Alix,
"ppl who played jayne eyre and lead male (once again forget names)"
I'm assuming you meant Marla Schaffel and James Barbour. I've met Marla on several occasions and she is always so kind and appreciative of fans...never met James. I miss Jane Eyre though :*(

Just random, but where do you guys keep your photos and autographs? Are they framed, hanging etc.?
Chorus Member Joined: 7/13/04
Linda Eder and Frank Wilhorn and had conversations with both.
Alec Baldwin-I waited for him before seeing Twentieth Century and got a photo with him. He was extremely nice to me.
Doug Sills-I have some photos with him and some autographs. He is my favorite broadway actor.
Rex Smith-pic with him and autograph
Marissa Jaret Winnokur-autograph
Harvey Fierstien-autograph
I have met more, but the ultimate was meeting Bernadette backstage at 'Gypsy' and having a pretty lengthy conversation about Sondheim. It was so incredible!! But I don't remeber what I said, I probably made a fool of myself...
Understudy Joined: 10/29/03
Being from Switzerland I only met a couple of Broadway actors. I am visiting NYC about every second year. Usually I don't wait at the stage door but these were the exceptions:
Mary Stuart Masterson (my favourite actress), Antonio Banderas, Jane Krakowski, Chita Rivera, John Stamos and Eartha Kitt (when I went to see "Nine" in April and December 2003)
Liam Neeson (in 1998 when I was passing by the stage door - he did the play "Judas Kiss")
Ben Shenkman and Johanna Day (in 2000 when I went to see "Proof" - I didn't meet Mary-Louise Parker at the Stage Door; it was a matinee)

Mine are kept in large (3") binders, tucked inside photo protector sleeves. I have 2 that are filled with photos and signed cards. 2 more are holding playbills and other programs. I have some other signed programs that are too large for the binders and they, along with autographed books, are on a bookshelf.
(The cream of the collection is a book that I got from a theatre fan in London. It is a first edition that they had received as a gift in 1945. It is "A Theatre for Everybody - The Story of the Old Vic & Sadler Wells". It has been autographed by founders Ralph Richardson and Sybil Thorndike. Tucked inside are 3 of the miniature theatre programs they used to use during the war. One is "Peer Gynt" and it's been signed by Ralph Richardson. The other two are "Arms and the Man" and "Uncle Vanya" and they've each been signed by Laurence Olivier. The flyleaf also holds the signatures of Margaret Leighton and Michael Warre. Needless to say, this one holds a special place of honor on the shelf!)
Okay, so my list isn't as impressive as some, but here goes..
Melanie Griffith - autograph/chatting
Brent Barrett - autograph
Deirdre Goodwin - autograph/chatting
Roxane Carrasco (spelling? sorry!)
Kendra Kassebaum - autograph (u/s for Maureen when I saw Rent)
Jane Krakowski (spelling, again, sorry)
Leslie Uggams - pic
Dixie Carter
Harriet Harris - autograph/pic
Francis Jue - autograph/pic
Jessica Grove - autograph/pic/talked a bit
and my favorite person, Susan Egan 2 times - autographs, pics, talked for a while! shes so sweet.

I once worked with Bea Arthur on a benefit and, on our lunch break, she cornered me and demanded, "Now tell me plain: who's better than I am in this thing?" Honest-to-God.
Then, years and years ago, at a Tony Awards dinner following the show, I was walking to my table and found myself face-to-face with Eartha Kitt, who purred seductively, "Ex-cu-u-u-u-se me, but I ha-a-a-a-ve to tinkle."
You go, girl!
CJR, thanks for noticing, but it's because I met them twice. I was just going down the list of shows I saw and thinking of who I met and trying to keep them all straight. I saw some shows a couple times and stage doored each time. Nice to know you're looking out for me, though.
can i take the distinction of having never ever met anyone even slightly famous?
