Ah! You saw Molly Ringwald? The Queen of Teen movies! Ha. I was just watching The Breakfast Club the other day. I believe 16 Candles is going to be on AMC tonight at 8.
So what do you do when you sit next to a celeb? Do you just ignore them, or do you smile, or do you say how much you enjoy (or not enjoy, LOL) their work? I wouldn't know what to do if it happened!
Clinton saw Avenue Q a few months ago - I wonder what it must have been like sitting next to him!
I sat directly behind Sean Connery at "Writer's Block" and
Teddy Pendergrass was a few rows back when I saw "Frankie and Johnny"
I've seen way more celebs in doctor's offices and just walking down the street.

I saw Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman at Avenue Q (Wow, he's short...) as well as the original Luke Skywalker....whatever his name is...(not a huge Star Wars fan...I've never seen any of the movies...) I know his name, it is just escaping me at the moment.

I sat in front of the future Mrs. Marc Anthony (J.Lo)...who knew?...during a performance of what else...THE CAPEMAN! Updated On: 7/13/04 at 03:19 PM
Keanu Reeves at "The Real Thing"
Jude Law at "Assassins"
Liza Minnelli at "Wicked"
...those are some of the 'harder to spot' celebs.
Considering I go to shows about twice a week (client entertaining!)...I see celebs frequently. They run the gamut.
