I Met Lisa Whelchel!!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nanc and Lisa! · 02-23-2008, 01:22 AM

I have been a viewer of the "Facts" message board for many years. It is one of my favorite shows and my dream has always been to meet the "Facts" girls. I recently had the amazing experience of meeting one of my idols, Lisa Whelchel so I thought I would share it with you all.

I had the absolute best day of my life and maybe Lisa will read this because when I told her about this board, she asked me if I was going to post something and I said I was going to so here goes! First off, when I met her, I already knew that I was going to get to have dinner with her and about 24 other guests. After we chatted for a while, she told me to put my things down by her seat so the fact that I got to sit with her at dinner just made my day. In fact, it made my entire life. I got to spend an entire hour and a half with her at the dinner and we talked pretty much the entire time. I asked her if she knew when the season 4 DVD was coming out and she said she wasnt sure but she made a note in her phone to ask her manager tomorrow. How cool is that? I can't even put into words what an amazing time I had.

That is such an amazing story. I know a girl over at another site who was going to meet Lisa either today or tomorrow. I really want to meet her. I have so much repsect for her as a person.

Nanc and Lisa! · 02-23-2008, 01:31 AM

I will never get over this. It is just an out-of-body experience. She was super nice and even more beautiful in person. I'm still on cloud 9!

Dean Winchester · 02-23-2008, 01:48 AM

that's awesome. I don't agree with Lisa on a lot of things, but I would like to meet her, she seems genuine and gracious to her fans and she'd be sweet

HuntingtonM15 · 02-23-2008, 01:49 AM

Congrats on meeting her! That rocks. This post reminded me to order an autograph from her site. I've been meaning to do that for years.

teach66 · 02-23-2008, 08:37 AM

Did she say anything about what the other girls are doing now?

80sTrivia · 02-23-2008, 10:09 AM

What a great story! I'm glad you had the opportunity to meet Lisa and that she was so nice to you!

cavalier · 02-23-2008, 02:56 PM

Very cool, I love her. Did she talk about Nancy McKeon at all?

Dean Winchester · 02-23-2008, 03:18 PM

to be honest, I think Lisa would be hurt if you spent the whole time talking to her about Nancy, Kim and Mindy. Come on, it's Blair freaking Warner!!!! There's enough to talk about with her there

Nanc and Lisa! · 02-23-2008, 05:16 PM

She was very very sweet and was happy to talk about the rest of the girls. I was sitting with her at dinner and she said that Kim is living in NY now, and I don't think she said much about Mindy. I think she's in California though, and Nancy is in Texas. She also said that Charlotte is doing very well.

RoryGilmore · 02-23-2008, 07:15 PM

Congrats on meeting her, I would like to someday.

I wonder if she learned anything from her manager about season 4

JoPol_wannabe · 02-24-2008, 03:22 AM

You are so lucky to get to meet her. You know she is my Idol too, (Role model I should say) and I just love how big of a christian she is. I would love to meet her but I don't think that will ever happen because she is hardly ever anywhere near where I live and the one time she was close by it was a private party. I know my boyfriend said if he knew how to get a hold of Lisa or her manager he would call her and try to get her to come and suprise me for my birthday sometime. Well I am glad you had a great time meeting her.

Meeting Lisa would have made a wonderful birthday present.

Nanc and Lisa! · 02-24-2008, 11:04 PM

That actually was my birthday present! and it was absolutely mind-blowing! I was in such a state of shock the entire time that it just didnt even feel real. It was amazing.

BensonFan · 02-24-2008, 11:10 PM

Congratulations! She seems like a great person from interviews I've seen and things I've read.
