LOL. TY for a good laugh.

Bryant Gimbel said pretty much the same thing about her but you had to read between the lines. In those days people assumed he was an arrogant jerk on the set and he was making some veiled references defending himself, that he wasn't the one who went through staff like toilet paper.

Robert Wagner - stoic but polite; very focused on his lines, fascinating to watch;

Jill St. John - reserved and quiet;

Faye Dunaway - true what they say about her - a living terror; Beyond mean.

I vote Republican but Clinton's Secret Service agents said he would go out of his way to be nice to hotel maids and kitchen staff even when there were no cameras around. Same with both Bushes. Sound like good guys.

The idea that they 'owe' you an autograph or attention is ludicrous.
Its not so much what they "owe" you as much as its smart business. To get people to pay $11 to see you, a smart celebrity is going to work the crowds and try to be as appealing as possible.

Now maybe if you're Jennifer Aniston you might want to maintain some mystery, but for most celebrities they would be better served by learning how to work their crowds like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra had to.

She is bipolar and many of them are good at turning on the charm when they have to.

I just got back from LA last Summer and had a limo driver furnished to us that was a "driver of the stars."

When we asked who the nicest people he had driven were, Linda Hamilton came up right away!

Kanye West doesn't surprise me.
Maybe its the same deal as with Megan Ryan. Maybe she's just insecure or wound too tight and just comes off bad because she's ill at ease in public?

But the most perfect celebrity I've ever encountered is probably George Clooney. He's not only charming and funny and gracious, but listens to you so attentively that you start to feel he's absolutely fascinated by what you're saying.
His dad is a very personable guy. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him.
