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 Mel Gibson when he was filming "Maverick". I'm glad that didn't happen to me. I would have shamelessly thrown myself on him.

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.

I am having lunch with Barbara Bush on 4/14. It was iffy while she has been in the hospital, but she is a tough old bird. 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.

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?

Yes he was very nice. His manager saw us staring and acting like kids and invited us over to meet him.
