Ever had a celebrity encounter?


I just met Pamela Anderson today. She's really nice. She's here in BC due to COVID-19 but her home is in LA. It was really cool talking to her. My first celebrity encounter. Watched her on "Home Improvement" back in the day but didn't watch "Baywatch".

Famed wrestler Capt. Lou Albano shopped in a grocery store I worked in as a kid
He was a real gent and always had a funny line or two

LL Cool J used to pop into the deli where I worked while in high school. There was a medical center across the street and my understanding was that his girlfriend had appointments there.

Very nice guy. I don't think he ever got anything other than a soda, which is a shame because it was a really great old-school German deli.

That's cool
I used to work in a deli too

No, I was super careful with those machines. I made up for it by being careless with the grill and frequently burning myself.

Yes! A long long time ago I met Elvis Presley when he was staying at the Hollywood Knickerbocker Hotel when he was making movies. He was a very nice man.

I met Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings backstage after an Outlaws concert. This was many years ago. At the time, I worked for a music distributor and was given a backstage pass by their record company salesman. Waylon said hello, but didn't say a whole lot. But Willie was very friendly, and took my hands in his as he said hello, and gave me a peck on the cheek.
