Aww, shucks, Gunn. *blushes* You make my heart go all pitter-patter.
And Matthew, I totally agree with the Jessica Grove comment. You're preaching to the choir here.
THE WINNER OF THE SWAN DOES NOT LOOK LIKE JESSICA!
i sat 2 seats away from audra mcdonald when i saw little fish. that women has the loudest laugh i have ever heard. it was a little weird going from seeing her in concerts and waiting after for autographs to sitting next to her at a theatre.
carson from queer eye while sitting in the film center cafe. he was on his phone and had lots of shopping bags.
cary sheilds in times square wearing his taboo jacket.
maggie benjamin on the subway.
i think thats it. not very exciting but thats okay!
Barbara Streisand at the Mark Taper Forum theater. Sitting with her husband James and Alan and Marily Bergman . They were seated to our right and all these other theater goers kept pretending to be going somewhere to walk in front of her and take a good look.
Hmmm... I saw Monica Lowinski at a grocery store once... (I didn't know what to say...) :-/
I walked into Stephen Sondheim on W.60th one night. My friend Dave was like, "who?"
I hate it when people don't know who Steven Sondheim is. Do they live in a cave?
I see Matt Zarley at my gym all the time. Christina Ricci also made an appearance there and we ended up working out on neighboring treadmills.
Mary Testa lives nearby so I run into her quite often. Nice and funny.
I see Julianne Moore all the time in my neighborhood and actually sat next to her at Florent in the Village a couple of years ago. She's beautiful.
I saw Hunter Foster picking up a red jeep from a parking garage not too long ago.
Ran into Christine Andreas at "Johnny Guitar" and had a nice chat with her.
More to come.
Anthony Perkins buying The Judy Garland Songbook at The Colony.
Liza Minnelli, sans makeup, at Bloomingdale's -- in the makeup department. Perhaps she was replenishing.
Mario Cantone at The Duplex, holding court and being obnoxious. I know, I couldn't believe it, either...
Robert DeNiro at St. John The Divine, attending a relative's baptism.
Chita Rivera before a performance of BRING BACK BIRDIE at Ted Hook's Backstage. She looked strangely serene -- as if accepting the inevitable.
Tom Cruise in Memphis. He was here filming THE FIRM. Incredible how short he is. Bless his heart.
Merecedes McCambridge in Little Rock years ago. Her son lived there then -- and ended up killing himself and his family. He blamed it all on his horrible upbringing.
Bill Clinton at the Gillette, Arkansas Coon Supper. I was singing, he was eating.
Connie Stevens outside the stage door of THE RINK. There was an enormous crowd around her shoving for autographs. My only thought was...."Why?"
Lucy Ball at the pre-Broadway engagement of THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG at the Ahmonson Theatre in L.A. Her daughter was in the cast.
OH YEAH?
Well!
I saw Clay Aiken's mom at a convention!
So...there!
The Faye Aiken card TRUMPS everyone else.
rlbgbc ~ Do you mean Lucie Arnaz or Lucille Ball? I'm going to assume Lucille, because I think Lucie was in the OBC of "They're Playing Our Song"
Lucy Ball means Lucille Ball. Lucie Arnaz means Lucie Arnaz.
I also once was crossing broadway at 43rd and almost smacked into Douglas Sills (it was like, 2 o'clock on a Monday, the most random time ever) and he didn't say anything, he just smiled and kept walking. ....these get more amusing all the time...OOH and I saw Liev Shriber crossing Columbus at 60th (right in front of Fordham one day)...that was kinda neat
I run into stars all the time but today I ran into:
Marissa Winokur- (Hope she comes back to NYC and returns to Hairspray)
Richard Kind- With the cutest blond little girl. I saw her and started ohhhing and then realized it was his child.
Richard Kind's kid should do commercials she is adorable.
I peed next to Tony Randall once at the opening of Showboat I think. may he rest in peace.
I have the strangest celebrity stalker. I seriously do think Randy Harrison is following me because I see him at least once a week and it's never in the same place. Subways, the West Village, the East Village, midtown. It's kind of creepy.
:)
when i was visiting London a few years ago, my friend and I were sitting outside Buckingham Palace, and the Queen came out in her housedress and slippers and bought a hotdog from a vendor just outside the gates...
I plotzed next to Tom Selleck in a Fells Point eatery when he was filming "Her Alibi" in Baltimore. The film plotzed also.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a handsome and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOW--WHAT A RIDE!!!!""
