I met Toni Tenille and the Captain (anyone else remember The Captain and Tenille?). Ms. Tenille even told me a joke that can't be told in this forum....she was charming and very, very funny.

I met Mel Gibson when he was filming "Maverick". He was incredibly polite, amazingly friendly and down to earth, of course, maybe because I was bringing the payroll for him and the film crew.

I met Leonard Nimoy when I was a kid. I asked him where his pointy ears were. He told me they were in the shop getting sharpened.

I met Bill Cosby at a mall in Boston. Just wandering around the bookstore after a signing. He took a picture with me that didn't turn out and no one back home ever believed I really talked to him.

She's very, very nice in person. I've always liked her. I was sad to hear that she wasn't feeling too well but hopefully she's feeling much better.

My husband and I were in vegas and met Chuck Lidel and took pictures with him by the black jack table. He was probably mad we were bothering him but it was awesome. By the way Chuck Lidel is UFC fighter.

Way, way south.
Chuck Lidell is on his way down the hillside regarding his UFC career, but that man can/could kick some serious butt.

Was he cool to you?

only if I want to....
Dan...your mom did the right thing about ole Conway! We LOVED to hear Conway so my mom, dad and I went to one of his shows...he REALLY got us riled when he not ONCE acknowledged his band!!! mad

Growing up my dad always had a Country Band. When I was a teenager we got to play at this huge venue where many big stars would be booked to come play each weekend. One weekend we got the privilege to play as warm up band to Mickey Gilley and Emmy Lou Harris. We got to eat fried chicken with them and their bands...watch them put up the lights and equipment. Both of them were very gracious stars. I was in AWE of their bass player b/c I was learning the bass at the time...and he was CUTE too! whistle That cutiepatootie leaned over on the stage to talk to me :::stares dreamingly::: and my dad walks over and says...so what do you think Scooter (my nickname)...I said "man daddy...he ALMOST plays as good as you do!!!" My dad almost fainted blush laugh Good times...I miss him EVERYDAY!!! smile
