mrs.gingerhinkley · 05-26-2007, 03:30 PM

ooooh.... this is very tough.
cool thread idea!

... i need to think on that one

*ClassicPinUp* · 05-26-2007, 03:32 PM

Frank Sinatra. As for what I would say...I'm not sure I'll have to think about it

. Marilyn Monroe as I'd like to find out what happened the day she died. Because I don't buy the suicide story.

freshprinceofLA · 05-26-2007, 03:47 PM

President: John F. Kennedy
Music Artist: Tupac Shakur
Athlete: Jackie Robinson
Actor: John Ritter

Frischman_Fan · 05-26-2007, 03:50 PM

Obviously I'd want to meet Vivian Vance. I'd probably drive her crazy asking millions of questions.

Then I'd want to meet Lucille Ball and I'd like to know what she went through to get to where she was as far as an actress, owner of a studio, and being married to Desi.

Ronald Reagan- talk about political things and about California.

Abraham Lincoln- talk about political things and his presidency/the civil war.

General Custer- talk about the battle of the Little Bighorn (but he probably wouldn't want to talk about it considering how it ended).

John Wayne- talk about general things (politics, his movie career, etc).

Elvis- talk about music and Cadillacs.

mrs.gingerhinkley · 05-26-2007, 04:15 PM

The I Love Lucy cast... I would bug them with zillions of questions

Jim Backus... I'd ask him to do the Mr. Howell voice
Natallie Shaffer

and of course...
Alan Hale, I think meeting him would be almost exactly like meeting The Skipper, Alan really loved his character.

Ireneparalegal · 05-26-2007, 04:24 PM

LUCILLE BALL: I would cry. I would tell her she was the first person that I ever watched on television that made an impact. I would go on and on and on.

PRINCESS DIANA: I would want to hug her and tell her what a beautiful lady she is inside and out and to thank her for all the charity work she did. I would also tell her how great it was for her to visit and actually "touch" people with AIDs in hospitals, especially since at that time, no one wanted to be near people with AIDs. So much I would chat with her abt.

JOHN LENNON: I would ask him what I could do in this world to help achieve peace. I would tell him how he is my fave Beatle. I would love to sit and just eat dinner with him and Yoko.

SOPHIA LOREN: I would chat with her abt her childhood and the war. I would also want to know her beauty secrets.

AB · 05-26-2007, 04:31 PM

Elvis, I'd ask him to go easy on the prescription drugs so he could stay around a little longer. I loved his music.

Jim Morrison, would love to have hung out with him and would also ask him to go easy on the drugs. I also loved his music.

catlover79 · 05-26-2007, 04:47 PM

Dick York - I so loved him as Darrin on Bewitched. I'd ask him all sorts of questions about making the show. Even when he was broke and in failing health, he never gave up and never stopped helping others in need. I would ask him how he managed to keep such a positive attitude instead of sinking into despair as many others would have. Finally, I would ask him his secrets to a happy marriage. He was as much in love with his real life wife, Joan, as Darrin was with Samantha. Through the good times and bad, sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, they were married for over 40 years until he passed on in 1992. Here is the link to his memoirs and pictures: http://www.newpathpress.com/.

Other than that, I would've loved to meet Elizabeth Montgomery, Agnes Moorehead, Karen Carpenter, John Lennon, George Harrison, Jack Soo...the list goes on and on.

Already Gone · 05-26-2007, 05:09 PM

Dudley Moore
Don Knotts
John Ritter
Peter Cook
Jack Lemmon
Walter Matthau

As for what I would talk about, i'm really not sure, whatever came up in conversation. With Dudley Moore, it might be mostly music.

Nighthawk76 · 05-26-2007, 05:33 PM

John Lennon
Jim Morrison
John F. Kennedy
Thomas Jefferson
Abraham Lincoln
Alfred Hitchcock
Stanley Kubrick
and others

Sharop · 05-26-2007, 08:19 PM

Maurice Gibb
Andy Gibb
Steve Irwin
John Lennon
George Harrison
Elvis
Buddy Holly
River Phoenix

Quite a few others too.

I'm not sure what I'd say to them.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 05-26-2007, 08:31 PM

John Ritter and Lucille Ball. I'd tell them how much I admire and idolize them, and how they could always make me smile no matter what was going on in my life. I've always been in awe of both of them.

KissMyGrits · 05-26-2007, 08:48 PM

I have already met some semi-famous sports celebrities. I met Shaq and a few players with the Miami Heat. I loved the fact that they were easy to talk with and they didn't let the fact that they are sports stars get to their head.

As for TV celebrities, I would love to meet Bruce Willis. I would love to ask him what it really was like working with Cybill Shepard.
