Not looking for anybody to be rude; I just wanted to send a package of fun things to an actress I know. we went to high school together! What would you recommend sending? her favorite candy? what else?

If you know her, send her what you think she wants. How are we supposed to know what this woman likes, and make suggestions to you?

If you "know" her, you should know what she likes/wants, etc. (and, of course, what Jordan said: how the heck would we know?)

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

If you went to high school with her and know her, offer to take her out to lunch or for a drink after her show. Sending someone you know random gifts for no reason other than she's an actress just makes you seem like a generic fangirl which is fine if that's the look you're going for.

If you didn't maintain your friendship after high school I doubt she's interested in receiving anything from you now anyway.

Okay. So I just spoke to her and she has no idea who you are. She asked me to tell you to refrain from sending her anything and she’s informed the stage door supervisor to keep an eye out for any packages sent to her and for them to dispose anything that comes in for her.

Thayer's throat lozenges or Emergen C are two things that are useful for theatre performers.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Wouldn’t you be in a better position to know what she wants than us?

I don’t think anyone here is trying to be “rude,” but you’re the one who is this person’s friend, nor us. You should know better than anyone here what she likes.

Just curious how you know who the actress is the OP was talking about.

Excellent post and agree 100%.

Oh, I don't know; I believe at least one or two were being purposefully rude.

There's definitely, at the very least, one person who was trying to be rude with their comment.

Dude, they "remember you" because your picture is posted backstage on the Dangerous Stalker Board!

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is just a little, teeny-tiny-bit, creepy AF?

I believe that may have been a joke

I'm suspicious of any thread that starts "Not looking for anybody to be rude"

So which is it? Do you know you personally or do they remember you because you give them stuff? Make up your mind, kiddo. (And what does being a teenager have to do with it?)
