Sonny Bono--it was about 1994 or 1996. I was in DC visiting friends and family. We went to a hotel downtown to pick up another friend. There was a fundraiser going on in one of the ballrooms. So we decided to be nosy and see what it was all about. Sonny Bono was there milling around. We said "hi". He said "hi" back.

Julie Andrews---book signing a few years ago.

I met her along with about 200+ people at the dinner she was speaking at. She was AMAZING! I didn't get to say more than "hello - nice to meet you" though. My friend and I were going to try to get closer after dinner but as we got near her table some suited men (I'm assuming her security people) stood and we lost our nerve!

That's similar to the way I met Sonny Bono too - he was a speaker at another dinner I attended and was just fantastic.

And I met Patricia somebody who was the wife on Everybody loves Raymond. She had moved to Dallas and was shopping at KMART for things to fill the house! I was the cashier. Her bill was 2600 dollars! They had 4 buggies! hehe.
i am jealous now, she is my favorite actress of the sitcoms. Everybody Loves Raymond is my crutch.
Patricia Heaton aka Debra Barone. Does she still live in Dallas?

I once bumped into Kid from the 80's band kid n play in Manhatten. He's the guy with the tall hair.



He was sloppy drunk with a giant 40 oz in his hand wrapped in a brown paper bag---classy....


I also bumped into Mark Wahlberg during his Marky Mark days as a rapper, also in Manhatten. In case you've been in a coma for the past few years, this is him.



He's got REALLY bad skin and a bad attitute to boot. I have no idea if he's still that way but he was really rude and his gang were all a bunch of pot smoking losers, they reeked of the stuff. Funny thing is though, they'd just finished a benefit gig for the UCP telethon.


Oh, I forgot--my hubby used to drive for a limo service here and the company he worked for was contracted to transport for a billy joel/elton john concert. He was allowed backstage where he met both. He said elton john does this weird deep breathing thing right before he goes out onstage.

I was really jealous because I'm a huge billy joel fan.

Many years ago, the PNC Arts Center (when it was still called the Garden State Arts Center) which is on the NJ Garden State Parkway, was raffling off a Mercedes Benz (one ticket was $100.00) for the Cultural Fund.

Liberace picked the winning ticket and DH and I shook hands with him. BTW, the couple who won the car lived just up the street from us!!

I met Ice T in Waikiki when I was living in Hawaii. My friend and I were totally intimidated by him it was so funny. When he was walking away we heard him saying "they don't like me that's there trip" this became a little inside joke with us for years.
