I had a friend who worked the ticket booth for a movie theater in the town where America's Best Actress lives who said that she tried to buy a ticket for one of her kids to see an R-rated movie without adult supervision. When my friend refused to sell said ticket, ABA threw an under-the-breath hissy-fit; friend stood firm til ABA backed off, and then he blew (or so he says) cig smoke in her face in brave bit of superiority. No retaliation followed, which says much of ABA imo.wildemoose wrote:I have a really good story from the summer I interned at the Williamstown Theater Festival involving an Oscar-winning actress, but I'm not going to say her name for fear of prosecution. Basically she was really nasty about wanting a particular salad that didn't exist, from a restaurant that was closed, which I begged, borrowed, and stole to get for her, and immediately (not on purpose!) dropped and spilled it all over the floor of my car. I can never see her without remembering that she ate car floor salad. Moral of the story: be nice to interns.gloriana wrote:Hee. This thread is fun.
My closest brush with fame: as a college student I designed costumes for a semi-pro summer production of Shaw's "Arms and the Man," which was performed in a barn in New Jersey. Piper Perabo (later to scale the heights of fame as the star of Coyote Ugly) played Raina. I still find it funny whenever I see her in something that I've seen her in her underwear (for costume fitting purposes, natch).
Also, my bro' works part-time at the booth of a major art-house in NYC and has met nice celebs like Patrick Macnee and Elaine May, and ridiculously snotty ones, like Molly Ringwald, in his time there.
They call me Threadkiller.

Why does this not surprise me? Is that why you moved to Arizona?Steampunk wrote:I'm partially responsible for a "We reserve the right to refuse service" sign at a bar in Seattle, WA.
Pale fame (or infamy) at best, but that's all I got. And we did have fun.

Anyone can read accurately. [i]I[/i] read with great expression.
is this the food(not necessarily the brand) your referring to? (see link below)Lucy_k_p wrote:I'm 'The one who makes those gorgeous chocolate mushroom things*.' I also got called a goddess of baking, which was very much appreciated since I'd spent three days getting three tins of biscuits and two of mushrooms ready.
*Chocolates shaped like mushrooms - they contain no actual mushroom.
because if so should mention that they are most delicious and that being the "goddess of baking" sound quite famous (at least to me)

No, I got the recipe out of a Cadbury's cook book. The recipe is here, but I don't have any photos.
So little space, so much to say.
My name is on the acknowledgment page of a best selling author. Tricia actually noticed it. hee hee.
I entered a contest to give the author ideas on using things in a world without ANY power.... I suggested a Bicycle trailer. I was one of the winners and got my name in the third volume of the series PLUS the whole series autographed.

I am in fact a published author... of about four sentences in a coffee-table-ish book. Also, the back of my head has been in my local newspaper twice.
