I was so drunk I was like "OMG, Ben Stiller, i LOVED something about mary!" (this was a few years after that came out--2000ish. He was kind of annoyed...
He's a jerk, by so many accounts. I haven't met him but I went to a film panel thing he was on. He looked like a caveman in person- gigantic head, hunched over...
I have met Sonia Sotomayor, Sandra Boynton, Joshua Bell, Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter, Carson Daly, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Topher Grace, Bill Paxton (R.I.P.), various Whose Line is it Anyway people, Mike Myers, Kate Flannery from The Office (which I never watched, I met her before that) and lots of bands/ musicians. I worked in the music industry for a looong time. I was probably the most nervous meeting Scott Thompson, because I had been a fan for so long (and by that time I had generally gotten over my fear/ awe of famous people, since I worked for them, but for some reason, I was very anxious). He was so sweet.
I avoided bumping into Blythe Danner (literally) at the NY Film Festival last year. She's so tall, she would have knocked me right over.
