[quote] An ex-Boyfriend moved to Hawaii and was a neighbor of Jim Nabors.

I lived around the corner from Larry Kings brother,, a few blocks away from Dick Van Dukes granddaughter.

My parent knew Reuben Sturman, “the Walt Disney of porn “ from PTA.

The Wonder Years used to film in the city where my aunt lives. They would film at the local high school (Rosemead High School) and she got a good glimpse of Fred Savage.

R11, my aunt and uncle were friends with Jan Michael Vincent and his brother. I think my uncle went to school with Jan’s brother. My aunt had a couple of group pictures hanging up inside the house.

My current friend drove taxis and limos on the Las Vegas Strip for 30 years and has hundreds of stories to tell. Met pretty much everyone, including many porn stars (straight). For some reason porn stars spend a lot of time in Las Vegas.

Not really a celebrity, but I used to be friends with Markiplier because we went to the same gym and coincidentally Jacksepticeye through a cousin. Saw Mark naked and on a separate occasion got mooned by both Mark and Jack. Phenomenal asses. God, I miss Cali.

My sister-in-law was a female lead in a cult classic film.

My friend Helen's aunt and John Lennon dated as teenagers. About 15 years ago she threw out all his love letters to her, thinking "Who'd want these?"

I'm your average caftaned DataLounge Queen of a certain age, and i think I know every celebrity, but especially members of the British royal family, whom I profess to have intimate knowledge of, despite their living in castles behind big walls and never granting interviews.

I've said this on DL before: I was friends in high school with Peter Krause of "Six Feet Under" and "Parenthood" and "Sports Night." (He's now on some cop show I've never seen.) We were in a play together his senior year and would hang out , although we lost touch when we went to college in different parts of the country. (He was also in the class ahead of me.)

I know I have more.

R15, Love you for simply using the moniker "Cousin Brucie"! Man, back in the day, WABC was IT, even for this Pennsylvania Frau(lein)!

My father was taught the trombone from the father of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. Guess what instrument I learned....

I stepped in a blob of Harvey Weinstein’s jism in my bare feet — how much separation is that?

I knew Marisa Tomei and her parents a little. We're not besties but they know my name and we've driven a couple places together, it's a long story. I like them very much especially Marisa's mom.

I was on Law & Order: SVU once, but Mariska Hargitay was not in my scene, so I was bummed. While sitting in my dressing room with the door open (I was dressed, just waiting to be fetched) she was hanging by the hair/make-up room right by my door and stuck her head in and said hi. I was thrilled, lol.

My best friend/roommate briefly dated one of the Village People who was a real kook, but harmless.

My grandma was a guest on the Art Linkletter show to discuss adoption.

One of my co-workers was neighbors and good friends with DL fave Rosie O’Donnell in the 70s.

Fun thread!

I've known several of the late John Ritter's (and his pop Tex's) relatives. A cousin worked for me a few years back.

My grandmother's cousin married one of the Vanderbilts.

1-degree of separation from very famous, international celebs both American and European. I have no connection to the industry but end up meeting people in the field a lot. No idea why. It's actually weird, if I think about it. Examples: Madonna, Catherine D. (French), some of the Downton actors, Andy C. (Bravo), etc. etc. too many to name.

This is not a humble brag, Believe you me, half the time, I wish I didn't know many of these people.

Richard Dreyfuss leased the main house of a property where I was already the tenant of the guest house. While living there, he started seeing the actress who would later become his first wife (Jeramie Rain). I used to sometimes dog sit her adorable Bassett Hound named "Jenny."

I worked backstage in the 1980s and saw Bernard Sumner from New Order shooting up, and one of the Farrelly Brothers from INXS having a blow job.

I'm one degree from Keith Haring.

A friend of mine walks John Mulaney's dog. She said he's a surprisingly nice guy but he clearly has trouble talking to people and gets flustered easily.

My cousin was in prison with Charles Manson and my husband knows President Carter.

Completely forgot my other HS connection - I went to high school with Slade Smiley, one of the Real Housewives husbands. He was a complete douche back in the 1980s (I graduated 1986, he graduated 1988). Had no idea he was "famous" until a client was talking about "this douchebag named Slade" she'd seen on TV the night before and I made the connection.

And this guy was my (and Slade's) HS chemistry teacher. He was a horrible teacher. His brother taught astronomy and wasn't much better - also taught at our HS.

Tongues r75? My cousin is friends with Brian May of Queen.

Clearly, one of the most insane DL threads. But R47 wins it!

I came in Joan Rivers' ass.

I was Jeffrey Dahmer’s sex slave.

One degree to the Boston bomber.

I went to bible camp with Lambchop.

My sister lived next door to Ted Bundy. Thank god she didn’t part her hair down the middle.

Joe E Brown—Osgood Fielding in Some Like it Hot—a distant cousin

My boss—-Trotsky’s great grand daughter

A colleague—Jackie Kennedy’s half nephew

My friends data analyst—-former porn star Dale Cooper

I used to live next door to Lucy Liu before she became famous. She used to make paintings in our shared driveway, On Valentines day she left all the neighbors candy, but without a note. Very sweet gal but odd.

I also went to Marcia Wallace's wedding.

Oh! I almost forgot. I attended a funeral where Justin Trudeau was present. The church was small, so I got a good, sustained view of him the entire time. I didn't realize that he would be there, and wondered why the parking lot was crawling with security guys.

[quote]I spent a long time with a celebrity chef.

Did he BAM you real good?

Hot in person, R105?

I had drinks with Ann Beattie, before she quit drinking. We had fun, but she was too hung over to meet me for the beach the next day.

Lots of drinks, I guess. At the upstairs bar at Backstreet in PTown, years ago.

I was a bridesmaid at Charlemagne's wedding.

Happened to be staying a a hotel which hosted a reception for exiled former minister of Thailand, Taksin Shinawatra. Very charismatic but short even for a ?Thai. Lots of elderly Sino-Thia tycoons and middle aged women with too much plastic surgery. This was before he was elected PM.

Another disgraced former Prime Ministr, General Chatchai Choonhaven lived down 5he street from me in a large compound. He’s used to ride around on a Harley Sportsrer in full leather regalia which must have been hot in that hot climate, . Met a cousin of 5he King of Thailand at a funeral. She was 100 years old and very much crippled by arthritis, but spoke perfect English and had all her marbles. Very witty.

R109, OMG, he’s my many great-great grandfather!

These are through co-workers in the Boston area. One grew up with Bobby Brown and went to his wedding to Whitney. Donnie Wahlberg went to school with another ones daughter and she used to drive them to school and give him lunch money because the family was so poor at the time.. Another one was neighbors with the Wahlbergs and hung around with Mark Wahlberg as kids. Said his reputation as hellion child was well deserved. Another’s husband was at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School at the same time as Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Knew them but not friends. And finally a co-workers father was first cousins with Judy Holliday. He showed me a picture of his family with her taken in the late 50’s. He was very young so he doesn’t remember her.

Like r90, I worked for a backstage catering company, but in the mid to late 90s, in Vancouver. Met or at least interacted with a long list of celebrities this way, some standouts being Britney Spears (nice but flaky and distant), Alice Cooper (really nice guy), the Violent Femmes (the bassist was a creepy asshole, the rest were fine), Radiohead (didn't so much as acknowledge us and were generally rude to everyone, I think they just hated playing Vancouver, I think this was the tour they did that silly documentary about portraying Thom Yorke as a fame-martyr, Yorke gets my personal Biggest Asshole award from my time in that job, he acted like a snide petty spoiled brat), Pearl Jam (strong "cool guys on campus" vibe, distant but not rude), Frank Black (post-Pixies, best celeb I ever met, super nice and interesting guy, stayed late just to chat with backstage crew, opened for Pearl Jam).

This thread explains why DL has no interesting gossip.

My aunt's husband worked with Dana Carvey's brother, Brad, on some brainy computer things.

When he was a teenager, Carson Daly lived across the street from my parents. His mother, Pattie, was quite upset when he announced he wanted to go to seminary and become a priest.

R62 As a former Marine, I am most impressed with your grandparents' friendship with General Smedley Butler. Very interesting character. All the current praise for Jim Mattis should be filtered through Smedley Butler's history.

My husband once took Liza tobogganing.

Yes, R107, definitely!

My roommate in Los Angeles years ago was a production assistant on "Saved by the Bell." I came home one afternoon to find Mario Lopez eating lunch in the apartment.

A pro skateboarder hit me up on Daddyhunt some time ago. He was into older bear types and we chatted for a few hours that night. He was a sweet guy, charming and funny, although deeply closeted. He tried to persuade me to go to Las Vegas with him for the weekend, all expenses paid. He was a bit drunk and I was in a relationship, so I turned him down, even though I was sorely tempted. Probably a good thing, as when I hit him up a couple of days later, he was sober and not so interested, or so interesting. I do occasionally wonder what would have happened had I taken him up on the offer.

[quote]A pro skateboarder

Tony Hawk? Outside of him, who's famous?

That was several years ago and I'm not going to out him, R121. I'll freely confess that he was only famous if you're into skateboarding and know the players there, so not exactly a household name to everyone else.

For the other connection, let me just say that Mario Lopez was absolutely gorgeous in person, as well as being a nice guy. I had to go hide out in my room to avoid embarrassing myself.

My grandfather knew Jimmy Hoffa.

You know what we're going to ask, R123...

Went to CCD with Dermot Mulroney in elementary school/jr high. He was a very small child and rarely spoke.

My grandfather's sister's best friend's mother's aunt knew someone of such little consequence you couldn't call them famous but I'll post it here on DL . She knew the postman!

I went to high school with Regina George and she punched me....it was awesome

I worked at Warner Bros for several years. Meeting cast members was not a big thing. Grandma Walton ate lunch in the cafeteria whenever they were filming She went through the line in front of me. We talked. John Boy made the gay stare at me. Never really sure.

Angie Dickenson was the friendliest. She would model her skimpy outfits when she left the makeup house. We all laughed with her.

Wonder Woman star, Lynda Carter, was also very friendly. She met a bunch of employee's kids from the lot on set and spent time talking to them.

Except for the nude scenes, we could watch any TV show or movie being made on set. It was fun.

My Dad graduated from high school with Sharon Stone.

Johnny Cash is a second cousin. I got to hang out with Carol Channing and walk her out onstage to give an award.

My grandparents were Valet and Lady's Maid to Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and Lady Ashley (Sylvia). They were married, but had to pretend to be brother and sister in order to get their jobs. (Fairbanks died while they worked for them.)

When I was in college I worked as a phlebotomist in a hospital where the well-knowns came. Drew a lot of famous peoples' blood and have a bunch of personal shit I could tell. But that would be violating HIPAA. Just know that people do and say some shit when they're sick and in a private hospital room.

I worked for Stewart Copeland’s father.

[quote]r63 I used to be friends with MARKIPLIER, because we went to the same gym, and coincidentally JACKSEPTICEYE, through a cousin

Did their moms read a lot of nursey rhymes, or something?

My sister went to school with Jesse Bradford and John Mayer.

Around 2000 (A.D.) I was reaching into the frozen section at Ralph's supermarket when Steven Weber suddenly appeared and started taking something out of the case, too.

No, I am not making this up. It was definitely the 80s actor Steven Weber, buying orange juice concentrate.

We still think about each other from time to time, I'm sure.

My sister was in a long forgotten B movie called "Swarm".

I sucked off armistead maupin in a san francisco sex club in the early eighties.

My straight brother sold a car to JoAnne Woodward back in the 80’s. Oh how it steamed me that he had no appreciation nor even knowledge of her career.

He described her as “Paul Newman’s wife.”

Just stab me in the heart, Mike, just stab me in the heart right now.

My maternal grandfather was famous director Herbert Ross's second cousin (I think) and so I am related by marriage to Lee Radziwill and thus Jackie O. Top that! (I'm kidding, I'm kidding)

Went to elementary school with a Beastie Boy, and also with Laura Albert, the perpetrator of the JT Leroy hoax. Was childhood best friends with a woman popularly known as Deidre Dare, who became involved with a somewhat infamous freedom of speech legal case again her former employer for running a soft core porn blog loosely based (or not) on her exploits working as a lawyer in Russia.

My mother knew Ralph Blum, the author of The Book of Runes,” a new-agey fortune telling system.

Served Al Roker an ice cream cone at Haagen Dazs (he was super grumpy).

Alec Baldwin was madly crazy bewitched with my best female friend at NYU, 1979-80. He would come over to the dorm every single day with his (formerly) puppy dog eyes and just STARE at her wistfully.

He wasn’t an ass then, either.

Sadly for him, Maddie could not have been less interested. Years later I found out that Maddie was gay, too, she just didn’t realize it at the time.

One of my grandmothers was a theatrical agent who 'discovered' Ann-Margret.

Michael Gelman of the Regis show stepped on my foot at the doors to ABC.

My mother graduated in same class as Paul Newman at Shaker Heights High School.

I have Amy Smart's old bed in my lake cottage

Teaser: My paternal grandfather and a famous Hollywood actor's paternal grandmother are brother and sister. I think that makes us 1st cousins once removed. We have not met.

You should've smacked him even before he stepped on your foot.

I went to film school with Justin Lin, the director. We weren't friends and he wasn't that great.

I am very close friends with an actress who I guess would be considered C list but she's worked consistently in Hollywood for 20 years. Lots of guest star roles on shows like Castle, Longmire, SWAT, 24, Criminal Minds, Lost, etc. She has hundreds of stories but my favorite is when she was working as an "earwig" for Michael Gambon (Dumbledore). Her job was to say his lines into his ear piece during a movie he shot with Dustin Hoffman. Guess he didn't want to learn his lines. During an intense scene where he had a lot of dialog, she slipped in, "You're a wizard, Harry" and he said it, then stopped and said, "Oh you CUNT." Cracks me up every time she tells the story. She also said Dustin Hoffman was a bit of a nightmare. He was begging her to be HIS earwig and not Gambon's. Weirdo. She just did a film with Glenn Close recently that was a low budget indie and that Glenn was really sweet and down to earth.

Did he call her a cunt angrily or in good humor?

I forgot one: my best friend in junior high babysat Wentworth Miller!

[quote] Angie Dickenson was the friendliest.

R128, some good stories, glad to hear Angie was friendly.

The son of a family friend is in the RCMP and he often worked Justin Trudeau's security. The only interesting story I heard is one where Trudeau was in Niagara Falls and they were filming The Today Show with Ryan Seacrest. The Today Show wanted to feature a couple of Mounties, so the RCMP obliged and allowed two members to appear on camera - one male and one female. Seacrest complained about the female because her breasts weren't big enough for TV.

I used to know an architect and his spouse. I was closer to the spouse, so the stories are from the spouse.

Tom Cruise: had a house built in Aspen (I think that was the location) for himself and his DL BF. Architect himself did not work on the house, this was gossip from the Architect (told to spouse, told to me).

Sharon Stone: Architect worked on one of Phil Bronstein's houses (Stone's ex-husband, SF Examiner). Architect overheard a voice mail from Sharon Stone: loud, demanding, and bitchy (this was after they had broken up).

Several degrees of separation, so take it with a grain of salt.

I don't really want to name names and accidentally dox myself, but … I've been taught by a number of people who are famous in academia; obviously, I'm also connected to a number of others through my university friends.

In my misguided youth, I was also friends with and had a (probably misguided) crush on another student who is now up-and-coming in his field. (I've no idea why, at the time, I didn't find any significance to my disinterest in fucking him.)

I blackmailed Alan Bates, tried to threaten him into marrying me and forced his young male lover away from the London clinic when he was dying or else I would call the tabloids. I got 150 k from him and then played nurse for the media.

R153 why don’t you fuck off? If you are not going to name names then don’t bring your tired lying ass here. Seriously. You’re a waste of web space on here if you can’t give a name. Might as well keep it to yourself pseudo goody two shoes.

A second cousin was Robin William's first wife, Valerie. The baby announcement for their son was a hologram of the baby with a top hat, sunglasses and some type of crazy costume. ( Can't exactly remember, I was a kid when his son was born.)

My brother-in-law's first cousin Cindy was A-Rod's first wife. We did enjoy Yankees tickets from time to time, but he's considered a piece of trash by the family now.

A co-worker was Craig Bierko’s stepmom.

Picture this: Faye Dunaway, Frisbee-ing Lenox china plates she got as a wedding present across the lobby of the Belvedere, a luxury apartment building in Boston's Prudential Center, at her then-husband, Peter Wolf's (J. Geils Band) head as she chased him through the lobby during a monumental fight. Circa 1978 according to my friend Bobby, then the building's manager.

Dunaway married four more times. Wolf, presumably scarred for life by their union, never married again.

Where is the fucking lettuce when you need it?

My mother has a good friend who went to high school with Hilary and said she was a total cunt. My word, not my mother's. The old gal would never use that word but she pretty much said it without saying it.

Lucille Ball bought a brownie from me at the Provincetown Playhouse concession stand.

Greg Mullavey from “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” fame was also there that night, and even though I thought he was hot, who cared? All eyes on Lucy.

I once stood next to a cardboard cut-out of the Charmin Man, Mr. Whipple (Please don’t squeeze the Charmin.) I remember his proximity, and the way I could practically feel the tickle of his mustache on my neck. God, if only he had been real.

Mr. Whipple squeezed a lot of fruit but heaven help you if you squeezed the Charmin.

Your fuckin aunt saw Fred Savage from 200 feet away in the early 90's? A lot of these aren't really what the OP was looking for.

My sister-in-law works for the Obamas.

R162 here, I linked to the wrong video.

Here’s Mr. Whipple, so so so gay.

[quote]My mother has a good friend who went to high school with Hilary and said she was a total cunt.

Did this good friend end up a housewife or did she actually accomplish something beyond babymaker? If it's the former, then we can guess why she thought Hilary was a cunt

r164, what does she say about the Obamas?

She says that Michelle is actually a man and quite hung too, and that Barack was born in Africa

She says they’re both absolutely delightful - as every normal, sane person knows.

[quote]r158 Dunaway married four more times. Wolf, presumably scarred for life by their union, never married again.

She only married one other time.

But she's not really interested in discussing Terry O'Neill....He's a big, BIG liar and she's really not interested in him and, you know, dilly-dallying and carrying on about a man that she will not even WASTE HER TIME discussing. And, you know, who, suffice it to say, STOPPED working when he married her and PRETENDED to be her manager for a VERY long time...so let's not even GO THERE! It's VERY upsetting to her! And then to put THEIR child in JEOPARDY the way he has!

WHY can't you be obsessed about positive things, r158? About Marlon Brando?! [italic]About the Kusturica movie that was the hit of all of Europe and Cannes?!?!

I was in a car accident once with Richie Havens of Woodstock fame. He smelled so good. He was a passenger, no one was hurt. We were on a photo shoot at the time, for an upcoming article in the newspaper. He was no drama, so appreciated. He even invited us to his New Haven, CT, home afterward. Looking back, I know how lucky we were to be in the company of a class act. Years later I realize how rare a celebrity like Richie Havens really is.

Just because you’re young today, don’t miss out on Richie Havens on guitar at Woodstock, and elsewhere.

My aunt graduated from high school with Don Knotts.

I used to be friends with George O'Dowd (Boy George)

My great aunt dated Mark Harmon's dad, Tom, in college in the early 40s (Michigan, I believe).

re Angie Dickinson: my cousin lived next door to her and Burt Bacharach briefly, in Aspen in the 70s. This is in a terrace house setup that overlooked a canyon, Bacharach used to tee up and hit golf balls over the ridge, from his backyard which adjoined my cousin's. One day my cousin's new puppy peed on Bacharach's leather golf bag; he went ballistic, threatened to sue, the whole bit. Very unpleasant man. Angie was supposedly very sweet however.

My best friends mom went to high school with Madonna.

R173 what happened? Why are you no longer friends?

Sandra Bullock and Kevin Williamson at East Carolina University...mid 80s. Bullock worked at a bar and ice cream shop...sorority girl but cool. Williamson in a theater class...geek.

R91, LtLB, don't tell me you're from K-town?!

Direct descendant of Robert E. Lee. Keep having to remind my family that he fought the US over the right to keep slaves,not "our heritage".

Stevie Nicks' best friend. One degree.

I went with Cybill Shepard to Knott's Berry Farm before she became famous. We went with a friend of mine who knew Cybill from MY and one of Cybill's girlfriends (another model). We rode all the rides. Had a great time.

R176 Drugs and Narcissism.

R182 I’m sorry. Thanks for answering.

One last one from me - I'm becoming forgetful... I worked at Baskin Robbins when I was 15, and served Terri Garr a double-scoop cone of either butter pecan or rum raisin. I don't remember what flavor exactly, just that I hated it.

r148, he said it in an angry/funny way. She said the whole crew died laughing.

I worked with the wife, who became the ex wife, of John Bauman, aka Bowzer in Sha-Na-Na. Mary was one of the few trustworthy people at that school and was ahead of her time in autism research and training. Brilliant, funny, and humble lady.

I also worked with the cousin of Ian McDiarmad (Emperor Palpatine).

My elderly neighbor tells me stories of his stepfather being friends with Rocky Marciano.

Forgot to mention that I used to be an aide in a classroom that one of Marlon Brando's illigitimate children was in. A very "special" child, if you catch my drift. Marlon actually showed up three sheets to the wind for an IEP, to insult everyone and everything about the school, yet left his son enrolled there. The mother was Marlon's unattractive and downright creepy housekeeper, who'd had two sons with him.

Gary Cole also had a child on the same campus. I literally ran into Gary as he was walking out of the lobby- I was chasing a student. I met Gary again later at an autism conference, where he spoke about the grief parents go through when they don't have the typical child they'd hoped for.

Jett Travolta was supposedly enrolled there for a while.

When I was younger , had a quite older BF for awhile. Richard Simmons called While I was blowing him.

Was aquatinted with Paula Deen, turned Out to be a *itch.

Dated someone, who had dated Michael Stipe.

I dated the dumbass who passed out in The opening scene of Quincy 😁

Elton John once waved at me on Peachtree St.

I want to hear more about this!

She dropped off the radar after that lawsuit. Her image consultant probably told her to lie low for a few years...

My uncle went to school with Drew Carey. When my aunt and uncle came out to visit another aunt in Long Beach, Drew called to comp the tickets for a Vegas show. I answered the phone when he called but assumed it was my uncle prank calling, as he was famous for doing, so I gave Drew a hard time. In return, Drew did NOT give me a ticket. I stayed home alone while everyone else went to see his show.

I went to junior high school with Candace Cameron. Jennifer Flavin (Sylvester Stallone's wife) went to my high school years before I did; one of my teachers had creepy modeling pics of her all over his classroom. My mom was friendly (years ago) with Adrienne Barbeau.

A teacher I worked with had a long-standing property line battle going with Leslie Ann Warren, who stole her pumpkins. She described Leslie as a Grade-A cunt and her lawyer husband as phony but polite.

[quote]My mother knew Ralph Blum, the author of The Book of Runes,” a new-agey fortune telling system.

I have that book and the accompanying deck of cards, R141. I still refer to it sometimes.

My friend's mother-in-law was the script supervisor for a few seasons of Cheers and most of the seasons of Frasier. She told us stories about Kelsey being drunk off his ass but always sweet, and how she had to go fetch Kirstie Alley from the bowels of the Scientology building on Sunset. She had to wait in a room for a very long time with two gentlemen, who very strongly suggested that she'd benefit from Scientology. Kirstie eventually showed up with a handler, who wouldn't let her speak until they all exited the building.

My aunt went to grade school with Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi. She said he looked so cute carrying his accordion to school for his after school lessons.

[quote]R192 A teacher I worked with had a long-standing property line battle going with Leslie Ann Warren, who stole her pumpkins.

This HAS to be a Lifetime Original Movie! Like, NOW!

[italic] Stolen Pumpkins, Stolen Pride: The Leslie Ann Warren Story

When Matt Sterling was directing "Giant Splash Shots II" for Falcon studios, I had to interrupt the outdoor scene on the deck that was being filmed between Leigh Erickson and Chad Douglas, because someone was blocking my car in the driveway. I was the tenant in the guest house, and the owner-landlord had told them not to park in front of the left side of the garage where my car was, and I couldn't get out. I was young and shy, so felt very awkward, but I had to get to the airport, dammit!!

Some family member having gone to high school with Paul Newman is a usually apocryphal story from Clevelanders.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t claimed that a great aunt was MacArthur’s one-time fiancé. That’s another one that often makes the rounds.

Me to a professor of music to Paul Hindemith to Wilhelm Furtwangler to Hitler.

A friend worked directly for Giorgio Armani and some other well-known fashion names.

Another friend's female friend dated George Michael in the 80s until George put an end to it saying he's now gay.

My husband worked for the company that built Garth Brooks Nashville studio and met with him regularly. He said he was cool AF. There were four owners all celebs but the only other one he remembers was one of the Walton actors. He's not the fanboy type of anyone.

My cousin is Isla Fisher’s step-sister.

I had (unprotected gay) sex with Ice Cube

Never really considered Ice Cube to be on the downlow, R201

I went to the same high school (in Alexandria, Virginia) that Jim Morrison attended. He was in L.A. by then.

Bumped into Tony Blair and Angela Merkel ( literally. ) Am related to Gerry Hall. Once shared a lift with Shirley Anne Field.

🐣 I often see Janet Jackson eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I'm the rib cage standing outside, peeking in the window.

R33 here. What happened to my list? There’s a lot more. Barrie Youngfelliw had relatives who lived down the street from me. I met the surgeon who did the deed on Chastity Bono and Bruce Jenner at a wedding. In fact the bride has a selfie of her and Caitlyn. I worked with a woman who went to high school with Neil Diamond. I had a college theater professor who said my sense of humor reminded him of his friend Danny Kaye. I’ve driven over the Hope Menorial Bridge, named after Bob Hope’s father.

I had dinner at Kenny Rogers place.

I rode in an elevator with Anjelica Huston. She looked great.

Now these are two sentences I never thought I'd see together.

One of Dolly Parton's older sisters was married to one of my fourth-cousins.

R153 What a useless post.

What a silly thread...

I've worked with Stephen Sondheim, Nathan Lane, and Susan Strohman. I was once picked up and taken to a party by Diana Rigg. I'm friends with John Rubinstein. Nothing but good to say about all of them. Nice people. Talented, but down to earth. All very smart, too.

If you want to get nasty, I was once hit on by Bryan Batt after a show, and I fucked Michael Ball years ago. Great boost for my ego, but otherwise not too memorable.

Like I said, a really silly thread.

The silly part is that no one knows who Bryan Batt and Michael Ball are. Thanks for contributing nothing.

Your loss, [R215}.

Michael Ball is a London stage star. He originated the role of Marius in Les Miz, and starred in many West End shows (and on Broadway). Aspects of Love. Phantom of the Opera. Sunset Boulevard. The Woman in White. Kismet. Rocky Horror Show. Passion, Sweeney Todd...

Bryan Batt is less well known, but a sweet guy -Most remembered for playing Patrick Stewart's boyfriend in the film Jeffrey. Former chorus boy in Cats.

I met Kim Bassinger at a Bat Mitzvah. She was sweet and a really tiny thing

I had coitus with 2 members of the original Village People separately at different times in the 80s. Ironically I ran into both on the street in NYC ( individually) and there was a "hey I know you acknowledgment moment "followed by a mutually exchanged " he has aged but is still kinda hot" acknowledgment moment.

R188 Is Stipe as strange as he seems?

A close friend went to elementary school with Justin Timberlake. And I am connected closely to a Hall of Fame base player, Tony Bennett, Bette Davis, Kate Hepburn, Oliva De, and Harvey Korman.

R188 , which dumbass that passed out on the opening of Quincey? The Black, Hispanic or White guy ?

R166 She was an engineer who worked with NASA and designed a crucial part for the Space Shuttle which made her a multi-millionaire. She donated most if it to charity. She also has 3 children who are all top in their respective fields.

But no, she never achieved the success of First Cunt.

My father attended high school with Buddy Holly. His brother went to class with Mac Davis.

Had a next door neighbor whose daughter was on America’s Next Top Model, before we became neighbors. She was on season 2 or 3, and was eliminated pretty early.

Went to college with a famous wrestler, now known as The Undertaker.

I'm a Top's Market [italic] Insider.

My cousin did time in prison with Martha Stewart.

One of my Mom's grade school teachers was a Miss Dalton, sister of the infamous brothers. My Mom always said the older boys got in with the wrong crowd....the rest of the family was respectable.

My great-grandfather's hotel/stable was regularly visited by surviving gang members (not only the Daltons) and other assorted characters; there was always a poker game going. My great-aunt, who was a small child during this time, described the men as dusty, dirty (they spit tobacco) and stinky (because of their cigars),

R216 His loss indeed.

For our friends in the UK, here's "Shanghai Lil" with Michael Ball

My father hung out with Kerouac and I was Patti LuPone's lawn boy.

R218 , which Village Person did you have sex with? Native American, construction worker, cowboy, leather man, military guy, and/or cop? TIA.

One of my students is the granddaughter of Dick Hickock, one of the men put to death for the 1959 Clutter family murders in western Kansas. Truman Capote famously wrote about the killings in "In Cold Blood."

My grandmother was Glenn Close's parents house cleaner. My cousins cousin (so not related to me) married one of Bing Crosby's sons from his first marriage. He committed suicide.

Liz Koch, wife of Charles Koch was a customer of mine for several years. She was always decent and kind, but kept us on our toes. In the early years she would drive herself around, later on she had security that looked military. Met her husband only once.

R220 When my Great Aunt worked at Sears, she once sold a refrigerator to Olivia de Havilland. Does that make us related?

^Was it probably an ice box

R33 here again. Lived around the corner from a woman who’s daughter in law moved to Las Vegas to be a back up singer for Wayne Newton.

I met a girl (when I was into meth) who’d been to rehab with Macaulay Culkin. She had good things to say about him.

And with all due respect, you didn't learn to use a comma either, my dear R237

George Clooney attended my college graduation party. Well, not MINE per se. I had seven housemates senior year in a rented house off campus. Six of us graduated the same year. We had a bacchanal in the back yard after commencement. We all pitched in to buy a ton of liquor and kegs of beer.

My housemate's mother was Clooney's aunt (his father's sister). He was pretty normal and was really there to celebrate his cousin's graduation. Afterward, my brother said that Clooney had talked to him about working as an actor in LA. Apparently he had a role in a TV show that did not last long and flew home just for this graduation.

My housemate was a salt of the earth paper and pulp engineering major who never even told us that his uncle was the local news anchor and his aunt was a famous singer. TBH, Clooney is much better looking now than he was then.

A friend was going to buy a log cabin in Temescal Canyon and asked his carpenter friend to evaluate it. It was Harrison Ford and this guy really knows his stuff. I asked friend how he knew him and he said that Ford used to do a lot of carpentry work for his family before he became famous. He didn't buy the home because Ford said it was terribly built.

Former California governor Pete Wilson lives near me as does Michelle Phillips and Michael McKean with Annette O'Toole. I see them all the time and only Michael is not friendly.

R216, others might know Bryan Batt from his role as Sal Romano on Mad Men.

I spoke on the phone to Joan Crawford.

I rode in an elevator with Paul Simon (His office was right above ours. Sometimes I would hear him playing the piano).

I met and shook hands with Merv Griffin.

Pavarotti kissed me, and I have a photo of the two of us taken that day.

R244, Not quite what the thread is about. Not unexpected run-ins with celebs, but having a relationship of sorts with someone who actually knows the celebrity.

R244 here. Mea culpa.

A friend of mine grew up with Melissa Etheridge in Leavenworth, Kansas. Another friend went to highschool with Norah Jones in Dallas. He also played in a band with her. He still has those tapes.

My former boss is married to Cameron Diaz.

I met Danny Bonaduce at a Philly store when he and his girlfriend were browsing lesbian porn.

Best friend in Australia is friends with someone who married into Kidman clan. Can't say more, sorry. Yes, stories about Tom Cruise.

I'm good friends with a fairly famous cookbook author and chef.

I've been Martha Stewart's guest for lunch in NYC at her office with 5 other people, and interacted with her outside of that as well.

I've almost run into Elton John on the street in Knightsbridge coming out of a shop carrying a ton of bags.

I saw Ringo Starr at a Whole Foods, shopping for vitamins.

I was a friend of Chef Boiardi and his wife in the 70s in Cleveland, OH

I went to school with NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio. He and I lived in the same dorm in which he would later run for and be elected as president. Bill has told the press that was his first experience with political campaigning.

Bill was a very nice guy back then, super earnest and a genuine do-gooder. He was involved in a lot of student activism so his going into politics wasn't a complete surprise.

I follow Aaron Schock on Twitter. Sorry that is as close as I can get to any famous person and as close as I would want to get to him.

Judge Judy's father was my orthodontist for about 5 years until I was 16 or so. When done after a few years of braces he said, "You're ready for Hollywood."

I was in the same High School class with Eddie Money

My next door neighbor did business with Donald Trump. He loathes him, says he's a thief and basically said in 2016 that if Trump were elected we're all completely fucked.

On a happier note I know someone whose uncle worked with Elvis.

My Aunt and Uncle lived next door to Glenn Close in Mt. Kisco. My cousin had sleep overs with Glenn's daughter at her house.

R253, my SIL worked for him when he was running for public advocate. She called him “the real deal” and our Dem family was excited to vote for him.

I despise what he’s become, but I can believe that he was genuine at some point. Power corrupts.

Ed McCaffrey (ex) of the Denver Broncos, and father of DL fave Christian McCaffrey was in my homeroom for 4 years. He was a nice guy, but we weren't friends.

If you live on the UES and went to certain schools, and married someone who went to other certain schools and have kids who go to other schools, you’re a degree or two from anybody. It’s a very small world, actually. I’m sure it’s the same in LA or London or wherever.

I went to high school with John Travolta (he dropped out). I was cruised by a major league baseball player/model, a famous blond weatherman, one Village People person, quite a few soap opera actors and, oh yes, Jonathan Frid!

One of my childhood neighbors knew Janis Joplin. Her mom taught night classes at a university, and Janis would sometimes go up and hang out in a sorority the old neighbor was apart of. She was in high school, and was VERY different from what she came to be.

My high school physics teacher just missed getting blown up in the Challenger explosion. He was one of the ten finalists.

My late husband had two grade Z connections. His great-uncle was Ralph Young of Sandler and Young (the one on the right), who got their start with Polly Bergen and appeared on Ed Sullivan a lot.

He also hung out in the same Bronx pizzeria as Son of Sam (David Berkowitz), but not together. Berkowitz was always alone.

A former friend was friends with Dennis Rodman when Rodman was fucking Madonna. My bud was hanging out with Rodman in Florida once and Madonna kept calling and Rodman didn't want to talk to her so my bud answered Rodman's phone and told Madonna to fuck off.

I had an ongoing affair with a married man in the early 2000s. His first wife was the granddaughter of FDR.

I worked with a woman who knew Betty and Barney Hill.

My niece beat up Patrick Schwarzenegger when they were both very small (they're the same age) at the Children's Museum in St. Paul.

My niece was there with my sister, and got separated from her, and then suddenly my sister heard two small children fighting. My niece was whaling on a little boy, and then suddenly his nanny and mother--Maria Shriver--came running over to help my sister separate them. The Schwarzeneggers were in town because Arnold was doing location shooting in the Twin Cities suburbs for "Jingle All the Way."

To this day my niece says she had no idea why she was hitting him. She is a very sweet woman who now lives in Arizona and is married and has a baby.

I sucked off three presidents and two popes.

*Sorry, that should read "To this day my niece says she HAS no idea why she was hitting him." She remembers being separated from him and being yelled at by her mother for fighting, but she does not remember the actual fight (she was three).

I've been perspired on by Laura Branigan (RIP) and my Aunt Helen was Eddie Van Halen's den mother in cub scouts.

Everybody in Pasadena has a Van Halen-adjacent story.

I went to school with Raj Shah who was deputy press secretary under the Huckabeast.

R112 Speaking of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, I found out that the three of us are cousins - very, very distant cousins -10th cousins. Though a cousin of mine is also related to Ben Affleck, but is a closer relation than me.

Ben and Matt didn't know they were related until the New England Genealogical Society discovered the connection.

Before she maried famous, I worked wih Linda Eastman See.

R267, there must be hundreds of Roosevelt descendants in NYC alone. I just remembered that I worked with one. They are everywhere. One James Roosevelt Bayley, converted to Catholicism (they were the uber WASPS) and was president of Fordham, first bishop of Newark, and later Archbishop of Baltimore (premier see in the US). It's like the Catholic Church got themselves a Roosevelt and decided to showcase it.

R277, my sister dated a Roosevelt who lived in Oyster Bay.

My sister's date ate a bay oyster at the Roosevelt.

My aunt caught a glimpse of Fred Savage is the winner so far.

When cell phones were huge and new, I was walking on the UWS on a crowded sidewalk and a guy with a cell phone was talking so we all could hear " I can't because I HAVE TO BRING THE GUITAR TO YOKO". And then the rest "...No. At the studio. I know, I know. No, she won't".

I once walked down the sidewalk with someone who delivered a guitar to Yoko.

It's amazing how far "Star Power" can reach and how we are all enamored of it on such a basic level.

Theosophist AA Bailey wrote a book called Glamour, a World Problem- The sum total of human fear, ignorance and greed.

My childhood neighbors were related to Slim Pickens through his mother's side of the family and I saw him from across the street a few times, once the night after I'd seen him on a TV show, "BJ and the Bear" I think. I was young enough to be very, very confused.

The mother of one of my employees many years ago babysat Janis Joplin in Texas.

Tim Allen's ex wife is just down the beach in summer home

I've met Queen Elizabeth II, other British royals, the Queen of Denmark, two Prime Ministers (Major and Cameron), German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ben Wishaw.

[R259], It's sad because sometimes when I see him do the daily briefings on TV, I still see the earnest undergrad he once was, the budding activist/do-gooder from decades ago. When I knew him, he really had this sweet and smart altruistic hippie aura to him. I do think he's in over his head and it's such a shame that he clearly does not get along with Cuomo. I can imagine the screaming phone calls that have gone on between them since the pandemic began.

Someone mentioned Tim Allen in the thread. I briefly dated a Manhattan real estate lawyer who told me that one time he was hired by Allen to handle the closing of a condo/love nest for Allen and a boytoy lover.

my grandmother was a class behind Ronald Reagan in HS in peoria

Betty Friedan was her classmate, though they weren't friends

I once worked with someone whose friend fucked David Bowie.

My cousin dated Henry Winkler before he got famous.

A friend worked for a well known country music star (sorry, I can't name her), the friend describes her as "sweet, vague & lightly medicated". - R49

Tanya Tucker?

Oh, ze also just remembered that I met Queen Beatrix when she was still sovereign of the Netherlands. How could I forget that? What struck me was how big her face was.

I hooked up with someone who hooked up with Matthew Shepard

I once saw " Follies."

I met former Arizona congress woman, Gabby Giffords and she gave me a hug and signed her book for me. I also met her astronaut hubby, Mark Kelly, the commander of the last space shuttle Endeavour mission including the entire crew. Meeting Gabby was the best part, though.

A very close (now deceased) family friend knew Whitney Houston very well. (One of Whitney's doctors was her son and the family friend worked part-time in his office--that's how she got to know Whitney). This was the 1990s. She loved Whitney and was kind of in denial about Whitney's drug habits. But then she qualified it by saying that her family blamed Bobby for it. (I don't agree--I think he was a scapegoat but that's another thread). Anyway, when the family friend was terminally ill with cancer, she really wanted to see Whitney perform in Atlantic City. The only thing was she didn't have the strength and wherewithal to drive three hours to AC. So Whitney arranged a limo driver to pick her up from her NJ home and drive her back. She also had a suite booked for the family friend. And when the family friend saw her backstage, Whitney greeted her with a bouquet and really was incredibly kind toward her. The family friend was so thrilled and delighted by the whole experience she couldn't stop talking about it. She would die a short time later.

My great aunt babysat either Moe, Larry, or Curley -- I can't remember which. She also babysat Fred Ebb.

I was in an elevator with JFK, Jr. My mother was in an elevator with Hugh Downs and the Duchess of Windsor (at the same time).

Speaking of JFK Jr., I met him when I was doing some temp work at a magazine that was part of the Hachette media empire. JFK's magazine George was being launched around that time and I used to see him around the office. The first time I saw him, though, he walked out of the elevator, wearing bike shorts and carrying his bike. He saw me and casually said "Hi" and moved on. My jaw dropped. HA-HA! When I came back from lunch, I told the guy I was reporting to whom I saw. He howled and said, "You'll be seeing more of him." From what I remember about JFK Jr, is that he was very nice, extremely polite and well-mannered and VERY down to earth. SHOCKINGLY down to earth for someone with that level of fame.

But here's the real interesting tidbit: A few weeks into this assignment, I noticed a revolving circle of middle-aged men sitting with the receptionist. Ordinarily, the receptionist desk just had the receptionist sitting there but for a few weeks, every single day a different nondescript middle-aged man would sit with her. Usually, these guys would look very bored. I remember one flipping through various magazines. It was bizarre. So one time I get into the elevator and another employee gets in. As if he could read my mind, he says to me, "You see those guys who have been sitting with [receptionist's name] the past week or so?" I replied, "Yeah, who are they?" He said, "Secret service. For Kennedy."

My aunt sold a refrigerator to Olivia de Haviland at the Sears in Santa Monica. Yes, she came in and bought it herself.

My mother got kissed by Ewan McGregor. Back when he was younger and hot. I wasn’t jealous.

Whoa, mom! Was/is she an actress?

R305 no, nothing as exciting. She was actually in the medical profession. She happened to be at some social function where Ewan was with his brother if I recall (he is originally from the area where we lived in Scotland). When someone introduced him to her, they mentioned that it was her birthday, and he gave her a birthday kiss. Which he didn’t have to do, but it made her day.

Ror the eldergays:One summer I was living in the basement apartment of a college professor. One day he told me that he was expecting his lady friend and her friend who would be spending the weekend. I found out that it was Loretta Young. Well, she came and they went to lunch, but not before she asked me to be on the lookout for her friend, Irene Dunne, who would be arriving a bit later in the day. Fortunately, they came back before she arrived, as I would have had difficulty speaking to her.

I ate out Little Debbie.

We played this game at a work dinner once and one of my colleagues had never met anyone famous. We were surprised he’d never even met a semi-famous local celebrity - not even the weather guy.

Then at the end of dinner, he says “my cousin is Selma Hayek”. But he figured relatives didn’t count.

Jane Fonda called me an asshole when police separated her and another protester so I could get into the NYSE in the 70s

My great aunt's sister, Lorraine, was BFF's with Merv Griffin's wife, Julann, when the two girls grew up in Michigan's U.P. together. .. They remained close friends even after she moved away and married Merv, and that's why my entire family knew he was homosexual as far back as the late-50s, early 60s. Years later, when I was on a date with my pawnbroker boyfriend, he had to stop by Merv's house to conduct some pawn business with him, and he had me come inside with him. I wanted to ask Merv if he knew "Lorraine" from Ironwood, Michigan, but didn't.

An old friend/roommate of mine was friendly with Jennifer Levin (who was murdered by Robert Chambers in the infamous Preppie Murder case). My ex-roomie was working as a street vendor selling Chipwiches in downtown Manhattan during the summer of 1984. A friend of hers was working as a hostess at Fluties, a then popular watering hole in that area that was owned by Doug Flutie. Jennifer also worked there, too. So after my ex-roommate's shift was over, she would meet up with her pal who worked at Flutie's and the pal would very often bring Jennifer along. My ex-roomie said of Jennifer, that she was just a nice, normal teenager. That was it.

I work in film/television, so lots.

My partner is directly related to Mark Twain.

r315, who are your faves?

Dad's old colleague took Brad Pitt's mom to the prom (oh my).

Dad's first cousin was in a 1970s one-hit wonder band that toured the country with Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead.

Grandmother dated Jack Kerouac in HS (seriously).

I performed in a high school play with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Yes, you could tell they were bound for stardom even then.

DL catnip Chris Evans went to camp with me.

Husband is directly descended from...Benedict Arnold. Oh dear!

I went to high school with a girl who became a model (not a household name). She was in a Super Bowl commercial, moved to CA and married an E-list screenwriter.

I stood next to Ellen Corby, grandma Walton, at the Warner Bros studio cafeteria.

Drank some off Richard Burtons vodka he had sitting in his trailer at WB studios.

Stood near Barb Streisand snickering while she was bitching out the director.

etc, etc

R312 Pretty cool, though.

[quote]Then at the end of dinner, he says “my cousin is Selma Hayek"

Is he hot?

[quote]Speaking of JFK Jr., I met him when I was doing some temp work at a magazine that was part of the Hachette media empire. JFK's magazine George was being launched around that time and I used to see him around the office. The first time I saw him, though, he walked out of the elevator, wearing bike shorts and carrying his bike.

I had a colleague who'd worked at another Hachette title then, and he mentioned the bike shorts also although it was "tight little bike shorts." And "that fucking dog" was always at the office. Colleague was an asshole.

[quote]my grandmother was a class behind Ronald Reagan in HS in peoria. Betty Friedan was her classmate, though they weren't friends

Reagan (born 1911) was 10 years older than Friedan (born 1921).

[quote]My housemate's mother was Clooney's aunt (his father's sister).

She come on-a your house!

Richard Dreyfuss leased the main house for about a year on a property where I was already renting the guest house. This was right after he'd had his drug-related car accident and had been to rehab (early 80s). During the time he lived there, he met and was dating his first wife, Jeramie. While he pretty much kept to himself, she was very friendly, and I would sometimes dog-sit her adorable Basset Hound, Jenny.

One time when we were having one of our a BIG Southern California January rainstorms, he came knocking on my door in a total panic. He was very much like his( future) character in "Down and Out in Beverly Hills" where he goes around screaming "Call 911 !!" The run-off drain in the driveway was blocked with mud and debris, and the water was now flooding the garage where his Mercedes was parked. I told him he needed to stick his arm down in the sludge and pull the grate out, but not all the way to avoid large rocks going in the pipe and try to clean the grate off before sticking it back in. I told him there was a crowbar and shovel somewhere in the garage that he could probably use to help accomplish this as well. I was already dressed for work (we wore suits back then) and running late, so I wasn't about to stick around and do it for him... lol!

Sometime later, Charles Grodin also leased the same house. He lasted less than 10 days, because he saw a "rat" (field mouse) run across the pool deck and flew into a tizzy, causing him to move out. ... HELLO! There's a canyon right below us where all kinds of critters live!

The landlord also leased the main house for pron shoots, mainly gay, but some straight. Director Matt Sterling (Falcon) used the place more than once. I happened to be home from work the week scenes from "Spring Break" was filmed there, so saw all the *stars* from that one.

r324 = r89?

R325 Yes, oh gee. I forgot that. Perhaps I got interrupted mid-typing, but had more to "living at that house" story. ;-)

My father witnessed Raquel Welch having an epic meltdown at The Broadway (department store in downtown LA) in the 1980s. I believe she was going to film a commercial. She was having a screaming fit and it must have been bad because my dad will mention it every so often, lol.

My partner and his friends hosted a UCLA campus events film screening of The Broken Hearts Club. They got Dean Cain to come and do a Q&A. They met him at his car and he was drunk as a skunk! Very chatty, not unfriendly, but totally red-faced and boozed out!

My roommate had a party at our Hermosa Beach house we rented Dean Cain and his brother came to it as well as the Brewer Twins. She ended up sleeping with one of the twins that night and he forgot his belt and she kept it hoping he would come back for it. He never did.

r329 here, I forgot that both Dean and his brother were wearing foundation make-up. It was the first time I saw that on a man in an ordinary situation.

I used to work out at The Downtown Athletic Club in lower Manhattan. I went to Brown and used to wear a Brown tee shirt to lift weights in. JFK jr worked out there too. One time in the weight room, on a quiet day, he asked if I went there (I am younger than he was). We talked about Brown. He was a nice normal guy. I have posted this before and don’t care when everyone will call bullshit but I showered nude w him in the old school gang open showers. He had a trim beautiful body. And yes he was hung. Quite damned well. I feel bad posting this. He was a nice guy.

My partner saw Queen Latifah at the Louvre in Paris -- she was getting a private VIP tour of the place.

A close relative is a very good friend of Liam Neeson's. I've met his mother a number of times, she was lovely. Sadly she died recently.

I'm friends with Liev Schrieiber's grandmother.

Heather Locklear's male, look alike cousin grew up with members of my family. they were all involved in the same biker/drug subculture. he was a musician, and seriously super hot back in the day but is a ruin now, has a rap sheet etc. the only thing that remains of his looks are those brilliant, blue eyes.

i theorize that one, if not two, of my female relatives slept with him in his hot days. i would see him occasionally at barbecues and his resemblance to her was always striking. until the meth took its toll.

my aunt also went to school and was acquainted with MC Hammer, before he wore those ridiculous pants.

our adopted Uncle (Uncle Bear--who never had a girlfriend and never showed interest in women sexually, take that as you will), went to school with Tom Hanks.

R1. Which realtor? Minimum which city

My former coworker's dad married Joan Collins' step mom. It was a very romantic story, actually. My coworker's dad was career military, and after WWII one of his assignments was booking entertainment for the USO clubs in Europe. Joan's dad was a theatrical agent, so the two men and their wives got to know each other pretty well. At the time, Joan and Jackie were just little girls, and their dad's second wife was Irene.

Then, in the early 1990s, my coworker's mother passed away. Her parents had gotten married in WWII, so her dad was inconsolable. But a year or so later, he was passing through Heathrow on his way to a WWII service reunion when a woman called his name. It was Irene, who remembered him from his USO days in the early 1960s. She was widowed, too, by then. Well, they had a few drinks and talked about old times, and had themselves a whirlwind romance. Next thing my coworker knew, her dad phones and announces he's just married Joan Collins' stepmother.

My coworker found this absolutely hilarious - to be related, sort of, to a famous star. But Irene and her family were incredibly friendly and gracious. And she and her new husband absolutely loved each other. Since he was American, and she was British, they spent half the year at his home in the US, and half the year at her home in England. And they lived happily ever after - well, actually, just for a few years, until Irene was diagnosed with and passed away from terminal cancer. Her husband was devastated to have lost two lovely wives, but Irene left him with a truly kind gift: when they married, they agreed not to mingle their finances, since they both had families. But Irene was much better off than her ex-military husband, and he discovered after her death that she'd quietly bought a big insurance policy on herself and made him the beneficiary. Still, he would've given everything to have had more time with her. But he cherished what time they did have together.

That same coworker was on a first-name with nearly all the big names in science fiction. I initially thought she was bullshitting me, but after taking some calls in the office from people like Lester Del Ray and Terry Pratchett, and meeting still others at her home, I knew it was no idle boast.

As for me personally, the best I've got is that Bobby "Boris" Pickett (Monster Mash) once phoned me at the office. We had a nice conversation, and my coworker, who'd answered the phone and handed it to me, was frantically semaphoring, trying to get me to give the phone back to her so she could say Hi.

One more - a friend bumped into Richard Simmons while he was hawking his low-calorie desserts cookbook. She sampled a couple of his creations, and screamed, "Richard, your desserts taste like SHIT!" She then told him about me and my desserts (one of my hobbies is patisserie), and got him to write a note to me on an apron, which she then proudly presented to me the next time I visited. I cringed and thanked her, and hid that apron away in my closet for the next few decades. I'm not even sure if I've still got it.

I had coitus with a famous weatherman in Tampa FL in the 1980s

I was at a reception attended by Prince Philip for one of his charities, which runs educational activities and competitions for schools and universities (i was one of the prizewinners). That year, pretty much all the winning teams represented schools and institutions in Scotland, who had beaten their equivalents in England. Philip barely tried to hide his annoyance as all the Scottish successes were read out

Is Gordonstoun not in Scotland?

It is. But most of the royals see Scotland as a kind of estate where they go hunting and shooting and meet the quaint and curious locals, it is very much considered the fringe of the country.

With the possible exception of Anne, who is the only one who cheers for Scotland when England play Scotland at rugby.

On a flight from Boston to Chicago years ago, I sat next to Joan Kennedy's tennis instructor.

Very hot guy, indeed.

R298, JFK, Jr.'s Secret Service protection ended when he turned 18 in 1978.

I have waited on the Dalai Lama.

I had to go through a background check from The State Department.

My high school boyfriend's aunt by marriage was Viveca Lindfors.

I dated an Emmy winner and an Academy Award nominee. In a row, early in their careers before they were nominated. Surprised by the Emmy win, not surprised by the Oscar nom. Mr. Emmy was a poor when I dated him.

I've sold some of my art directly to celebs at art shows. George Lucas, Henry Winkler, Elizabeth Montgomery, Chaka Khan, and others. I've just dated myself, this all happened in the late 70s through the 80s. Early on I was really intimidated and would get speechless in their presence. Then I learned just to be normal. What I enjoyed is that some of the most talented people I knew were the most generous and supportive.

I did a commissioned piece for a celeb lawyer to the stars. Very quirky request, himself as somewhat godlike. He asked me to personalize it with specific adoring words. I did that for him, he was a hoot. Totally eccentric but great to have known him. Those were the good old days.

1. My great aunt modeled with Lucille Ball in New York – must have been in the 1920s/1930s. Auntie told me how it was well-known that Lucille had worked as an escort/prostitute and basically slept her way around in order to achieve her success.

2. An ex’s cousin was close friends with basketball player Gary Payton’s ex-wife, Monique.

3. An ex has met Bill Gate’s and been inside his Medina home.

4. The daughter of Danny O’Keefe (who wrote/sang Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues 1972) went to my elementary school. According to a classmate who was friends with the daughter, Danny and his wife often walked around the house naked.

5. An ex’s father had to physically toss Marvin Zindler (an over-the-top reporter at KTRK-TV in Houston on whom The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas was based) out of his office because Marvin was acting like a prima donna. A few tidbits: Marvin always wore wigs AND makeup. Apparently, Zindler’s wife was alleged to have never seen Marvin without one of his well-known wigs on and Marvin allegedly never removed his wig during his cosmetic surgeries (of which he had many).

I blew Richard Speck.

1. I am distantly related to Matt Damon via our Finnish heritage – we are 8th cousins. I dabble in genealogy and was able to link up my family tree with Matt's. The Finns are excellent record keepers as well as having had a very homogeneous culture until recently, so the odds are pretty strong that Matt and I are distant cousins. Am I proud of this fact? Damn right I am - Matt and I have sisu!

2. An ex’s sister dated one of Tom Sizemore’s brothers a few years back. She witnessed some weird and scary drug-related shit when she was around Tom. I can confirm that he is very fucked up.

3. An ex interviewed Cindy Crawford and Bruce Willis.

4. I’ve been kissed on the cheek by and made chit-chat (more than a handful of times) with a Seattle area billionaire whom my ex and I would regularly see at certain Galas. My ex worked as an executive in the public sector and would talk to the billionaire regularly.

5. I was in an elevator, at a Gala with Charles Simonyi. He was with a very pretty blond woman. Not sure if it was his current wife, but it could have been.

1. I sat next to Gary Payton’s brother in Gary’s suite during one of his basketball games. His bro is a chef and a friendly guy.

2. My nephew ran into Ciara at the Seahawks training camp and got a great pic with her. Very nice woman.

3. I went to high school with one of Chris Cornell’s sisters.

4. My partner went to junior high school with Duff McKagan and got into a fight with him.

5. My ex’s father worked with news anchor Jessica Savitch and knew her well. This was shortly before she died.

R343, I'm just telling you what the fellow Hachette employee told me when we were in the elevator years ago regarding the strange middle-aged men who sat with the receptionist at that time.

The first cousin of my aunt (through marriage) was Larry Kert.

Jim Palmer, R262?!

My ex hosted a dinner for Rock Hudson

My sister was friends with Robert Wagner, post-Natalie.

My dad hung with the same crowd Janis Joplin did when she was bumming around Austin prior to becoming famous. He thought she was a drugged up loser, and she worked his nerves. He still gets pissy when somebody mentions her.

I went to school with (and was friendly with) one of Strom Thurmond’s children. Went to law school with and was an acquaintance of George P. Bush.

I’m a Democrat, so these experiences were weird to say the least.

R62, did your sister have sex with the then-Lew Alcindor? If so, was he hung?

A friend used to work for Michael Douglas. She adored him.

I have so many, but a favorite was Ted Hook, former show boy and Manhattan restaurant owner who was the personal secretary for Tallulah Bankhead. Ted was well-known in the theater crowd, friends with Chita Rivera and Myrna Loy among others, but none matched Bankhead.

And no, he never sucked her dick.

Circa 1998, I stood in the lobby of the Jenner/Kardashian house before the three oldest girls became fame whores and discussed Marilyn Monroe for twenty minutes. Kris promised and delivered a signed Wheaties box from Bruce which I gifted my dad.

Same year discussed being Florida native with Andy Garcia in his study. Candice Bergen mistook me for her brother while I was up in a tree in her backyard and Teri Garr and I shared a few laughs about Young Frankenstein, Star Trek and Tootsie over a Diet Pepsi.

R361 is a landscaper or telephone repairman to the stahs!!

Helped a friend with Holiday decoration business. Landscapers don't gain access to the house, let alone access to the children.

Also was at the Barron Hilton mansion (featured in the opening of The Colbys) when Paris and family arrived.

OP, what did your math teacher say about Linda?

My dad went on a date with Jodie Foster's mother in high school.

My great uncle was Irene Dunne's investment banker.

My aunt was in a high school bridge club with Barbara Hale.

I gave Verushka a cigarette at a gallery opening.

R357 one of his black kids or one of his white kids?

I went to high school with Dana Plato, Robbie Rist, Justine Bateman, Lisa Kudrow, and the candy-striper dancer from the She Works Hard for the Money video.

My dad played college football with Alex Karras..

For those of you doing the math, that means I’m only four degrees of separation from BOTH Emmanuel Lewis AND Robert Preston.

And five degrees from Barbara Cook!!

Thanks dad!!

I was working backstage/talent hospitality at the VMAs at Radio City (in 2000 I think) and a pushy middle-aged woman tried to commandeer my set aside elevator, and I told her no. She was very agitated and said she needed it for a VIP or there would be hell to pay. I said, "Ok, I'll stand in the elevator and hold it until your VIP arrives, and then I will grant it to them!"

She agreed.

Forty-five seconds later around the corner comes a goddess-like Whitney Houston with Bobby Brown following behind like a servant. She had on very high heels looked incredible! I was pretty awestruck. I held the door and said hi, of course. They said nothing, but didn't sneer, or anything. I have rarely been star struck but for that moment I was.

During a Universal Studio tram tour I saw a Roxie Roker, Helen Willis taking a break from filming something outside the back door of a studio. And she was smoking!

Junior high and my first high school with Tawny Kitaen and Jean-Marc Barr. Also, my second high school was the inspiration for "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"...literally Cameron Crowe was there undercover as a student while I was there. I didn't know him, the only one who got portrayed in the movie that i knew was the character known as "The Rat". In real life he went on to make a fortune writing a bunch of those "...For Dummies" books.

My cousin was Betty White's hairdresser for years. A close friend is related to Rob Reiner.

Peter Weir’s favourite cinematographer tried to get me to join his wine club

I’m related to Jerry Hall. I bumped into Tony Blair and Angela Merkle in the early noughties.

r374, What is Jerry Hall like?!

My uncle worked with Lee Harvey Oswald. I went to high school with John Denver. My best friend blew Tan Twan Eng.

My father is very well-known, so I don't have to think of a neighbor's sister's hairdresser who knew one of Wayne Newton's household staff members.

r376 You went to high school with a friend of mine. She also went to school with John Denver.

Well, smell r377!

I have a passion for genealogy and have discovered that I am distantly related to Richard Nixon; Grover Cleveland; Anne Boylen and Oliver Cromwell.

Wonderful story r369.

When I worked the AIDS Project Los Angeles Benefit for designer Gianfranco Ferré at the Century City Hotel. I was working media and the woman in charge told me to go stand on the other side of a door into the temporary press room and wait for her knock. I did as told and found myself in the empty and dark kitchen.

Suddenly at the end farthest from me, I saw two figures walking down the aisle towards me. Not sure who as they were backlit. One was a rotund man and the other, a figuring with a slight limp using a cane. When they got close enough and more into the light near me, I saw it was Ferre walking with Liza Minnelli. Within a minute or so, they were standing directly in front of me, perhaps six feet away. I was invisible. And completely awe-struck.

Minnelli had recently had hip surgery, hence the limp and cane. Which was black lacquer with a silver wolfhound head and had been wrapped in the same sequined material her outfit was made of. Liza looked tired and slumped.

A sharp rap came from the other side of the door and in that moment, starting from her feet, Liza's leg's got straighter as did her torso. Her shoulders were suddenly tossed back along with her head. The eyes came alive and a huge smile broke across her face and a hearty laugh escaped from her throat. LIZA the designer walked through to be greeted by flashbulbs and questions for the next ten minutes.

I just stood there until another rap came from the other side. I opened the door and the pair walked through. As soon as the door shut, LIZA disappeared and the rotund designer and old lady hobbled off into the darkness of the kitchen aisle.

Not a word was spoken the entire time.

FLASH FORWARD twenty years later when I spot Liza's Wolfhead cane from that night for sale online. I paid $900 for it and would have it still, had it not arrived damaged (the dog's snout crushed inward) due to poor packing.

Ohhh no, a shamshed shnout?

7th cousin to President Carter and 8th cousin to Elvis a couple of times.

35 yrs ago I served Brenda Lee fried chicken and iced tea. She had a small red bouffant and garishly long fake nails. I recount this story every Christmas when we sing Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.

My condolences if it is RBG, R308.

My father was Bozo-the-Clown's attorney.

My dad’s receptionist (or her husband) somehow knew or was aquatinted with Clint Eastwood. Several of my or my brother’s birthday cards in the late 60s & early 70s were often accompanied by signed 5”x7” photos of Dirty Harry.

I ate lunch with Steve McQueen on the set of his movie "The Thomas Crown Affair" in 1967.

I spent an afternoon with photographer Ansel Adams at his home in Carmel Heights, California.

I was Patti LuPone's lawn boy. She was very cool at 17. Played the lead in our high school musicals. Mrs. LuPone was said to be good friends with Lucille Ball who would send her limo out to pick her up and take her to the city for the day.

Hey, Venezia! I remember you telling this story, not so long ago. You were about 13, right? Cool story.

A guy who used to suck Michael T. Weiss's cock also sucked mine. Said mine was bigger =)

My grandmother was Betty Friedan's best friend in High school.

Same grandmother went to school with ronald reagan, she said he was a hot jock

Best friend worked with donald trump back in the eighties on some shady real estate deals. he said he was a nasty cunt then too

I had sex with someone who had sex with Jamie Wyeth.

I was at the concert where Tiny Tim had a heart attack!!

My grandmother was first cousins with Berry Brazelton, the pediatrician. He was darling, rest his soul.

R380

How did you discover that? I’m on all the sites and can’t figure out any unique connections. Even distant ones.
