The most famous people you've ever met - Page 8

I met a bunch of hair bands backstage in the 80s when I was in grade school. My best friend's dad was a promoter so I got to do a lot of grown-up things tagging along with her family.

Somewhere in my nostalgia stash is my little Snoopy and Woodstock diary with a bunch of signatures from Ratt, Motley Crue, Rainbow, and others -- alongside my ponderings about what my unrequited first crush Brandon might be thinking.

I've met authors at signings and a few politicians. But I've never had a real conversation with a celeb. To me that would be really meeting them. In Nashville and the surrounding area I've had people point out country singers to me, but I never recognize them on my own.

Never met anyone famous, but was 500 feet from dustin Hoffman as he was filming a movie in a city near me. No one was around, and my husband said go say hi, i said what do i say to him? Needless to say, i didn't approach him, but went home and called everyone i knew to tell them i just saw him.

We saw one of the last Andy Williams Christmas shows in Branson. What a wonderful and talented man he was.

When I was a kid, one of my aunts worked at the ABC building in NYC and would sometimes invite us to visit. One day, as we were leaving, heard a familiar voice say: "Hold the elevator, please." It was Howard Cossell. Remember him??!!!

Years ago we met all the hosts from This Old House and The Victory Garden. It was a buffet and cocktails event held in a mansion near the Governor's mansion, so the food was top notch and devine. I was beside myself because I got to meet Norm Abram who I adored!! We spent most of the evening chatting and I was beyond thrilled. I grew up watching the show with my dad and brothers and never ever dreamed I would actually meet them. Steve Thomas was the host then and Marian Morash was doing the cooking on The Victory Garden. I have a picture with Norm, my husband, and me that I still have on the bookshelf.

Being a native Nashvillian has its perks of living around/shopping around lots of famous people. My son was in Mother's Day Out at a Hendersonville church with Ricky Skaggs' daughter Molly. Then when our son attended a private Christian school he was in class with Louise Mandrell's daugher and went to a birthday party for her where all the Mandrell sisters were there with their kids. Little Jimmy Dickens attended (infrequently though) the Baptist church I grew up in, and he lived just down the street from us for several years. I grew up with Eddie Hill's children (Joyce and Cheryl were closest in age to me). If you don't know who he was, he was a country music singer/radio & tv personality. All of these people in the places I saw them didn't act uppity or star-like at all--just down-to-earth personalities which is what I always have liked about the country music people.
