Yeah, nice or not, her response certainly wasn't his fault. That's a bit over the top. And what the heck, the guy was working. Maybe he just didn't want someone bugging him while he was trying to work.

I remember hearing a story about Pual Newman. True or not I don't know. But it seems he quit giving autographs when one day some guy followed him into the loo and asked him for an autograph while he was taking a whizz. When he asked the guy "Seriously?" the guy got all huffy.

After that, Newman vowed he wasn't going to be interrupted doing anything ever again to give autographs. Like I say I don't know whether or not this is true or an urban legend but Newman never did give autographs and he was a philantrophist.

That may be, but I was just a kid at the time, not like I was working for the Paparazzi

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.
I have heard that Robert Goulet really went out of his way to be a *****.

Richard Dreyfus -- My father ran into him in NYC...literally....and knocked him over. My dad apologized profusely and he just said "Its okay" and hurried away.

Meanest:
Donald Trump -- My dad's company subcontracted to him a few years ago and he was a total jerk...constantly

Jerry Seinfeld -- My friend was a manager at a Chase Bank on Long Island. He was shooting a commercial down the block and absolutely refused to give an autograph to her coworker. He actually made her cry. My friend went back out there and did the same back to him....
I find Jerry Seinfeld to be the most un-funniest comedian I have ever seen.

Donald Trump (from what I have heard... mind you, I have never met the guy) isn't rude per se as he is just very blunt and get-to-the-point-my-time-is-valuable

I met Janet Reno at a Clinton fund-raiser (when he was running for his 2cd term) and she was very pleasant and chatty. Madeline Albright, on the other hand, was a complete ass

Really? Too bad. She's the only celebrity I've met, and she acted like a sweet little old granny when I saw her. She came through my checkpoint when I was working airport security and shortly after I bought a book at her book signing. She didn't get a lot of attention/recognition from the general public at the airport.

Did the same back to him? What on earth did your friend do? Say something nasty back? What? Just curious.
