Broadway Stars You Have Met — Page 3

Check Your Personality, yes, you spelled Roxane's name correctly. You've actually been one of the few to get it right! lol Be sure to check out her website: www.roxanecarrasco.com

What did you think of her, by the way? Sorry for all the questions, but you're new and she's a friend -- I'm curious lol

Quibbler, I kind of figured as much after I posted my response to you... I just figured you would have put "x2" or something after their name lol

"I cant believe I'm a total loser and forgot Harry Connick Jr and Jill Goodacre. They used to live down the street from me... taught me how to rollerblade"

I have to ask, are they an incredibly nice couple? I ask because when I was younger (13!) I was COMPLETELY in love with Harry. (Still am to a degree, but not as crazy as I was when I was little...) When they had their first baby, I went to a CD signing and gave Harry a pillow I made for her with her name on it with a card attached...a few weeks later, Harry CALLLS me on the phone to thank me and Jill sent me the sweetest thank you card.

I was SO touched...I thought they seemed like such a great couple and it meant a lot to me! So glad they're still together with three gorgeous kids! :)

Man, showoff thread.

There are actors that I've talked with ranging from 1 minute to an hour. But I won't go into it because...well, I don't know, it just sounds like this thread is 'let's play who has the most connections' or whatever.

And I am sure that some people here just definitely won't even *try* to make a list.

Okay I lied. Apparently Im not running out the door, so I'll post the story now.

I was rollerblading back and forth outside my house and having trouble (I had just gotten them)... Harry and Jill were skating by and he stopped. "Hi, I'm Harry and this is my wife Jill, we live down the street. Do you want a little help? Why don't you try this....." and then they spent about 15 minutes skating with me. Meanwhile, my mother's in the driveway gawking... When I finally came back down the driveway she looked at me and said "Do you know who that was?" I said "Yeah, that's Harry and Jill, they live down the street... really nice." My mom just gasped and said "Hon, that was HARRY CONNICK JR and JILL GOODACRE!"

I felt like such a moron for not recognizing them lol

CJR - I adore your Harry Connick story. WHat an adorable couple. I love to hear things about celebrities being normal nice people. And being the worlds worst rollerblader I'm a bit jealous of you! If you run into them again feel free to let them know I could use a little help!

um, famous people I have met ... Sigourney Weaver, Hunter Foster, Christian Bale, "Barbara Jean" from Reba (on the wb - not really famous but she was incredibly nice), Glenn Close (so beautiful in person), Karolina Kurkova (sweetest supermodel ever) - I haven't really met too many people. i'm not a wait around at the stage door kind of a gal. I see people a lot on the street, but never stop. Although P Diddy did check me out one day!

Antonio Banderas could quite possibly be the nicest person ever! I love him.

I met all of Avenue Q (cept natalie-she licves in jersey so has to get home quick) me and my friend got up to the dresing room doors (i have no clue how) and had nice conversation swith everyone, took pics, and autographs, they were soo unbeleivably nice. they just included us right in their conversations. awesome.

If you don't like it, don't read it. Wow....simple as that. Some people enjoy finding out who's met who. I don't think it's as big of a deal as you're making it out to be. After all, this is a Broadway fan site.....just because you don't seem to find this one aspect of being a fan exciting doesn't mean someone else might find meeting a star to be the best thing ever.
