(55,317 posts)I met James Garner when I was an extra in a movie, the horrible, Tank, my brother and I were extras. We walked up to him in his car. we introduced ourselves, and by our last name, he knew who we were, and asked if our mom and dad (used their names) were going to be on set. He was a VERY nice man! I also met C. Thomas Howell, Tommy. He was sweet. And, also met Shirley Jones, who was a lovely woman.
Saw Mark Harmon at a bar in SC. Total asshole.
Saw John Waters in NOLA, followed him into a bar. Didn't get to talk to him because he was mobbed.
Met a few gay porn stars at the bar where I worked. All were very nice.
Saw a few "stars" in a movie scene shot out of the bar I mentioned above.
The funniest...I was walking home from shopping in the French Quarter, and saw a waifish woman in a hooddie walk by me. I smiled and said "hello". She smiled back, said "hello. pretty day, isn't it?" I replied, "it is. Have a great day!" She said "you too!" All of the sudden I saw people coming at me, which freaked me out...I thought there was a fire or something. One person stopped me, and said, "What was she like?!" I said, "She was sweet and polite. Why?" Turns out, it was Angelina Jolie!
Two days, later, saw Brad Pitt in the park. Didn't talk to him as he was with his kids. And, same day, Saw Jason Satham in a bar.
Oh New Orleans, how I miss you!
