Just curious.  Has anyone ever known a celebrity?


As a very young girl, my sister and I went to our friends house, and her cousin was Shirley Jones, we played games around the house, but as far as knowing her ?? Also Pat Boone sang at my sisters wedding in NY, they all belonged to the same church. No big deal on either one of these.I'm not a big celebrity watcher person. Made me laugh on here where one person was at the airport the same time as Sonny and Cher.Also was at a gas station ,Dad was filling the car, and Roy Rogers was there filling up, with his horse trailer and Trigger was inside.  My sister was in 4th grade and told that as a story she expierence that summer. and the teacher called her a liar. Try that today ,see where it will get you?

Yes. Not from the entertainment world, but athletes.

My husband went to high school with Calista Flockheart from Ally McBeal.

 

We met quite a few through the years.

Interesting celeb connections.  My aunt knew Kirstie Alley in college. She's from Wichita, KS and went to college for a year at K-State before heading to LA to become an actress.

Nope, but in my late 20s I dated a guy named Danny, his bestie is married to Kathleen Walp Donohue (Cat) the model on QVC that does a lot of the Denim & CO shows - the gorgeous redhead. 

TALK about GORGEOUS - back then her beauty rivaled a young Ann Margaret. She is the kindest girl, so sweet.

 

She knows me as Karen, not Ko.

 

The last time I saw her was at her house and she was pregnant (a beamingly gorgeous pregnant girl too I might add).

When I hear the term "Hollywood-type" in reference to a male, I think of Tom Selleck.  Very handsome with a deep, sexy voice.

There are many degrees of "celebrity" such as the guitar player for winky dink.  Tom Selleck, Tom Hanks, Cary Grant  are "celebrities" in my world ...  Jake on the Hallmark movies not so much ...  I want NAMES ... not I know one ...
