As Renee says, they're just like us. Fame always sounds like a good thing, and many people seek it, but I can't imagine the loss of privacy. I wouldn't ever want to lose that.Trish Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983379845476025642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-30801749493133522272018-04-17T15:08:12.444-04:002018-04-17T15:08:12.444-04:00As a reader, I have met and talked with lots of au...As a reader, I have met and talked with lots of authors.<br />My Mom got on an elevator along with Robert Stack, the actor and my Dad had breakfast with Fred Gwynn who played Herman Munster, who also wrote a children's book that we have in the church library.<br />Janet E.<br />von1janet(at)gmail(dot)comLibrary Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04453047929043510049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-9801541654483528822018-04-16T21:16:48.478-04:002018-04-16T21:16:48.478-04:00I can’t think of anyone famous that I have met rig...I can’t think of anyone famous that I have met right off.

A lot of the team players would come in. Cardinals, Blues and Rams. I got an autograph from one of the Cardinal players for my husband. A lot of the news anchors came in, too. I talked to quite a few of them. On a trip to DC as a child , we toured the Capitol. We were in an elevator with Hubert Humphrey. My sister has met a lot more people. She has her own marketing firm in California. Among her clients were Jean Michel Cousteau and an astronaut. She also dated Cary Grant for six months and ate at Bob Hope’s estate at the same table as Ed McMahon. It was at the dinner for the troops. <br />Thanks for the chance to win. paulams49ATsbcglobalDOTnet Paula Shreckhisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950258738360858885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-23819542416124454622018-04-16T19:21:37.400-04:002018-04-16T19:21:37.400-04:00223 Orchard Street sounds wonderful!

That is just crazy cool!<br />I've met a lot of famous people but that is mainly because I worked in hospitality for many years and they were customers. Never had lunch with them.<br />My fave would be Hugh Jackman. He filmed a show in our casino for a brief time, and he always greeted us with a "Good morning ladies!" How do you not like that?<br /><br />kellyblackwellwrites(at)gmail(dot)com<br /><br />Kelly Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114157685843686254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-60362997256950932612018-04-16T19:20:18.695-04:002018-04-16T19:20:18.695-04:00No brush with fame yet, but still hoping.

I was the lifeguard at the Elks Lodge and he was at the pool with his kids. He kept dunking his kids and they were not happy. I told him to quit and when he didn't I told him he had to get out of the pool. He was so mad he went upstairs and came back with my parents and the exalted ruler of the club. They were ready to fire me until I said who would be responsible if one of the kids drowned. They said me. Then my stepdad spoke up for me. I kept my job and the Dallas cowboy never came back. I don't remember his name. fishingjanATaolDOTcomJan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706522878268677412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-46876921199369149652018-04-16T17:46:32.000-04:002018-04-16T17:46:32.000-04:00Several semi famous people when I lived in norther...Several semi famous people when I lived in northern Utah my favorite was della reese.kim hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951846304316134717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-27927541255766452772018-04-16T17:44:01.077-04:002018-04-16T17:44:01.077-04:00Looking forward to reading the book.
