I am so jealous that you met Natalie Portman! She is by far my favorite actress, and so so beautiful, pardon me while I gush a moment  ::) I love her!!

Well, my first famous person was Rupert Everett.  I was at the student global AIDS conference in D.C. about 4 years ago and I didn't know it but he was one of our key note speakers.  I was standing in the lobby of the hotel the conference was in and Rupert Everett steps off the elevator right in front of me.  I just thought to myself, "that can't actually be him!" so I asked my friend and she said it was.  I never got the nerve to say anything to him, there was no one else around being a gushing fan so I didn't want to be the only one.  He gave a very good speech though.  He was nervous which I found strangely endearing.  I never expect people who act for a living to be nervous speaking in front of people.

My other famous people encounters come from my 6th months spent stalking any and all famous people performing in the west end while I was in london last spring.  I met Kevin Spacey, Joshua Jackson, Ewan McGregor, Kim Catral, Patrick Stewart and Jonny Lee Miller.  I think that's it... by far the most insane was Ewan McGregor, he was in Guys and Dolls and it was the same weekend the last star wars came out so everyone was there for an autograph.  I have some amazing pictures though, and I was one of the lucky few who actually got an autograph and got to say a few words to him.  It was nice.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR...SO jealous!!!   >:(   Can you post a pic?  Purty please?

I went to a matinee of 'Guys and Dolls' while I was in London last fall and by sheer chance, we got front row seats!  He wasn't 10 feet from me in the front row on the stage performing.

Unfortunately for me, there was a sign in the lobby of the theater saying that 'Due to the terrorist threat, there will be no more stage door autograph signings due to security reasons for the safety of the people of London..'

SOOOOOO pissed.

I blame Hamas.

I must have been lucky, I caught it during preview week, so before the performance actually opened in mid May.  they were still doing autograph signings then, though I went to the matinee and had to go back for the later show to get the autograph.  I'll see if I can get a picture up for you! I'll have to put them on my computer...

kirkmusic:
Every now and then, famous people come to see the show I'm in.  I've been onhand to meet Shirley MacLaine, Sidney Poitier, Kathleen Turner (she was in town doing another show), Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser, who's boyfriend was in town doing a show.  Yep, he's gay.), Dawn Welles (Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island), Celeste Holme (although she didn't stick around afterwards.  Who knew she was still living?), a stage and television actress who's name escapes me because I don't watch TV, but she was playing the lead in Golda's Balcony, and this guy from the UK.  That's me in the tropical drink hat and ruffles.

Sheyne:

I've met Kylie Minogue before. She's very sweet and soooooo tiny. She'd come up to about my breast height.. Extremely little woman.  I've also met Ian Thorpe who's kinda stand-offish and soooooo tall!

They're probably the most famous people I've MET, but I've seen heaps of them up close. I was very lucky to have a friend who worked in the Heritage Hotel here in Brisbane and whenever famous people came into town, she'd buzz me and I'd just happen to head in there and hang out in the lobby / bar.

Those I've seen or walked past: Madonna, U2, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Linda Evangelista (sooooo tall!!), Tara Moss, Robin Williams and many others who sorta slip my mind at the moment.. if i remember, I'll post em.
