Having lived in NY, I've met a number of famous people, even went on a date with one or two or more people in the entertainment industry nothing substantial worth writing about happened; two I don't even remember their names, but probably could look them up and recall, one I might still have his business card in an old wallet. Another has been in several movies and tv series and still is on a tv series, which may have ended this year. I was watching the series, not knowing he was going to be in it. Watching him was annoying as his character became kind of unlikable, at least to me. That wasn't the main reason I stopped watching. Seems he shows up in a couple of series I do enjoy. One I didn't realize it was him till years later.
When I first met the actor and he told me he was an actor, I rolled my eyes to myself and under my breath said yeah right. But then some time later after figuring out why the guy creeped me out, I realized it was because he reminded me of a character he actually played on "Law And Order". I doubt he'd remember me, except maybe if he saw and old picture, but, probably not even then unless I talk about the date itself and how awkward the date felt. I'm sure I was the one that said there wasn't going to be a second, think I cut the first short. Like I said I was creeped out and not exactly looking to date someone who didn't have a real job. SNOB! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Guess he showed me. Today he has a beautiful wife, very successful career in his field of choice, but still we weren't a match no matter what.
I've met Hillary Clinton, not many NYurs haven't, met a Clinton or two at some time or another. I worked on a Dionne Warwick project/concert so I met her. Considering how crazy my life was and how my memory is shot, I'm sure there are people who just didn't leave much of an imprint in my mind for me to remember having met them and for visa versa.
But most note worthy famous person, for me, will always be my great-granddad from the Charles' Kuralt series and Books "On The Road" Last Brick Maker In America". CBS owned the rights to the name so used it to make a movie loosely based on my GGF, but not reallly my GGF, only connection was the dedication and hard work. Sidney Poitier played the lead.
