About 20 years ago, I had the good fortune of having Luke Perry in the office next to me at work on the Fox lot. He wasn't there very often, but when he was we'd chat like old friends. He was really the opposite of his "cool character" persona - very nice, humble, fun, down to earth. When I saw the news today I wanted to share with others about the wonderful man I got to know many years ago.

People are people. Pointing a camera at them doesn't make them anymore special than an average joe. Never did understand people that get "star struck"

Since high school I have been often compared to Keanu Reeves looks wise - in 1998 when the first Matrix was being filmed in Sydney, I spotted him having lunch at a cafe - bear 2 things in mind, I wasn't a particularly big fan of his, and I looked like S**T at the time as I was a casual heroin user. I introduced myself and had quite a decent chat, the only thing I could think to say was that I related to and loved his role in My Own Private Idaho - he gave me a great rant about Gus Van Sant being the most perfectionist/difficult film maker he has ever worked with, and he was pushed to another level as an actor, etc. Anyway, I got to the "do you think I look like you" question - there was a massive mirror there, he got up, put his arm around me and faced the mirror - his response? "Nah dude - you're better looking"

I feel like I have seen a celebrity before...but I can't think of it...did I or did i not..?

I use to work as a Cocktail Server at a Harrah's Casino in St. Louis. Natalie Cole was performing there later in the night. She sat in my high rollers slot section in the back it was empty . I was told to just leave her alone but I was walking around the area she asked politely for a glass of water and I brought it to her. She just sat there playing slots for like 30 mins then left. it was strange.

I don't know anyone famous, but my dad went to high school with Ann Wilson of Heart in Bellevue, WA.

A friend of mine ran to the QFC Store in Redmond, WA for a quick bite of lunch. As he stood in line he saw a sturdy grey haired man mumbling to himself in front of him. He recognized the Scottish accent right away. But it wasn't until the man went to pay for his groceries that he confirmed it was James Doohan who played Scotty on Star Trek. My husband and I saw him several months later screaming down the freeway in a Black Merkur Scorpio with the license plate "DooFame" on it. I told my husband he was certainly traveling at warp speed.

Malcolm McDowell was right in front of me at the Fairmont Hotel's cafe. I didn't know it until after I had said that almond croissant looks so yummy. He looked to his left and gazed upon the buttery flaky goodness I had just pointed out. I'm now elbowing my husband who is behind me mouthing look look. When Malcolm approached the counter ordered his coffee and one almond croissant stating that it indeed looked quite good. He was talking with the young woman taking his order who must have waited on him previously, I over heard him say he was in town (San Francisco) for work. Another time I was at a Sci-Fi convention in Massachusetts, it was held in a rather nice hotel in Framingham. There were of course some stars/actors there but we didn't pay the hundreds to see them, just the basic entrance fee. Well the set up was a bit confusing and we wandered into the high priced ticket area. No sooner did we realize we were there than someone said "this way Mr Shatner".

When I was in the third grade we had a school trip to a ranch just outside Capitan New Mexico that had a small herd of bison. We get to the ranch house, and the owner of the ranch gives a small speech about safety even though the animals are in a special pen, then we all load up on the bus again. Everyone is being weird, but I sit right next to the guy and we talk nonstop for the 35-minute ride to get to the bison location, laughing, cracking jokes, swapping horse stories. We get off the bus and everyone is freaking out because I was talking to the movie star, and OMG I WASENT EVEN SCARED! I MADE HIM LAUGH! The owner of the ranch was Ronny C*x, and I was completely clueless LOL

I saw Fran Drescher at the first Women's March in DC. She cut everyone in the extremely long bathroom line that I was standing in, claiming she had to hurry because she had to speak soon. She did not speak that day.

I used to work in a grocery store Vancouver BC ,Paul Hyde from the Payolas came in I had to serve him , I acted cool as if I didn’t know who he was, as he was about to leave I asked him, “ has anyone ever told you that you have the eyes of a Stranger “, he said nobody’s ever said that to me before

"Hey, Paul" while walking up 5th Ave. ... Paul Giamatti just smiles, says "hello," waves and keeps walking ...

Walking up Broadway and I hear this guy bragging about himself in a loud voice ... thought to myself "who is this clown" ... when I turn around, it happened to be Savion Glover (I recognized his trademark hairstyle) ... I just shook his hand said "what's up Savion" ... missed opportunity as the "Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk" soundtrack had just been released that day ... got to see him perform as a headliner at NJPAC a few months later ...

Did they change the title again?

When I worked at the CNE in Toronto back in the 90's, I served Whoopi Goldberg and Dan Aykroyd a couple of Ice Cold Cokes :) For a whopping $1.25 each. They were so pleasant, it was a neat experience.

Met Ricky whittle, now in American gods but when he was in his hollyoak days at a charity football event lovely bloke and got what he deserved, can't say the same for Jamie lomas, Warren fox in hollyoaks

I remember a while back I was at The Grove (mall in west LA) with my friend and she very quietly said, hey look there's Eva Mendes. I said in a very normal voice...really??? and turned around. We were both just looking and smiling and as soon she looked at us doing that, she ran like she was being chased by the cops, like she thought we were going to bother her or something which I had NO intentions of doing. I was thinking "whatever lady, as least someone recognized your a*s". I was not really a big fan and from that day on never will be. I also ran in Ryan Seacrest in Sunset blvd while celebrating my bday and he wished me a happy bday and even took a picture with me and all my friends. He was a really cool guy.
