To find out more about our society’s fascination with celebrity culture, Bored Panda spoke with Claire Sisco King, the Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Communication Studies at Vanderbilt University. King explained that celebrity is defined by a number of paradoxes. “Celebrities often become sources of identification for their fans; audiences often imagine them as relatable or ‘just like us.’ At the same time, celebrities are aspirational figures who seem to lead extraordinary lives that are out of reach for most people.”

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 40 A-List Celebrities Okay, so a quick disclaimer first - this wasn't me, but my friend Dolly who was a flight attendant for a well known British airline until she died. She'd been with them since year dot, and as a result of her seniority would work in the First Class cabin. In her own words, she preferred it at the front of the plane, the nylon carpets at the back played havoc with her bunions..

ANYWAY,

One day she had a British "celebrity" called Katie Price onboard. Ms Price is famous for... umm.. having boobs and falling out of various bars, I think.

So, Ms Price comes on board, spots Dolly, and proceeds to spend five minutes listing her demands for the flight - namely that she should have total privacy, that anyone coming near her should be escorted away, that no crew approach her unless she calls them, and that Dolly herself would be held responsible if she was bothered at all, heads would roll, etc..

Dolly waited for her to finish her demands, and then said "Certainly madam. And you are.......?"

tl;dr No name "celebrity" makes OTT demands on plane, gets cut down to size by elderly Northern lady.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 40 A-List Celebrities I was an extra on X men: Days of Future Past. They were all nice. Jennifer Lawrence was the one that was the more meh with other people. I don't blame her too much... Peak hunger game popularity at the time I get it. She was probably afraid people would try to always give her too much attention...

However the other actors didn't care about that. The NICEST ones by FAR were Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy for what I saw.

For McAvoy, one of my friend was one of the extras right behind him in a scene and we were shooting 14 hours a day in cooking 40 degrees enclosed green screen bordered set in bright sunlight. We were running in high heels and wearing winter jackets... Basically a hellish day. And we couldn't sit anywhere! Well McAvoy saw my friend wasn't doing right and he let her sit in Professor X's chair and have a bit of his water bottle. And with that said, the dude would just talk and chit chat with everybody, despite the very strict non-conversation with actors contract we signed. He's just so chill.

Hugh Jackman literally signed autographs in between shots and high fived a bunch of people all the time.

Michael Fassbender told all set workers passing by him after a very long day of work battling in water to have a nice day. I was a huge fan of his at the time and it made my whole year at that point.

The professor explained that this tension between celebrities’ imagined ordinariness and extraordinariness seems to drive much of this fascination. “Because of their intense visibility, celebrities become almost like mirrors for their audiences who look for their own images in them; sometimes audiences see idealized versions of themselves in celebrities or versions to which they aspire.”

King continued: “Other times, comparisons to celebrities can leave fans feeling inferior. That sense of imagining or defining ourselves in relation to public figures, whether we find it pleasurable or painful, is a big part of much celebrity fandom.”

She refused to use a toilet if someone else had sat on the seat before her — cleaning them was never good enough, so we had to buy new toilet seats every time she came. Considering how much we already had to fix, the last thing we wanted to do was pointlessly replace perfectly good toilet seats. In contrast, Reba McEntire would always eat lunch with the staff and was always super chill.

Moreover, there are also cases in which audiences take pleasure in disidentifying with celebrities, the professor argues. “For instance, when they are involved in a scandal or make public missteps. Or, when celebrities experience tragedies, fans might find themselves identifying with the celebrities’ pain but might also feel relief that they themselves did not experience the tragedy.” Therefore, King argues that our fascination with celebrities is often characterized by mixed emotions and by vacillation between feeling close or similar to celebrities and feeling distant from or unlike them.

What’s also interesting about celebrity culture is that famous people also have a great deal of presence in people’s everyday lives—in film and television, on magazine covers and advertisements, and across social media. “And yet,” King states, “most people never actually come into contact with celebrities and experience them at a distance or only virtually.”In this way, they are visible to us but almost always out of reach. “This tension between presence and absence also seems to drive people’s desire for celebrities,” she explained.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 40 A-List Celebrities I'm from Vancouver, Canada (big film industry town), and a close family member of mine has worked in film here for 20 years, so I have too many stories to list. How about some rude ones, and some nice ones.

Gerard Butler. Around nine years ago he insistently pursued a friend of mine at a club/lounge. She wasn't interested and told him so. Instead of respecting her wishes, he approached us, her friends, and attempted to get her number from us without her knowing. He would not respect her boundaries, or respect that no means no.

Dedee Pfeiffer (Michelle Pfeiffer's sister) attempted to have my female family member (crew member) fired from the movie of the week they were working on because Dedee was threatened by my family member's appearance. This is not hyperbole. A producer told my family member "She's threatened by you because you're a petite blonde, like her, and you're outgoing and popular with the other crew members". My family member wasn't fired; Dedee was presumably told to cool her jets and focus on her job. Dedee Pfeiffer's ego really is, apparently, that delicate that she can't handle another woman around her having any kind of positive attention. Later on in the shoot Dedee was purging in a set toilet (she is bulimic) and her gag reflex wouldn't stop gagging, so she passed out and an ambulance was called.

David Duchovny circa X-Files. Frequent hissy fits on set, flipping garbage cans over, etc. Probably contributed 90% of Vancouver's stripper and escort income during the show's run.

John Travolta. Kind, professional man on set. Arrested while here filming Look Who's Talking in Stanley Park for soliciting sex from an undercover male VPD officer and discretely bailed out of jail at 2am by a producer.

Chad Gray, singer of Mudvayne and Hellyeah. I was in an autograph line where you had to buy the album at the show to be in the line back in 2005, at the peak of Mudvayne's success. This kid was in line in front of me, maybe 19 years old. He gets to his turn and says "hey man I've spent every free dime I have to see you guys when you're in the area since before your first album. I don't have much, but I love you guys so much, I saved all year to buy a festival ticket because of the meet and greet opportunity, it would make my dreams come true to take a picture with you guys" and takes out a sh*tty disposable camera. The rest of the band starts moving to take a picture when Chad tells him "no f*cking way" and directs security to confiscate the camera.

The year prior, a kid asked Cradle of Filth for a picture. The security guard moved in to confiscate the camera, and Dani stood up quickly, yelled at the guard to stop, and said "we tour this f*cking country once every two to three years and you're going to tell a loyal fan who paid money to meet us that he can't have a f*cking picture. You're taking the picture now. And you're going to take it enough times that we are sure he will have a perfect shot."

“In this regard,” King told us, “the tensions between identification and aspiration come into play. If I imagine I am like a celebrity who achieved what I define as success, then I can imagine that I might achieve similar levels of success as well; but because most of us do not achieve the level of wealth or renown as celebrities, the drive to keep following them, and even in some cases imitating them, persists for a lot of fans.”

Moreover, “the phrase 'keeping up' in the title of the Kardashians’ reality show really captures that impulse: fans follow celebrities in the hopes that they might emulate them or enjoy the kinds of privileges they seem to experience,” the professor concluded.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 40 A-List Celebrities When I was about 7 years old in the '70s, I was at the airport with my mom and her boyfriend and a friend of mine — my mom's boyfriend told us that Evel Knievel was in one of the lounges. He was sitting in a back corner, drinking a glass of some kind of booze, and engulfed in a cloud of cigarette smoke.

My friend and I approached him excitedly, and after he autographed some napkins, he looked at us and said, 'Before I give you these, I'm going to teach you something.' My friend and I looked at each other totally starstruck, and grinned like idiots. Evel proceeded to tap both of us on the arm and asked, 'Does that hurt?' and we both shook our heads no — then he poked us lightly on the chest and asked, 'Does that hurt?' and again, we both said no. Then he made fists out of both of his hands with the middle knuckles sticking out, and brought them down sharply and simultaneously onto both of our heads. 'Does that hurt?' he asked, and neither of us could answer — I was holding back tears from the pain. He waited a few seconds and said, 'That's why you wear a safety helmet,' and then handed us the napkins.

About ten years ago I worked for an airline and some flights were cancelled, due to weather. I got a call and this lady said, "I can't believe this is happening to me. I'm a celebrity. My name is Tovah Feldshuh. I'm a celebrity."

She literally said this 20 times. I got a manager on the line while she begrudgingly went on hold and relayed the info and that this was a celebrity. I stayed on the line while the manager had to explain that the flight's cancellation was for everyone's safety and nothing could be done about this.

She was so rude. After we got off the phone with her we looked her up and she was in a couple episodes of Law and Order, I think. She was recently on Walking Dead and I freaked out when I recognized her name in the opening credits.

Anytime she appeared on screen I had to say, "She's a celebrity!!!! I can't believe the zombie apocalypse is happening to her!!!! She's a celebrity!!!!"

Whenever I read about these people denying eye contact, requiring repainting of temporary offices etc, it makes me think that they desperately try to act the way they think that rich and famous people should act. It's sort of a game and facade they put up because they don't know how to behave in their position, they have just got the idea in their heads that this is what rich stars must do everywhere.

John Cusack drove me insane. He stayed at the hotel where I worked and would call every five minutes after he asked for something to "politely" ask what was taking so long. It took more than five minutes to get from the ground floor to his room, let alone prepare a snack ordered off-menu with ingredients that were already put away because it's 11PM and you're ordering goddamn breakfast, John.

I have dealt with royalty that is less demanding.

That said, Taye Diggs is amazing. He can live here for all I care and I honestly would like him to come back sometime. And Princess Nisreen El-Hashemite is, like, one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. Also, she's a superhero in the making, judging from her backstory.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 40 A-List Celebrities Peter Mayhew aka Chewbacca.

I accompanied my friend to a comic-con, who’s hobbies include getting autographs and photos of celebrities.

He was very short with us and didn’t care we were fans at all. He interrupts my friend in the middle of complimenting him for his work, stating the costs of a photo and an autograph.

Fine.

We ask if we can take a photo instead of one his photos he selling and he tells us we’ll still pay the full price of one of his photos.

Also fine.

As my friend goes to walk around the table to stand side by side, he shouts at us to stay on the other side of the table.

So we try our best to not look insulted, and take a super awkward picture of an annoyed Mayhew and my friend trying to lean back to make it look like they are posing for a fan pic.

We try to thank him right after but he brushes us off as soon as we hand him the cash.

D*ck.

In contrast, we met Margot Kidder aka Lois Lane. She was super nice and even let us take pictures pretending to be flying with her like in the movie! And it was her suggestion, too!

I was expecting something like this to crop up for Meyhew, having good friends among staffers at comic cons. He was a stellar and wonderful man, who was in chronic pain, and many comic cons for some reason had a thing about BARRING HIM FROM TAKING HIS PAIN MEDS! He was often short to people at comic cons because he was in serious constant pain that he was being prevented from being able to treat for up to twelve hours! The guy was amazing and loved his fans, but to meet them the event organisers would force him to writhe in untreated agony ¬¬

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 40 A-List Celebrities Neil deGrasse Tyson

I worked at the bookstore in college, and would pick up extra shifts working late night events when I had time. NDT was giving a speech, and holding a little meet and greet afterwards. I signed up to run a table selling his books.

After his speech, he comes in to the hall where I've got my table set up. He comes over, introduces himself, and asks which of the 2 books I liked better of his. 20 year old me has no idea who is he and didn't read either book, so I replied "I actually haven't read either. I'm just picking up an extra shift for the store". Well then he starts a 2 minutes rant, berating people my age for not being interested in science, didn't know who he was, blah blah blah. He finishes, I gave him a dumb blank stare, and he walked away. Talked down to me in a way that just made me feel like sh*t.

Once I met Mark Ronson at a music festival in the UK — my ex-boyfriend was a huge fan, so he asked for a picture. He was really cool and happy to be chatting with us, but there was someone standing next to him who repeatedly rolled her eyes at the two of us: Lily Allen. She continuously whined, 'Mark, Mark, Mark' while my ex was chatting with him — at one point she actually stomped her foot and gave us the finger when Mark's back was turned around. We had acknowledged her, but she just rolled her eyes at us.

I was working security for MTV Beach House in the summer of 2002, where Ja Rule and a group of other people were upstairs in the green room of the beach house. The lifeguard station was converted into the green room, so it had a very small and tight winding staircase. The PA brought up a bottle of generic water to Ja Rule and crew, but it was the 'wrong' water. He yelled at the PA, and when he turned around to go get him the 'right' water, Ja kicked him in the back of the legs and he went down the stairs. I was stationed at the front of the house and heard yelling and a bit of commotion, then a flood of water bottles and a PA came rolling down the stairs.

I once saw Michael Showalter on the street in San Francisco probably around 2009-2010 . I was a huge fan of the State and Wet Hot American Summer so I told him I was huge fan. He looked me dead in the eyes and said "who do you think you are, talking to me?". I kinda laughed thinking he was doing a bit but he was dead serious and said "no, don't laugh, I want to know why you feel like you can talk to me". It wasn't in a restaurant where he was with his family or anything, I really got the feeling he thought of himself better than anyone not famous. Ever since then I can't stand anything he's in or produces. Which sucks because he works a lot with one of the nicest celebrities I ever met -

Joe Lo Truglio who I forget where I met but he talked to me for maybe a half hour about comedy outside a store. Eventually his wife came out of the store and he introduced me to her, he remembered my name which doesn't seem like it'd be a big deal but made me feel like a million bucks.

John F*cking Cena.

Mr. “I always play a military role” himself was so rude to me in the Dallas airport. When I was in the military, I was coming home from pre-deployment training, and went up to him after he sat down. I said something to the effect of, “Hey, I don’t mean to bother you. I’m not looking for a picture or autograph or anything; I just want to thank you for all the support you give to us troops. We really do appreciate it,” and extended my hand. After a minute, he finally looked up from the game he was playing on his iPad, looked at my hand, looked at my face, and just had the most disgusted expression ever. Like I was a leper asking him to bless me. He reluctantly shook my hand, and went back to his iPad. Didn’t say a single word.

I was mind f*cked by that. Literally could not believe how rude he was to me. He puts on a good show for the cameras, but he proved to me that day that he couldn’t give a sh*t less about ACTUAL military members.

ETA: We were at the same gate, and had an hour or so wait time before our flight left, so I didn’t catch him at a bad time or when he was in a hurry. Literally just sitting at the gate at the airport.

Edward James Olmos. The dude that played Selena’s dad.

I was working at Disneyland, he comes up to my register and orders.

He was short and to the point, no pleasantries at all but I was used to that kind of treatment from guests. Most people just want to get their snack as soon as possible and go on their favorite ride.

But there was something on his receipt that he wasn’t happy with and he got angry with me. He used a gift card so the remaining balance was shown on his receipt.

He accused me of charging him more when that’s impossible to do with Disney’s POS system. Plus, I gave him his receipt so he could see I only charged him the items he ordered. I tried to explain that to him but he wouldn’t have it. He said he needed to talk to someone “higher” than me.

So I called my manager and it turned out that the missing balance he accused me of taking from his card was from the tip he gave to a restaurant he ate at on Disney property.

My manager gave him a full refund anyways. It was really frustrating because he was accusing me of being a thief but he got his way at the end. But that happens all the time at Disney.

I won’t say he was rude but kinda weird. I was in Vegas to visit a friend of mine. However, I was always a huge fan of Penn and Teller. So I booked tickets to their show, and decided to do something real nice. I drew pictures of them and had them in frames and stuff. After the show they usually meet and greet the people while they are leaving. I ran into to Mr. Teller first since he was closer to my side. I believe he wasn’t in a good mood that day, honestly. He was so rushed that it was obvious he wanted to get the hell out of there. After I took a picture with him I showed him his gift. I kinda wanted to take picture of him holding it as a memory, I really was looking forward to it. He acted surprised for like two seconds, and then gave the gift to the bodyguard next to him and rushed things so I leave him alone lol. I went to penn, took picture with him, and handed him his gift. He was super super nice and humble, he even showed it to the people were standing. He then hand-shook me, I could’ve easily asked for a picture of him holding the drawing but I didn’t because I’m a perfectionist and would feel something is missing since I didn’t get a picture of Teller holding it. I’m still a big fan of both of them. I refuse to Judge Teller for that, although my friends strongly disagree with that since they were there and seen it all. The dude is old and there were few people and it must be exhausting to do his work, so it wasn’t a big deal for me. I still want to see their show again and meet them again, if possible. I admire people who bring joy to others, as this is what they are doing.

Among the chaos of a bunch of photographers packed in the area between the barricade and the stage, I had lost my phone and didn’t notice until we were back in the red carpet room. I immediately started to freak out, and I went into the hallway because I started having a panic attack. I didn't realize that was the hallway the performers used to exit the room, and as I leaned against the wall crying, Demi Lovato walked out and proceeded to give me an extremely dirty look. They seemed disgusted and rolled their eyes as they walked by me, as if I was some devoted fan crying over them [instead of experiencing something traumatic].

My mom was a waitress in the Dallas area at the early days of wrestling when the WWE was still the WWF.

Wrestlers after a show would come to her restaurant and eat there cause it was close to the venue the performed at. She meet a lot of old school famous wrestlers before it was popular.

Apparently the Ultimate Warrior was a real as*hole who never tipped. Thats the only one she didn't like.

My sister was a cook at a nice resort in Canada — one time, Maria Bello's assistant called in, saying she was coming with a bunch of guests and they wanted a certain type of bread served with their meal. So, the restaurant went out of their way to make her party this certain type of bread [off the menu], only to have them not show up. It was a huge waste of food.

He's barely a celebrity, but Billy Mitchell (former video game champion who recently lost his title because of cheating) was at an arcade expo a few years ago selling his hot sauce.

I was the only one at his booth, with cash in hand. He pointedly ignored me for several uncomfortable seconds, then just walked the hell away! At the time, I was angry and thought about stealing one of the hot sauces out of spite... but now I realize I had a very on-brand Billy Mitchell experience; this is a much better story than "he posed for a photo and signed a bottle of his hot sauce; seemed like a nice guy."

Owen Wilson, met him at a nightclub when he was in town filming Shanghai Noon (or whatever the western one was). You’d think he’d be super chill, but he was a huge snob. And he let me (a 19yo girl) buy him drinks.

Funny anecdote, while I was talking to him my friend turned around to leave and walked straight into a glass wall instead of through the door in said glass wall. So his impression of us might have well been just as bad.

I worked at a publicity firm in Philadelphia while Tyler Perry was on a national press tour promoting Boo! A Madea Halloween in 2016. He flew in private with a 13-person staff, including personal chefs, assistants, trainers, manicurists, and dietitians. His team sat in the back of the plane while he sat alone in the front — he was then privately escorted from the airport while his team handled all of his luggage into a van.

His team sent our local agency a long list of demands and rules in anticipation of his arrival: Tyler wanted to be addressed/referred to as 'Mr. Perry,' we were prohibited to speak to him directly (only to his team), room temperature orange Gatorade had to be in his green room, furniture wasn't allowed in his press interview suite, ALL media/press had to travel to him (Mr. Perry wouldn't leave the hotel), and he wouldn't wait for anyone. I helped out with the local press tour, but I kept my distance from him — his entire team seemed terrified of him.

I was nervous about going up to him but I proceed to watch a young woman go up to him, show him her head shot, and take a picture with him. After he does this I have the confidence to strike so I stroll up and ask "Are you Samuel Jackson?" and he is like "Nah" so I proceed to ask "Are you sure? Im pretty sure you are Samuel Jackson" and he says "Nah you got me confused with someone else" and walks away. I was a massive fan before and now I will always associate him with that memory.

The other celebrities backstage joined in on the scene and took multiple pictures with the family — I asked Patrick Stewart if he'd mind taking a picture with them as well, and he said, 'Yes, I DO mind' and walked off. I haven’t watched Star Trek: The Next Generation or any X-Men movies he's been in since then.

I would absolutely HATE to be famous. I am not excusing the behavior of some of these people at all - some of them are absolutely appalling! But as I was reading them the thing that struck me the most was the constant barrage of fans. I am also not blaming the fans, but I can see how exhausting it must be to met with some kind of expectation literally every minute that you are out in public. I feel very strongly about being kind and respectful whether you are a celebrity or not but I think I would get a little crabby at all the attention all the time.

Ikr. Celebrities are still just human beings trying to do what they're paid to do, and they don't get paid for signing autographs and talking to people on the street. The little bit of downtime they have they just want their privacy. I'm sure on other days they're a lot more chill.

it's no different to any other profession really. There are times when you are being paid and expected to do your job and what it entails, when you're outside of that and just trying to get on with your private life you should be allowed to say no when people expect you to still act like you are 'on the job'.

To be honest: I think it's rude to walk up to a stranger and think you're entitled to his or hers time / picture / autograph. Yes, it's nice if they take the time for you, but they are perfectly allowed to turn you down. It's something else if the person comes to the place were you work (bar / restaurant / plane), they need your services and then behave in a bad way. That's rude.

Turning you down politely - sure. And everyone is allowed to have bad days (and I will acknowledge the stories about celebs having bad days and behaving badly are going to travel further and wider than mediocre nice stories). BUT, these people are famous because fans made them famous. They are rich and powerful because people made them like that, so if they have to “suffer” though a bit more fan attention than they may want to, U think that comes with the territory. I don’t always want to go to work but sometimes I have to suck it up and do it, and do it well, nonetheless.

Some of these "fans" seem to be "asshats" too. Especially the hotel stories make me angry. I worked in hotels for a long time and the first thing you learn is that you are NOT to annoy guests, follow them around and ask for autographs, no matter how famous they are. Discretion is the most important thing in a hotel, so these stories going "I worked at the hotel celebrity xy stayed in so I went to get their autograph" should have gotten them fired.

The bad: Tony Randall. In a restaurant he was sitting with Lynn Anderson. It was not crowded unless you consider the big table with Anne Meara and others working on the show. They had finished eating some time before and were nursing their coffee. Another talent for the show stopped to talk to them briefly. When he left, a girl about 10-12 who had been waiting for a very long time approached with her paper and pen. Randall shooed her way - "not while I'm eating". He had finished eating ages ago. The girl was crushed. The good: Arnie Palmer. He was in town for the Pro-Am. Eating at a favorite restaurant of mine was signing autographs. The owner approached him to offer him a more private table. Arnie thanked him but turned him down. He made a comment about appreciating his fans. Later, at his plane, after he had paid all those to whom he owned money for the weekend, and signed a lot of autographs, I got a picture with him. Bob Hope was also there and was friendly.

I’m not really a name and shame sort of person. Whatever interaction I’ve had with a celebrity I’ve no idea what they’ve been through just before and I don’t complain. I will say who was extra nice though. The names that stand out are The Smashing Pumpkins, Robert Plant, Noddy Holder, John Nettles, Jenny Agguter and Glynn Purnell. I also do apologise to Mel C (sporty spice) for opening a door into her face and nearly taking her eye out. She was very nice about it. I need to apologise to Lord Courtenay for his having to retrieve his dog, I think she was called Ora, she’d taken a real fancy to my dog and was dead set on following us home. Again he was really nice about it.

I think a cigar shouldn't exceed 30 or 40 minutes, because have some sympathy for your lungs, and smoking longer than that actually never is any joy, but just hard work to finish something that was a guulty pleasure, if even a pleasure at all - depends on who is to -, to begin with.

His brother was a schoolteacher in northern VA, and he came from filming "Kojak" to spend Easter with family. Also met Jimmy Stewart - NICE man. Marlon Perkins was okay.

If they didn't want the attention then they should not have become celebrities. People will always want to meet them if given the chance because they are famous. That being said I wouldn't want that but if that was the job I chose I would just know that unfortunately that is part of it. At least be nice when you tell someone no. That's it just be a decent human being and treat them the way you would want to be treated. And fans need to be respectful of the stars and not just assume they want to be harassed. If they say no say ok I understand. If everyone would just be kind and respectful of each other celebrities or not things would be a lot better in the world. If the stars is disrespectful stop liking them, stop buying their products and eventually the jerky stars will get weeded out.

I totally get that it's inexcusable for celebrities to be rude on events held specifically for fans to meet their stars, like conventions or movie premieres etc. But if you run into a celebrity "in the wild" during their everyday life? Take a step back. There is no need to make their life hard just so you get a picture or autograph out of it.

Blade Runner is one of my all-time favourites, so when I heard Sean Young and Edward James Olmos were doing a fan signings, I was invested. When I arrived to the signing area there was no one lined up for either actor, so I just beeline towards Sean Young. Sean Young was so, so lovely and down to earth. We chatted for a bit and it was so effortless. Took a selfie and she signed my badge and still wanted to chat on. I arrived nervous, and walked away elated. However... Edward James Olmos is someone I wished I avoided. He came off self-absorbed and annoyed by me. So I made quick with the signing. I understand they are actors, they owe me nothing but the bare minimum of whatever they're charging.. If you ever have a chance to meet Nichelle Nicols, do it. She's absolutely one of the warmest people I have ever met.

I selected a pic from Blade Runner to get sign. I noticed he wrote for a while, and when we walked away, I saw that he'd written out a quote from the movie.
