I would normally never had known who he was, but soap opera fans may know: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0437088/?ref_=tt_cl_t6

It was right when Karate Kid 3 came out, and we were waiting in line at Chicagos by in Dupont circle (now Buffalo billiards I think). My only "celebrity" sighting. He was very good looking, but also quite an ass.

I saw Daphne Zuniga during the Melrose Place height - in a first class airline club. She swore like a sailor and was very diva - was pretty though.

Pink - striking, owns the room when she walks in.


Considering she's had a nose job and other facial work and a boob job and her natural hair color is brown, this is an interesting way to describe her, LOL.

Wesley Snipes in NYC. Wearing jeans and a turtleneck sweater. Gorgeous. And I never thought twice about him before.....

Bruce Springsteen and his wife (name?) sat next to us in a Restaurant. She was gorgeous. Better looking in person than in videos....beautiful skin and hair and figure and clothes. He looked just like you'd imagine. Complete with jeans and leather jacket.

Queen Latifah by the pool in LA. Shorter than I would have imagined.

Meryl Streep at a fundraiser. Fuller figured than I would have thought. Very plain hairstyle and makeup.

John Travolta. Shorter than I thought.

Like Vanessa Williams- there are a lot of raggedy 'almost Vanessa Williams- looking 'women that I've seen, but I've never REALLy thought it was her.

My DH looks and sounds like someone famous to the point where people take their photo with him all the time and want his signature even when he tells them he's not him.


I know my Vanessa Williams sighting was real because I was interviewing her for an article.
She looked lovely and was very nice.

Interesting. I saw him in the street once and don't remember his as "short." Now, Sylvester Stallone, that is another story. I about laughed when I saw him on the street in New York. Explains why his "leading ladies" in the movies are actresses we've almost never heard of - they have to look far and wide to find women shorter than he is!


I met him about 20 years ago at a strip club. He clearly lies about his height (like Tom Cruise) and must wear lifts. He has to be around 5'7".


My DH has met Tom Cruise. DH is 5'8" and he said that TC was considerably shorter than him-- 5'6" at best.

I've met Carla a couple of times. She is really is stunning! A real sweetheart, too.

Forgot to add: Michael Voltaggio is so hot in person. On top chef he looks a little goofy but IRL he's handsome and smooth.

James Patterson - he looked like a nondescript older gentleman. He was pretty nice, although it would stand to reason since I saw him at a book signing.

Brad Pitt circa late 90s. Was at an after party with him though tons of people surrounding him. Gorgeous back then with his blonde blonde hair and short.

Also Antonio sabato jr 10 years ago. Short but just stunning. Smiling and beautiful dimples. Seemed like a friendly approachable guy.
