Hee hee..... Anne Heche, who played Marly, was a lesbo back then anyway!
The story is this....when I worked at Islip, he kept his private plane in one of our hangars. He pursued me (even though he was married to a former miss USA who was gorgeous!) and I made out with him in his hangar . He wanted to fly me to Atlantic City for the night but I said no. I didn't want to be a home wrecker! He's a reeeealy good kisser though (he's had lots of practice on tv!)

Re: QOTD: Who is the most famous person you ever met?

i've seen a couple of people on the streets, but the only semi-famous person i've met is gertrude ederle the first swimmer (maybe first female swimmer) to cross the english channel. my dad is locksmith and used to work in queens. back in the day i was a competitive roller skater and had aspirations of going to the olympics (even though it wasn't a sport we thought it might get added, still waiting). anyway he did a lot of lock work for her and she wanted to meet me. i got to see one of her olympic medals and she gave me this really cool gold pendant with a swimmer and the olympic rings on it, plus some usa swimming patches and stuff. it was a really neat thing to experience as a kid.

Way back when....I met Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Daryll Strawberry at a baseball card store.

I met Stacy Keatch, he used to be on Mike Hammer (my step mother was a legal secretary and he was a client. We watched him film an episode of Mike Hammer)

Joe Chioffe the weatherman (he used to be on News 12), I booked him a trip once

My father met Henry Winkler when he was filming Nightshift. My father used to be a Transit Cop and he rode the trains. He got me his autograph and took a picture with him.

Re: QOTD: Who is the most famous person you ever met?

I forgot...

I met Alec & Stephan Baldwin at Queens College once while they were campainging for Clinton (I *think* that's who they were campaining for ).

I literally RAN into Steve Martin on 26/Park while running to class at Baruch. He was filming a movie and he caught me right before I landed on my tushy!

I also literally RAN into Sarah Jessica whle she was filming her first season of SATC. She was in Forest Hills and walked out of her trailer into me as I was walking by.
And I saw her again a few months ago finishing up this final season's SATC along with Candice Bergin. They were taping in the resturant downstairs from me
