I do have a couple experiences. One was back in 2002, I worked on the movie "Bruce Almighty" with Jim Carrey. In the industry I am what you call a propmaker. We are the lower class of the industry." Below the the line", is what it is referred as. Any way Jim Carrey the day after the shooting finished, rented 6 Flags Magic Mountain Amusement Park for 300 cast & crew members and gave each 4 tickets Max attending 1200 people . Parking, Food,All Rides were all taken care of. The place was like ghost town. Jennifer Anston, Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman were all there. My son got a picture and autograph I will need to find to post them.
Definitely Bono and Edge from U2. My sister and I flew to Boston to see two shows on the Vertigo Tour in May 2005. The first show we waited for a few hours outside the Fleet Center loading dock. Adam Clayton drove by, but he's the only one we saw. The second show, the weather was decidedly colder, and there was a constant drizzled outside. The crowd of fans was quite small, but we stuck it out. Around 5:30, I decided that this just wasn't happening, so I ran back to the hotel across the street to put my coat in my room. I got a call as soon as I opened the door to my room: "Edge just pulled up." Great I thought - blown opportunity. I decided to take a quick bathroom trip - and another phone call came in. This time it was a guy's voice saying, "Hi, how you doing." Yes, Edge called me while I was taking a leak.
I started back to the Fleet Center and saw a group of about 10 - 15 people huddled around an SUV. I made it back in time to meet Bono! My sister had already like locked arms with him, lol. She grabbed my CD from me and gave it to Bono , saying,"Could you sign this - he just got back from Afghanistan." Bono looked straight at me and said "Afghanistan, really?" and signed my CD with the inscription "Glad you're back."
Being a huge U2 fan, this was a moment to treasure.
Wow, so many to name, Joe Di Maggio in a lobby of a hotel, Jimmy Stewart and Ringo Starr at the Jimmy Stewart Marathon, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt outside back of Golden Globes but maybe the easiest ever was heard Roger Staubach was doing a speech at a downtown LA hotel and I pulled into valet to check out the layout and as I get out of car up comes Roger from doing a morning jog. I greeted him and asked how his run went and we talked for a couple mins and I told him why I was there he looked shocked but walked over to my trunk as I opened it and signed all my items. I was in/out 10 mins and got 4 things signed. Lots of autos at the radio station KLOS but my fave was an accidental one I was outside a bldg in Beverly Hills and a limo pulled up and George Burns got out. I talked to him and we sat down on a bench and he smoked a cigar complaining about the smoking laws. He signed a blank card for me as I was unprepared.
