I grew up in Santa Monica so I got a chance to meet or see many celebrities.
RUDEST:
Jason Priestley - a complete Diva and dick. Drunken and obnoxious, and I saw him many times in the 80's and 90's.
Barbra Streisand - personification of conceited Diva
Ryan O'Neil- charming on the surface but one wrong move and he'll verbally castigate you in a profane diatribe
Leo DiCaprio- not handsome in real life, surprising short and a total A-HOLE!
Johnny Carson- A-HOLE!
NICEST:
Roger Federer-- very sweet, shy and much handsomer in person- a darling man
Gregory Peck -unbelievably wonderful
Ernest Borgnine- wonderful man, very giving to fans
years ago I took my mother to Las Vegas to see Robert Goulet. I slipped the door man a $20 ( a lot of money at the time) for a great seat. We were right there almost under his feet but mother was a smoker and Robert Goulet was absolutely mean and horrible to her and any other smokers in the audience. This was way before any non smoking sections . I think the theater should have honored his wishes not to seat smokers so close to him but I guess that would have been impossible.
What was supposed to be a wonderful treat for my mother turned into humiliation and tears for her. I was crushed.
A hard venue for a non smoker.....he knew that. I'm sorry your mother was humiliated.
It's hysterical that half of these so-called "celebrities" who were so rude are now "has-beens" and would probably be thrilled if someone asked them for their autograph.
...snipped...The pretty man from "dharma & greg" was about the rudest man that I've ever seen. He was a restaurant in San Antonio and chewed out the waitstaff because a heat lamp almost fell on him.
was that Greg ? Thomas Gibson. He plays on Criminal Minds as Aaron Hotchner ?
So call me shallow but I love this thread. Half the time I don't know who these people are yet I enjoy hearing the stories.....good and bad....<s> I often walk up to military people and thank them for service to our country.
When I was a child in the 50's my mother took me to a grocery store opening where James Arness was making an appearance. I sat on his lap and we got an autographed big glossy picture of him. When we got home my mother threw the picture away saying "He'll never amount to much".
Back in the 70's I was a Tar Heel (NC native) living and working in D.C. I was waiting in National Airport to fly standby into Raleigh/Durham for a weekend visit home. I recognized Terry Sanford, former N.C. Governor, then a Senator standing against a wall reading a paper. I just walked up to him and introduced myself. We chatted for awhile and I told him I didn't know if I could get a seat and he said he would look for me and would save me a seat just in case. this was before assigned seats _yeah I know I'm really old.
anyway I did get called and was walking down the aisle looking for a seat when Sen Sanford stood up, called my name and said "Look I've saved you a seat". When I sat down he introduced me to Douglas Knight ,President ofDuke University. We chatted for the approximately hour flight and when we landed Sen Sanford took my garment bag and president Knight carried my overnight bag and I led the way. There on the tarmac was my father (before people movers) who had stopped mowing the lawn to come get me. he looked terrible and was so embarrassed to see me leading a Senator and a University President like I was some sort of diva. At the time my father was a bird colonel in the army and was Army adviser to the national guard so he had met Sanford on official business several times. They chatted and Sanford gave me and my father his personal phone number in D.C. and told us he would be happy to help me out if I ever needed anything.
My father couldn't believe I had the gall to just walk up to a Senator but I reminded him he told me right before I went to D.C. to remember everybody put their pants on the same- one leg at a time.
Have I told this story in this thread before? can't remember but it is one of our favorite family stories.
