Frankie Vaughn (impressed or what)

 

Yes I was, at the time !

[Kingmaker2]

I shook hands with Muhammed Ali.

Tracy Ullman in Grand Central Station. They wouldn't let her in the bar on Valentines day. She was quite unreserved in her response.

Also sat behind a man in The Palace Hotel in Madrid and said to my husband. "There's someone famous at that table. I think he might be in Coronation Street or something". My husband looked and said "Silly bird. you do know it's Bruce Springsteen?"

I met the Duchess of Kent.

I had to explain how kidneys produce urine

(with the help of a video rather than performance art...)

I saw the Queen once, does that count? I met and talked to Jim Marshall, of Marshall amps fame. Also met her who did that God awful "saturday night" song in the 90's while working in a nightclub, though I forget her name.

[Psyber]

I'm not sure, a bit of a mixed bag, and I may not have noticed.

 

I've met a few Politicians in OZ, and have met a few muso's but as I'm not into pop/rock I never remember who they were.

 

I do remember I danced briefly at a rehearsal with Arriette Taylor who was an internationally known ballerina, when she was teaching in Adelaide. It happened because I was handy when she needed a guy to act as a prop at a class, not because I have trained. [i was picking up my then girlfriend who was training.]

 

I knew Paul Davies, a Physicist, considered second only to Stephen Hawking in his field, but barely known outside it, but I recognised him.

 

Fame depends on who is looking.

[Glennis]

Robert Plant
