Anyone ever rub elbows with a Celebrity? (page 2)

I live in an area where many celebrities have homes and visit.

When I include my sister, My Mom and Me, we have met a ton of people.

In the 70's before Saturday Night Fever hit it big, my sister was in a local stage production with John Travolta (A star because of Welcome Back Kotter). His older sister lived in our town, and was the director. She told me he was a very nice guy.

Back in the mid 80's I met Tristan Rogers. He played Scorpio on the soap General Hospital. This was during the Palm Springs Grand Prix and he was driving in the celebrity race. He didn't have a car, and so my Uncle(who was racing in the Grand Prix) was asked if Tristan could drive his car. Anyway, what a jerk! My uncle introduces me and the moron hardly knowledges me. And here I was a fan for all those years. I guess I didn't gush enough. Creep!

Also at the same race was Perry King. I didn't meet him, but I remember spying his butt while he was talking to a TV reporter

I've seen Shelly Winters and Ozzy Osbourne in the supermarket. I've also seen Alicia Silverstone. I never go up to them though. I figure they would probably want to be left alone.

My Mom has met, well this way years ago, Ali MacGraw and Steve McQueen when they were married. Nice but said Steve had a ton of wrinkles.

She has also met, oh I can't remember his name, the Kung FU guy. Also a creep. When some little kid very sweetly asked for his autograph, the dude goes into a tirade at the poor thing that "he is NOT working right now"!

Now, I remember his name! David Carridine! yuk! poo!

Well, then I had an almost sighting. It was the Rolling Stones. It was 1980. The whole band was vacationing in town staying at a very exclusive resort. One of the employees came into the store I was working out to buy them some "supplies". The guy literally bought every bottle of the very expensive booze the store carried. Plus, he bought a ton of meat because they were going to bar-b-que. Interesting, this resort does not allow children under the age of 16. However, the guy reported that they had a ton of kids with them. Ahh, and they say celebrities dont' get special treatment.

I met baseball player, Don Baylor, back in the early 80's when he played for the Angels. Very nice man, but HUGE!

Oh, I went to high school with Michael Landon's (Little House on the Praire) son, Josh. Just a very normal kid. Tattered jeans and all. He had a major crush on my best friend.

Oh, back in the late 70's, my husband's family had Eddie Money (the rock star) over for dinner. My husband's Father was a stockbroker and was trying to get him as a client.

There's more, but that is all I can remember right now.

Andee

Meet Jason Newstead (the ex-Metallica bass player) when I did an installation at his house. Dude was way COOL! He had all the concert speakers and stuff in his garage and had a full blown recording studio! I was blown away! (Well then again I am a big Metallica fan!)

Beautifulgarbage, is it cool to ask on the forum what community? If not e-mail me.

I have fam in the P.S. district. Also you may be a neighbor of someone

I know who isn't a baptized JW but has studied off and on for many years

and goes to the memorial every year. She lives near ( initals) S.B.'s mom. he's dead now. crashed into a tree.

I drove for a lot of celebrities, if you want to call that rubbing elbows. I've met quite a few.

And partied a couple times with some almost forgotten celebs.

We could swap some stories I won't talk about them on a public forum.
