As a kid I lived in San Francisco, where my mom and a friend or hers found out where they were filming "The Streets Of San Francisco ". While they were taking a break in the filming the stars were off to the side not really taking pictures or interacting with anyone except the horse that was the police horse in the shot and all I wanted to do was pet the horse. Normal horse crazy little girl . Mom had other plans. She told me she would pay me 5$ to get a picture with Micheal Douglas. So not realizing this might not be the way to phrase it I walked up to him and asked if he would mind taking a picture with me like I was the important one. He did laughing about it the whole time ( only person to get a picture) but the kicker was after I thanked him I hollered "Okay mom Pay Up". He lost it and signed an autograph for mom and paid me the 5$ from his own pocket. And made sure I got to pet the horse. I was in cloud 9 for a long time after that

I've had a few but only one I can say was a surreal celebrity encounter and it was with Philip Seymour Hoffman. I grew up in NYC and liked hanging out at the Greenwich Village Waterfront. One night I'm sitting on the steps waiting for my ex and bff to come back and this lil boy runs my way and jumps on top of me, like a child that jumps on you ready for a hug. Philip runs towards us apologizing, I told him no need being that I have a child the same age, so he sits next to me and we start to chat. I kept thinking who is this man and then remembered The Talented Mr. Ripley, kept it to myself and it was the best thing I did because we had a nice chat, he pointed out his building and told me to come by with my daughter for a play date and told me to ask for Phil. It's was super surreal and he was very friendly and down to earth. It's a shame that he is gone.
