I still have floating around that NY Times magazine about the lonely life and unhappiness of Nathan Lane. I also heard from some inner circle theater friends that he was always upset that he was never a movie star or a leading man type. I dunno. I love Nathan and would give my right arm for his success. I'm sorry he doesn't seem to be enjoying his spoils if that's the case, but I wouldn't dream of bothering him at the stage door either. I would just leave him alone.
As for Bebe, she was warm and funny while in DAMN YANKEES and posed for photos galore when I saw her exiting after the show. Once CHICAGO came along, she started escaping thru another door like Reinking did. Never understood why her feelings changed, but in general, when it comes to celebs I'd rather leave them alone than have them recognize me for all the wrong reasons. Bad impressions are lasting impressions.
