Kris Marshall was in a play called Treats with Billie Piper and it happened to come to my little Malvern town and being the stage door is as easy to find as your own house then it was easy for me to meet him though he was bloody tall

!! I felt miniscual !

He was very nice.

Robert Powell was the worst celebrity I've had the misfortune to meet, he was very rude and just did not seem to care.

batty babe · 13 Jul 2007, 11:28

Meat Loaf !!!!!

Then in no particular order an assortment of people I saw whilst working in a shop in Brum: -
Liam or Noel Gallagher- you can tell I’m not a fan!
Cliff Richard – had middle-aged women queuing around the block!
Fenella Fielding- Carry On films
Eric Richard- Sergeant Cryer The Bill
Matt Lucas- Before Little Britain – he wasn’t very pleasant!
Beverley Callard- promoting her exercise video & no one turned up!
Roger Cook – journalist / TV Cook Report – a bit scary

My husband’s claim to fame are:-

Cliff Richard – he shared a lift with him
Chris Tarrant
David Soul

I’m sure there are more but I can’t remember them at the moment, as you can tell they’re not exactly Hollywood standard!

Probably leaving some people out

Met a load of other footballers as well.

Curtis Stigers while on an acoustic solo tour about 7 years ago
Gerry Adams came into the ladbrokes shop where I was managing canvassing in the Irish general election before last. Suffice to say he wasn't in there long when the loveable drunk, who didn't cause any trouble but talked a lot, looked at him and said 'I know you from somewhere'

My Dad was sat on a plane next to Posh Spice and said she was really nice. This would've been about 6 years ago

LucyK! · 13 Jul 2007, 14:50

I also make coffee for one of the guys from Iron Maiden (either the drummer or guitarist, not sure which), they live in the next town and he brings his son in for guitar lessons where I work

samurai7 · 13 Jul 2007, 17:44

I've met loads and loads - very difficult to remember them all!

Bernard Manning, Bonnie Tyler, Tony Robinson, Chris Evans, David Gray, James Morrison, Alex Zane, most of Spandau Ballet, Harry Hill, Brian Conley, Liz McClarnon (ex-Atomic Kitten) Stuart Cable (ex-Stereophonics) Darius (?!) Matt Dawson, and many many more, including most of the Welsh rugby team, and every professional snooker player Wales has produced since Ray Reardon and Doug Mountjoy.

And my best friend from school is an Ashes-winning fast-bowler for England and Glamorgan

vrg · 13 Jul 2007, 19:48

I know I will forget someone, but:

Outside of Meat and Todd, etc., (NY Listening Party):

The celebrities I've met have come from my current job at a Jewish non-profit in Manhattan, or during my opera/classical muisic days, with a couple of miscellaneous:

Met via work:
Former Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu - mega-charmer with the ladies; can work a room as well as Clinton does; one of the best speakers I've ever heard.
Former CIA Chief W. James Woolsey - very nice fellow and wanted to speak to everyone he met. He filmed his speech for the organization in our Exec's office, and we had a mini-reception for him afterwards.
US Congress Representatives Anthony Weiner - NY, and Jim Saxton - NJ - two gung-ho hard workers in Congress; Saxton one of the nicest guys you'll meet.
Best of all - frequent contact with Ed Ames - the lead singer for the 50's group The Ames Brothers, and played the Indian in the 50's-60's US TV series Daniel Boone. Very tall (6'4), distinguished fellow who's real nice, voice still great at age late 70's; very passionate about his interests.

Met at the Metropolitan Opera, NY:
Marilyn Horne - grand gal; very down to earth; full of humor
Luciano Pavarotti - very friendly, like a puppy, and a wicked, constant flirt!
Placido Domingo - met a long time ago - very nice, a bit shy then
Tony Randall - actor/opera fanatic - friendly; knew everyone it seemed.

Met at Tanglewood summer concert theatre of the Boston Symphony Orchestra - Leonard Bernstein - long time ago; intense, sensitive to all around him; constantly talking to anyone/someone.

Met in Boston at Boston Opera theatre, then at the Metropolitan Opera and Philadelphia Lyric at the Academy of Music:
Dame Joan Sutherland - Great lady; has wonderful humor with the Australian touch; would always admit regular fans: showed she felt comfortable with repeated visits from fans she knew.
At this Boston Opera theatre, saw Jacqueline Kennedy go by on her way to the dressing rooms - was close enough to touch - very beautiful, very slight polite smile as she was escorted past us.

Met at lecture in Manhattan:
The late Bishop Paul Moore - leader of the Episcopal Church of NY - fantastic speaker; fabulous person to meet. Interested in everyone. Bishop Moore was very well known here in NY and in the Episcopal church.

Met in Off-Broadway theatre:
William Atherton - was Walter Peck in Ghostbusters. Played a scumbag in the play I saw him perform - but real nice to talk to.

Blackkat13 · 14 Jul 2007, 07:19

I meet the band Dope. I meet them a while back if you ever seen a picture of them you might think they're all evil and mean but they were the nicest guys. They joked around and talked wish my camera didn't mess up and I had a marker to get they're autographs. I only wished Mushroomhead would have not went back to there bus and would have hung out with all of us at the club that night.

That's Dope

That reminds me... Terry Pratchett, on four separate occasions at books signings, plus Ian Stewart and Jack S Cohen who co-wrote The Science of Discworld books with him.

My mate Lynda (who came to Wembley)'s claim to fame is that she's friends with Melvin Hayes (from It Ain't Half Hot Mum) who lives in the next village, and whilst waving to him across our local Waitrose car park, she nearly ran over Cliff Richard, (he's also friends with Melvin and had come to visit) who apparently had stepped off the pavement directly into her car, and she says he had very bad language for a man of God!!!

mszee · 14 Jul 2007, 17:49

Forgot some more...

Wrestler Chyna (she loved one of my dogs)
Ed McBain (mystery writer - very nice guy)
Judy Blume (writer - incredible woman...talked to her for a long time)
John Lithgow (arse)

Gottschalk?????? tell tell tell!!!

Ok, I really can´t stand John´s music, but I quite like Joey´s and Angelo´s (man, he can rock!!!)

They did "Wetten dass..?" in Bremerhaven a few years ago. The Saalwette (you can see how long ago it was, because it was a Saalwette back then, no Stadtwette like they´re doing now) was something about employees of the company my dad works for so we drove to our Stadthalle and we, amongst about 50 others, were asked to go on stage to do the Saalwette.
