From the lens Famous Encounters.

They say your odds of running into someone famous improve the closer you get to Hollywood. I went to Hollywood once. I never encountered anyone famous while I was there. Sometimes, it's just the most mundane events that bring folks together.

    Well, I can't say that I have had a star encounter other than in my dreams, but they were pretty real dreams. You must be a star magnet!

    You sure have patience. I would not have waited that long, but I live and work in Los Angeles and, as you pointed out, star sightings are much more frequent here. I've been starstruck a few times, though! Steve Martin made my heart skip a beat (twice).

    Very fun lens! And great story about Matt Damon! not a stupid smile - an excited smile - you look great!

    I've met a few famous people, but not one of my stories could top that one.

    you're right, watching movies get shot is incredibly boring. I'm not sure how people who work on sets can stand all that waiting around doing nothing.

    5* and a tweet!

    Very good lens, and it looks great, too! And, oh yes, I've had several encounters with famous folks, but one in particular turned into a friendship. We just last night went to another of his concerts, with tickets waiting for us at the door and some quality time afterwards. It was a chance meeting in an airport, then on the plane ride, and it just happened to be my all-time favorite singer. My husband and I are pretty tickled, but we have to keep our fan-ness low key when we're around the man and his band, so they continue to think we're "normal." :)

    Ahhhhh, the infamous "matt damon jacket"!! Great stories. As for me, I recall an elevator stopping for me in a hotel as I was all dressed up to meet my husband for dinner, only to see as I stepped in that the pro basketball team was there.....I'm 5'2". It was a little intimidating!! And then there was the airport about 16-18 years ago....my husband & I looked across from our ascending escalator to the escalator headed down and recognized a handsome man looking at us with a little smile spreading across his face as he sensed our recognition; he looked charming. His name-----OJ Simpson; how things change.

    Cool! I'm no baseball fan (being a Croat) but wouldn't mind meeting Matt Damon! Not at all! Lucky you! :)
