Don't you hate it when you see a star and.....

It is a human being. what does it matter?

wasn't a broadway star but I was in the car on the way to a singing lesson and I saw Dominic Monaghan in the car next to me driving from the ABC/disney studio lots and I didn't realize it until my lesson was almost over. I was listening to some CR in the car and kept glancing over at the guy going "wow, he looks really familiar for some reason....." :-P My idiocy amazes even me...(huge LotR fan is why.)

DREAMCATCHER!! How could you?!? I was planning on camping outside of his house during the summer, but those plans were shot. Anyway, I'm just kidding I'm a big LOTR fan too!

After the first time I saw Aida, I remember getting Adam Pascal's autograph and a picture with him, and then after he was finished with everybody... he was just walking in the streets. I was amazed that broadway stars walked so nonchalantly in NYC! I know that they are normal people, but honestly...

I hate it when someone tries to point out a 'star' and i can't see them. Forget recognzing 'em, I'd be happy with being able to see them.

i was going to reply with
"and it's really an airplane?"

yeah. but those other types of stars.

One of my Favorite all time movies is Girlstown, and in Girlstown there is an actress who I like, named Aunjenue Ellis, who I've also seen in Shakespeare in the Park's The Tempest, as well as the tv show High Incident. Very pleasant to watch.
One day, when I was an extra for the film Disappearing Acts starring Sanaa Lathan and Wesley Snipes, We were eating lunch, at the table across from me was Sanaa (Who I wasn't familiar with at the time), sitting with two girls. One of them looked VERY familiar, yet I could not, for the life of me, place her. She kept looking at me, and I felt bad, because I would catch myself staring from time to time.
Well, it turns out, it was Aunjenue, and I regret not knowing that then, as I would have complimented her on her work.

Actually, fun story:

Where I live, the director of movies like "The Perfect storm" lives like 4 minutes away (big ass house!!!!) and he was having a wedding, maybe for his daughter I don't really know, but I was driving in the car with my friend and her mom and her mom points and goes "JULIA ROBERTS!!!" and I'm thinking "yeah...no"

but it really was her


it was AWSOME

The film, "Regarding Henry" was filmed in my office in the early 90s. I rode up in the elevator with Harrison Ford and I kept on looking at him because he looked so familiar. He was dressed up in a suit and tie, so I really didn't recognize him. I thought he was a new attorney. In retrospect it was kind of funny since we were the only ones in the elevator and the expression on his face was, "I hope this guy doesn't recognize me!!"

A couple of broadway stars go to my gym (in the theater district), and i get weak in the knees every time they pass, all sweaty and out of breath. I once screeched to an employee at the front desk "do you KNOW who that is?" and they just shrugged and said "yup." Certainly no broadway fan!

This happened about 20 years ago, but I was getting off a plane in Bermuda, and a tiny, frail, elderly woman was just coming out of First Class. She was right in front of me. She looked very familiar and I thought that she looked a lot like Bette Davis, but I didn't want to approach her; she really looked fragile and was traveling with a companion.
I was reading the paper the next day and there was a little article that Bette Davis had just arrived in Hamilton.
