A couple friends of mine told me they recently saw/met Molly Shannon because she's in town making a movie. So it got me thinking about what other celebrities have been in Pittsburgh. Got any stories?

No ****. Was just on a flight to LA and someone said there was a woman in first class that looked exactly like Molly Shannon. Guessing that was actually her now.

Used to see Bill Burns and Al Julius in town all the time. I was a student at Langley at the same time as Patrice King Brown. Last year, the Living Legend Bruno Sammartino was pumping gas at a station on McKnight when I pulled in.

Lots of opportunities to see celebs around here.

Russell Crowe gave me a dirty look in Oakland a few months ago.

Meh... don't be.
It was late, he was really really tired, and not very personable...

I would have loved to discuss his KickStarter project, but that was not gonna happen.

Back in 2001, I was walking down Penn Avenue in the Cultural District, and out the door right in front of me stepped Jerome Bettis. He tip-toed down the steps and started jogging across the street by the time it dawned on me that it was him.

Many years ago, my father was in line at an ATM at Pittsburgh International Airport right behind Johnny Cash.
