[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not underwhelmed but somewhat enchanted by these two encounters had by DD.

The first was when DD was 9 and DH, DD, and I were getting out of an elevator as Luke Wilson, his wife (then girlfriend), and dog ([b]a dingo[/b]) were heading down the hall to get on elevator.  He was filming in NM.  DD had NO idea who Luke Wilson was, but she knew that she wanted to compliment the 'nice man and lady' on their 'cool dog' and so she did.  They both gave her huge smiles and Wilson said "he's really wiped out from a long hike today."  The whole encounter was so genuine and so lovely -- a really sweet look at celebrities who were being totally themselves, and I've always thought they were probably so relieved that we didn't ask for conversation or a picture and that DD clearly had no clue she was talking with a Hollywood star and his brilliant and talented SO (she's a former WBNA star and an attorney).

Last summer, when she was nearly 13, DD was on our hotel elevator by herself, heading to meet me at the pool, with two women whom she recognized as the stars of Riverdale (Madelaine Petsch and Camila Mendes, "Cheryl" and "Veronica").  She asked them for a selfie, which they graciously gave, and she thanked them and told me they were "so sweet."  She was by herself that time so I can only relate her impressions, although the selfie reveals great smiles on all three :).  That time, obviously, DD knew exactly what was going on :).

Our family doesn't travel to exotic locales, and even if we are in major cities like LA, we don't stay downtown or in the heart of Santa Monica, so we're not in celebrity havens, so to speak.  That's why it's been extra fun for DD to meet talented and kind people when one 'least expects it.'

They had a dingo? That's sort of surprising. Not questioning you or your honesty, just didn't know a dingo could be safely kept as a pet. [/quote]
