I see you're a little "star-struck":lol:

Yes, I was shaking like a leaf! Luckily my friend Brittany agreed to go with me, she took the pictures and kept me from sounding like a bumbling idiot when I finally got to talk to Alan, LOL. ;)

Outside of conventions/appearances/book signings:

Majel Barrett and Richard Kiel a few years ago when I took my family down to visit one of my sisters when she and her family lived in California. My sister shopped at the same grocery store as Barrett.

Juliana Hatfield - She was performing with The Lemonheads at Satyricon in Portland, OR. I was standing behind her when she was in line getting water at the bar and she turned and bumped me and spilled some of her water on me...I never dried that shirt again.

Dawn Wells at Powell Books in Portland, OR(she was there browsing books)

James Doohan at the Sea-Tac International Airport

Awww...:cool:

Aww, thank you sweetheart! :hug:



Yes Ashlee, he was a real sweetie. I'll never forget when I told him about my cousin Jamie being killed in Iraq, he stopped signing, reached out and took my hand, and said, "Oh sugar, I'm so sorry." That meant the world to me.

I agree with Mickey, Lu!! I know that's a day you'll never forget. :bighug:

Speaking of uncomfortable, how many facelifts and botox has Loretta Swit had? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Does anyone remember the early 80's family adventure film "Mystery Mansion"?
I went to school with Randi Brown who played the main girl- Susan. It was a big deal in Junior High while she was filming the movie(filmed in Oregon)- she was a local celebrity for several years(in school at least). I think the biggest name in it was Dal McKennon(Cincinnatus from Daniel Boone)

My oldest niece was an extra in "Hear No Evil"- my niece is deaf and they used students from the deaf school in Vancouver, WA as extras. My sister and niece of course got to meet Martin Sheen, Marlee Matlin, and DB Sweeney. I can't remember how much they paid my niece but she bought a brand new pair of shoes with the money.

While working at an auto parts store back in the late 80's, one of the store managers I worked for supplied the car that Keanu Reeves drives in "Permanent Record"

This passed weekend I was at the National Festival Of The West. I saw James Drury, Robert Fulton, Clint Walker. Last year I saw Bruce Dern and I went to shake his hand and he kissed it.

Not to nit-pick, but don't you mean Robert Fuller, who played Dr. Kelly Brackett on Emergency! I've heard of the National Festival of the West and I know that he was there last year. too.

I've been to tapings of The Big Bang Theory and The New Adventures of Old Christine so I've seen the casts of those shows. I was at the red carpet for the Oscars this year so I saw Tina Fey, George Clooney, Mariah Carey, Monique and a couple of others. And I've seen Kelly Clarkson and Britney Spears at concerts.

those 2 shows are FILMED, not taped. No sitcoms are taped anymore.
