Nicest celebrities you've ever met?

[MusicJunkie]

A few nights ago, I went and saw Margaret Cho when she came to Louisville (and had second row tickets!!!). While I wasn't too impressed with her act this tour around, none of that mattered to after the show. My friend Adam, his friend and I went to the stage door after the show let out and she came out about 5 minutes later. I've met a few celebrities before (I met Keith Strickland from the B-52's a few months ago) but I have never seen someone take the time out for their fans the way Margaret did. There were about 15 people waiting outside for her and Margaret had time for every single person. She signed every autograph that was asked and took pictures with everyone. I told her about how I used to watch "Notorious C.H.O." at night when I would take care of my dying mother to put a smile on my face and she gave me a hug and took a picture with me as well as signed my concert ticket. I have never really met an "*******" celebrity (even tho Matt Sharp, formerly of Weezer was sorta rude when I met them back in 97) but I have never seen someone that awesome to their fans before.

Who has been the coolest celebrity you've met?

Ric Flair

I got to meet Harry Connick Jr last summer when I saw his concert in Vancouver. I had 2nd row seats and then after the show, they set up a table outside and he signed autographs! Very unexpected, but the coolest thing ever! Of course, I ended up making a fool out of myself in front of him (what else is new?), because I blurted out that his birthday and mine are four days apart (and so are our ages!). Geez, like he really cares. But instead of rolling his eyes, he said "A Virgo, huh?" And he signed my ticket. He was very, very nice, though (even with my stupidity ). I could only talk to him for a few seconds, so had I been able to stand there longer, I probably could have thought of something more intelligent to say!

Some other people I have found extremely nice are from One Life to Live:
Nathaniel Marston (ex-Michael McBain) is extremely nice, but very flirty when it comes to his female fans. Of course at the time, I didn't mind!
Kathy Brier (she actually remembered that I wrote her a letter telling her that I worked at the Seattle Aquarium! I gave her a necklace that I bought there and left the tag on. She looked at it said said "Oh, the Seattle Aquarium!" I said "Yeah, I work there!" and she said "Yes, I remember you wrote me about that! Talk about amazing!)
Mark Dobis-who played Daniel Coleson (a very bad guy) was extremely nice.
Dan Gauthier (ex-Kevin Buchanan), very sweet. I told him I was from Seattle (he's from Oregon) and he told me that Trevor St John (Todd) is from Spokane. Trevor was very nice as well.
Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux, Days of our Lives) was very nice. I met him in Hollywood at a benefit for the late Richard Biggs.
Bill Melendez (or I guess I should say the late Bill Melendez -the voice of Snoopy in the Peanuts cartoons) was very nice. My husband and I met him on a cruise back in 2000.

That's great to hear about Margaret Cho. Very sweet story! I love hearing about celebrities who are nice to fans. It makes me appreciate them more!

I've been lucky in that all the celebs I met have been super nice. I met Danny Thomas when I was a kid and he was a doll smoking that proverbial cigar of course. About 25 yrs ago I met Ann Meara again super nice. And she was very petite in person and had a fantastic figure and very red hair (nothing at all like the frumpy characters she played). A few yrs back I got to meet Whoopi Goldberg twice - and again super nice. She was very laid back. The first time I met her was at a groundbreaking ceremony and the 2nd was during the Aids Walk in NYC. She headed a team and actually walked the whole race - 6.2 miles.

that is awesome about Whoopi. She's always been a celebrity I've admired and always wanted to meet. Good to know she goes out of her way to be good to her fans. A reason I have never had the desire to want to meet Madonna is the fact that she is known for being a bitch to her fans, same with Babs and Diana Ross. I might enjoy the music of those singers, but I'd rather meet celebrities I'd come away with positive experiences from.

Quite a few were super nice: Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Julie Roberts, Mackenzie Phillips, Cindy Williams, Barbara Eden, Caroline Williams, Pam Tillis

I haven't met many celebs, but around 1990, I saw in the newspaper that some soap stars were going to be at a nearby mall, signing autographed pictures. I was big into All My Children at the time. I can't remember his name, but he played Jeremy, and I'm too lazy to google it, lol. He has a French name, Jaque ??.

I told him that my husband Lou and I were big fans of him and AMC. He was so sweet. When I was walking away, he raised his voice a bit, and said, "Say hello to Lou for me." I thought it was nice for him to remember what I said.

I exchanged a few letters with James Mitchell aka Palmer Cortlandt on AMC. He's a dear man.

i met lacuna coil at ozzfest a few years ago. they were great. it's too bad the picture of me with their frontwoman was sort of ruined by some fat guy off to the side. not really in front of us, but fat enough to steal the spotlight.

It's a shame that Mackenzie Phillips got in trouble again

I wouldn't know about that, Ashley wasn't born yet when I met him. His only kids at the time were David and Megan.
