I lived in a ski resort for a number of years that was popular with Hollywood types. I remember 2 things about them. 1. They're generally pretty approachable 2. They aren't acting on screen, they're pretty much exactly who they are in person. (Jeff Bridges being the exception).
How did Jeff Bridges act at the ski resort?

OMG Lindsey Lohan, Charlie Sheen?

Yeah, tell us about Jeff Bridges.

Just think if Hollywood wasn't in California. What would the state be like today?

*Sigh* ... I guess.

I just wish I got some of that money for all the harassment I put up with ... the Canadian tourists are the worst, of course ... ungodly people ... all over me like a cheap suit ...

Worse than his brothers, his father and mother

I was referring to the broad range of roles he's played, from the Big Lebowski, to Starman etc. Obviously a very talented actor.

I would definitely pay to see anything you live in *swoon, swoon.*

I would think Asian tourists would be worse though. They go to great lengths to get the perfect shot. Think young, Japanese girl at Niagara Falls

I waited on several celebs when I lived in a nice part of Connecticut. I never was star struck. I was like, big deal. Next. My time is not worth less and I am not going to settle for poor service because I am not famous or rich, ya know? I treat everyone the same, with respect and do my job as best as I can.
