I still sometimes see Carla Hall and she's so tall and very stunning. Jose Andres looks just like on TV. Katie from Eats Place looks really young in person. Like a teenager. Same with the owner of Three Little Pigs Caroline.


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


Same here. It was many years ago, back before she was so well known. She was warm and funny -- definitely beautiful inside and out!


Carla Hall is very charming -- and very tall. (Met/talked to her at a party).

Saw Hoda Kotb jogging around Old Town this morning - no makeup. She's gorgeous!

I'm not wild about their show or the constant drinking, but I can't slam her appearance. Very, very pretty au natural.

Nicolas Cage in the 90's...tall, handsome and really dreamy grey eyes.
It was a work related function and all the young women at work went to meet him and to "make sure he had everything he needed", well he kind of looked each one of us in the eyes for just a few seconds too long...we all thought that he was interested...

John Cusack in the Capitol Hill starbucks -- actually looks better in person. Very soft spoken and polite.

Patrick Stewart the day after he won his Will award walking down East Capitol Street in shorts. He looked perfect!

I unfortunately was a wreck six weeks after having a baby. Oh well...

Gwenyth Paltrow, she is tall and thin but not attractive and seems full of herself.

I met Christy Brinkley at a spa about 6 months ago. While she was nice enough her reputation preceded her and honestly she has had way too much cosmetic surgery done. It almost makes her look older, she looks much better in pictures.

Jack Black was very cool and so nice. Also Clive Owen, sat next to him on a plane en route to Barcelona.

I was happyand surprised to see that most mentioned so far are "real" celebrities as opposed to the Famous for DC type celebrities.

had a friend who met Uma Thurman and yes, another vote for her looking beautiful in person, according to him

I had a conversation with Harvey Keitel and I just remember how short he is! Almost squeezably, adorably small
