprise. A few months later, I got to meet
him, when my parents and I came up to NY to see one of Ian's fencing
tournaments. Jerry sauntered into the gym, and my mom poked me and said,
"Heather, look who's here!" My brother introduced us, and the three of us
were talking and joking around. Jerry mentioned the phone call he made to
our house, and my brother was like, "What?!? What the hell are you doing
calling my sister?" :) It was funny. Now, my friend Shirily is totally
in love with this guy, and she's like, "Heather! Ask your brother for
Jerry's phone number or something! Anything!" Unfortunately, I don't
think Ian and Jerry are in touch anymore. Oh well.

Wait a second. So you aren't the sister of The Baldwin Brothers,
sister-in-law to Kim Basinger and that blonde actress from "Homicide"?
Oh, *man*. I am crushed.

How about celebrity encounters that I never had but my stupid friends had?
When I was in the sixth grade my non-friend Amy and some bitches cut
school after lunch to go down to the tram and watch Billy Crystal film the
tram scene in City Slickers (he winked at them or something) and I was mad
because they didn't get detention or anything for coming back to school
half an hour late, grr. And my grandmother used to double-date with Zero
Mostel, but I betcha don't even know who he is, well too bad, because I
love The Producers. <g>
NuttyBunny2
Heather that's very neat, unfortunately "My Secret Identity" scarred me
for life so I can't help thinking about Jerry O'Connell without picturing
him flying around his house.
As far as celebrity encounters (you mean besides meeting all the KITH?
Hee hee, shameless brag ;), besides meeting Tyler and Ed from BNL, my
mother and her little friends attacked Lou Diamond Phillips and my mom
wouldn't let me touch the autograph, she kept it in her purse. This was
La Bamba time so I guess he was a big deal but even then I was kept
telling her "Mom, come on it's Lou Diamond Phillips..he's not God.)
My mom went to school with Randy Bachman (he was good looking back then!)
and my Dad went to school with and is still friends with the two guys
from the Royal Canadian Air Farce. Rob Reiner and some other famous lady
(sorry I didn't recognize the name so I fogot it) asked my Dad to have
lunch with them a couple months ago when he was in New York.
As for celebrity non-encounter but cool things: Tom Hanks, Goldie Hawn,
Kurt Russel, Martin Short and someothers I think, all have cottages close
to mine. Some of my neighbours have talked to them but I personally have
never seen them when I have been at the cottage.

I've got some pretty lame stories to tell--when I was littler, they filmed
the end scene, with the drag racers, from Back to the Future 3, in my
neighborhood so I got to watch that and see them....my aunt used to work
for the Hoagn Family and Full House so I met Jason Bateman, Bob Saget,
Dave Coulier, Andrea Barber, Robert Zemeckis, and that guy Skippy from
Family Ties. My uncle worked for the Wonder years so I met Fred Savage,
Dan Lauria, the older brother what's his name....I go to LA often so I
have seen but not met Shelley Long, the guy from dream on and Laverne and
shirley and Clue, (I don't know his name,either Lenny or Squiggy), the dad
from the nanny, and Amy Irving. I think I saw Don Johnson at Home Depot
but this is unconfirmed..:-). As for I-know-someone-who-knows someone?
My uncle is *in the biz* now, so he's got a long list of people he's met
with. Does that count at all? It shouldn't. Oh, at a party, Matt
LeBlanc flirted with my aunt. :-)
Of course, my uncle has never had any contact with anything KITHy. My
luck.

Hmm...that reminds me. I DO know another celebrity, sort of. Larry
Lalonde, the guitarist from Primus, went to my high school. He was in my
P.E. class, and my sister was good friends with him.
Apparently members of the band Green Day also went to my high school.
But they were probably freshmen when I was a senior, which ought to
explain why I never associated with them. I don't much care for their
music, anyway.

I agree-he's gotten pretty cute. I saw something that was years old,
prob'ly, but he was older--a boat movie about scuba divers, with that

Hi!
Well, I wasn't going to admit this uh, in public, but I will. The only
famous person I've ever met face to face and talked to was Davy Jones from
the Monkees.
Back in 1988, he was doing a book-signing tour, and he came to a mall
about 45 minutes from the town I grew up in. So my friends and I went and
waited in line for hours and talked to him for like, one minute each. It
was pretty cool to my little 14 year old self--I shook his hand and told
him how much I liked the Monkees, and he looked me right in the eye and
said, "Well, thank you, love!" My little 14 year old knees nearly
buckled..... ahhh the memories...
Oh yeah--and I shook hands with Gilligan, The Professor, and Maryanne once
(all from Gilligan's Island, in case you weren't sure.) They were also at
a mall very near my house once.
Ok, the end!

Oh gawd, he was probably the same guy who used to have sex with all the
female concellors outside my cabin when I went to camp. As you may have
guessed there was a guy who looked *exactly* like Skippy who shattered my
image of Family Ties by doing it with my councellors in front of my tiny
8 year old eyes.

and when she came out the model rolled her eyes at her because apparently
Becky had made her wait. Hee hee!

Oh, I thought of another, kinda embarrassing one. (Apparently all of my
celebrity encounters are embarrassing, eh Dave?) Last February when I was
in France, EuroDisney to be exact, we were leaving the park and we found
out Michael Jackson was staying at the Disneyland Hotel, so we joined the
screaming crowd outside singing Michael Jackson songs (only we sang
obscure ones...songs from The Wiz and that one from Free To Be, You and
Me...) (btw I love the Wiz so shut up I'm Tavie dammit) until we were
"gently escorted" out by Disney employees. (Cast members my ass.) But
then, we got to go into the Disneyland Hotel to meet my parents for dinner
(believe me it was hard to convince the security people that we had
business being there) and then, right outside the restaurant was this
balcony where Michael's room was and we saw him walking by with his
entourage. (sp?) He was wearing a weird black mask, and one of those
freaky red shirts. We got a picture, but you can't tell it's him 'cause
he's in silloutette.
The embarrassing part, of course, was us joining the screaming crowd.

Oh my GOD!!! I totally forgot about "Free To Be, You And Me"! We used
to listen to that in our second grade class! I don't remember the Michael
Jackson song. In fact, I only really remember the title song and the

He was a celebrity? I didn't even know. I remember in junior-high, the

Celebrity encounters...hmmm....
I was in a play with Jobeth Williams once.
I punched Gilbert Gottfried on the arm , but very lightly, and I asked him
if I could before I did. He still *whined* about it, though.
One afternoon I had a staring contest with Robert Plant. Ok, I completely
spaced and didn't realize it was him. I think he was being polite and
allowing me to approach him for an autograph, but I was putting on my coat
and wondering why this odd looking guy was staring at me. (Cuz I'm
clueless.)
My favorite encounter was meeting Bruce McCulloch, though. I had *no* idea
what to say to him, and the first thing out of my mouth was, "Oh,
Bruce...you're TALL!"
Maybe this thread should be "Embarrassing moments in front of
Celebrities". Sheesh.

I haven't very many celebrity encounters. I met Paul Westerberg, which
is the highlight of my life so far. (I'm now envisioning a bunch of
people getting confused looks, saying, "who?") I also met all the guys
in Toad The Wet Sprocket. None of them were particularly embarrassing
though, thank God!

Geez, I have absolutely no celebrity encounters under my belt! The closest
and of my friends of I have come to meeting a celebrity is when my friend
Mary got Craig's (you know, that guy who hands the Frugal Gourmet pots and
occasionally chops up stuff) autograph at a grand opening of a local
Stop n' Shop.
A small C celebrity, but a celebrity none the less!
Okay, maybe he;'s not a celebrity at all, but I still think it's funny! : D

Ya wanna hear about a somewhat embarrasing celebrity moment? A KITH
moment no less, my beloved friend Shannon (thank God she can't read this)
asked Bruce how to say his last name...and in true irony, if there was
any doubt as to how it was pronounced we then heard it pronouced about 3
times that day.
He was perfectly nice about it he said "McCulloch, and Bruce."
And then a few days later she asked Scott Thompson if he remembered her,
which of course he didn't.
Needless to say Alison and I were sinking in our little boots.
Oh well, Alison did tell Mark McKinney "my mother drove us to the GO
station to meet you." But at least that isn't putting him on the spot
like Shannon is oh, so good at.

Oh wow what a neat-o thread. Well *my* claim to fame is that I know 2
(count 'em) 2 cast memebers of (oh this is soooo amazing!) Ghostwriter!
Cool ain't it? As you can tell I'm being sarcastic. Actually I hate one of
them (ALOT) she went to my crap ass school this past year and she was the
biggest bitch I had ever met. The other one I met while I was at camp. She
was only on for about 3 or 4 episodes, as one of their evil enemies. She's
really nice though, she's not really one of my better friends though, I
just never got to know her. She a really good actress, she should have
replaced the other one I was just talking about because as alot of my
friends had said when I showed them my video from Theatre Arts 1 "She was
the WORST one!" I thought that was really funny.
I DIDN"T get to meet Steve Martin last year while passing him by on the
Vassar campus while he was there doing his play at the lovely Powerhouse
theatre I tried to like act casual or something- it's a neat-o story
though. I was walking from class to class with my
entertainmently-challenged "friend" Deb and I saw a guy w/ white hair pass
by and 2 girls sitting at a bench giggling. So I put 2 and 2 together (and
got 4) and said to Deb, that must be Steve Martin. Without a second
thought I went into the building walked upstairs and then woke up out of
my, "it's no big deal phase" and hit my head against the wall. It really
was him, as those giggly girls had said. He smiled at them as he walked
past. If I were them I would have said something to him don't you think?
Ya, I think. The year before that everyone that I knew (cept me) got Ethan
Hawkes autograph. I didn't really care to though anyway, but you know,
that could also mean I was just bitter from being the only one who never
even saw him.
Oh one of my friend's dad is Ron Howard but I never talked to him, I was
just to starstruck for that one and I also didn't want to act like a fool
in front of my friend, since it's obviously no big deal to her, you know
what I mean? Silly me. But I can't lie about it. It is rather disgusting
though ain't it? If I got to see her more often it would be a lot easier
for me but once a year and letters isn't such. (that makes no sense but I
don't care.)
Oh and lastly did anyone see Indian in a Cupboard or whatever the stupid
name of the movie is? Well I never did, but my good friend Chris is in it.
whoopidy doo. He played the bully who beat up the stupid little kid just
after he bought the indian. I think that's kinda cool.
Someone mentioned Lou Diamond Phillips before, I met him in the city when
he was going into the theatre for the King and I, he's really nice I
guess, only talked to him for like 5 minutes or less, we were all in a
hurry, he had to get ready for his play and we were going to see one
ourselves (I think it was Noise/Funk)
I also met Bob from Sesame Street. Woohoo. He always scared me though so I
didn't really give a crap.
OK, now I could get really obscure and tell y'all that my cousin's
godfather is Sly Stallone but I hate him anyway so what does it matter? Oh
and my friend has stepped on Glen Close's shoe in her local Blockbuster
video. (we're on the phone, she wanted me to add that...) Oh, and many of
the NBC4 news personalities live in her town, but she has yet to see Matt
Lauer to her own misfortune.
I've SEEN many a celeb on the streets of NY, none that I was really
interested in meeting though. I also got to (oo oo <s>) touch Meryl
Streeps [specially sprayed for posterity] lip prints on the Vassar wall of
lip prints backstage in Avery Hall where she gave a lecture the week
before I got up on stage and said my (wowy) SEVEN whole lines!
That's ENOUGH!
Well there's only a couple people here I'm actually impressed by, the rest
are friends (or enemies) I was just thinking how weird it is that we (or
me I dunno) are intimidated by people just because they're "famous" ....

I've thought that, too, and the more I thought about it, the less
impressed I grew with celebrity status. For example, meeting (oh, say)
Kevin Costner would *not* be a big deal for me because I think he's a
sucky actor (no offense meant to anyone who disagrees, of course);
however, meeting Terry Gilliam would be the highlight of my life, not
because he's famous, but because he's Terry Gilliam fergodsake! It would
probably kill me.

LOL! Erin! One of the Ghostwriter kids used to go to my school! We used to
sit around and watch the show and laugh at him. <g>
Also when I went to see "Having our Say" Bill Cosby was hanging around in
the back of the theatre the whole time and I walked as close as I could
past him sevaral times just to see if he wouldn't get creeped out (he
didn't <g>).
You met BOB FROM SESAME STREET?? That's so cool, though actually I met
him to when I was like 8 my dad and I used to go to all these Young
People's Concerts at Lincoln Center and Bob was always MC at them. Though
of course my favorite Sesame Street human is GORDON! GORDON! GORDON! I
love Gordon!!!

I wouldn't know how to explain *why* people are intimidated by famous people
because I couldn't explain why I blushed when I met one of those Nelson
twins. I guess it's just because you realize that society makes a big
deal about this person and it's a learned behavior of sorts. But that still
doesn't explain my reaction to that Nelson Twin . . .hmmmm...

Well, I wouldn't be intimidated by a celebrity that I didn't, y'know, like
or admire or anything. God am I ineloquent. What I mean is-- you know, I
was *so* intimidated by Dave because he is my *favorite* celebrity and I
just adore him. I would be only *slightly* less intimidated by the rest of
the Kids, and I wouldn't be intimidated at *all* if I met someone like,
say, a Baywatch dude or dudette. KnowhatImean?

Yes, exactly! Just like if I saw Paul Abdul walking by me I would just
keep on going (yes, this actually happened), but if someone like Bill
Murray walked by I would probably implode on the spot (no, this has not
happened).

Yeah, this is a fun thing, let's keep this going:
If I saw, say, Tiffani-Amber Theissen on the street I'd run in the
opposite direction. But if I saw, like, Jeff Goldblum, I'd probably wet my
pants. <g>
Or if I saw, like, Tom Arnold on the street, I'd walk on by, but if I saw
Tim Curry I'd have a heart attack.

She's BAAAAACK! Hi everyone! So cool that this was my first thread to read
upon resurfacing on aol (excuse: I've been *so* stressed out by my job, I
have not had the energy at night to 'net-surf! this is *true*! I'm gettin'
old, kids....)
Here's my celebrity encounter list. Keep in mind, growing up in NYC
helped:
Jack Gilford (Cracker Jacks TV ad man, circa 1970)
Marian McPartland (jazz musician, good friend of my mom's)
Lotte Lenya (my mom was in the B'way show 'Cabaret' throughout its run,
hence all these theater types!)
Joel Grey (used to play backstage at the theater with his daughter
Jennifer--who knew?!)
Grady Tate (the "I Got Six" singer from "Multiplication Rock"--that's
kinda MY "FTBYAM", Tavie!!)
George Shearing (jazz legend--Mom again)
The Hooters (rock band from Philadelphia)
Lauren-Marie Taylor (used to be on the soap "Loving"--I went to high
school with her. She also got slashed in "Friday the 13th, Part II" and
did an impressive job dying, I thought!)
Howard Nemerov (incredible poet)
3 of the Bay City Rollers (Eric, Woody and Alan, if you know who THEY are)
All of the Kids in the Hall (Boston, MA, December 1994!)
Minor, minor encounters include Brian Setzer, who dripped sweat on me as I
stood at his feet during a Stray Cats show, Henry Winkler (shorter than
Bruce!), and Elvis Costello (shared an elevator with him).
Pretty random celeb-meeting life I'VE led!! I agree with Taves,
though--Tim Curry would set me to utter palpitations. As did Mr. Foley,
whose handshake...ah, you've heard this from me before. But wowser, he's
awesome.

was in radio for awhile and worked at CBS in LA -- and the list is long

Speaking of Mr. Gilliam.. anyone seen 12 Monkeys? WOW! So strange,
sooo cool. But all through the movie, I kept muttering things like
'if he says he'll let the monkeys loose.. he WILL let the monkeys loose.'
and ' these are vicious, mean-spirited monkeys! Like them damn monkeys
from "the Wizard From Oz" !!'
Sorry, know that was off-topic, but it had to be said ;)

I actually went through a stage where I'd THINK I saw Tim Curry
everywhere... and in the most unlikely places (At a Monty Python-fest
at the Legion with my Mom??)

I thought that Tim Curry was pretty hot in that Halloween cable show,
"The Worst Witch" filmed some odd years ago. Of course, when I saw it
first I was about 12 or 13. Then there's always watching him in "Clue".

Tim Curry is *wonderful*! I've always enjoyed watching actors who have
a background in the theatre. They just have a different sort of
_presence_ I guess you could say.....

You know, it's funny, thinking of all the homophobe boys out there who get
squeamish over watching two male Kids kiss...when I was in art school in
NYC, lo these many years ago, we'd go and watch "rocky horror" in a group,
and all these supposedly straight boys would get squirmy over Tim Curry. I
heard from more than one boy that 'I'd turn gay for Tim'.
Imagine the power. It's like a comic book hero. "He leaps straight men in
a single bound.."

Now, as a rule do these actors (those w/theatre background) look FABULOUS
in black net stockings?? Or is it just Mr.Curry?
I love his imperious head-toss in Rocky Horror. And I covet his silver
platforms a-thumping on an elevator floor.
He's rockin!

I think Tim Curry is pretty hot in everything, particularly as the devil
in Legend, even though he was pretty much obscured by paint and latex.
