True story. I owe Doris Day a debt of gratitude. Because of her I view all celebrities with disdain. When I was a young’un around the 1955 time frame, we lived in Carmel and she was shooting a movie in town. Here I was in the 3rd grade. I gathered up all the courage I could to approach her and ask her for an autograph. I walked up and politely asked her and she blew me off like a gnat. Crushed I walked away with my head down but from that day forward, I have always held celebs in low esteem. So a hearty thanks there doris. I may respect their work but as persons, they can KMA cause none of them are better than me. WOO HOO! (I wanted to share with everybody that posted but couldn’t figure out how to reply to “all”)
So sorry to hear that Doris was rude to you. No one should be rude to a child. I remember stories of Alec Guinness being horrible to kids who approached him because of his role in Star Wars. I also remember Madonna actually hitting a kid after one of her B’way “performances.”
Judy Collins was once really stupid and rude to me backstage. Her husband had invited us into her dressing room (I forget why!) and she was so obviously bored to see us. Her kindly-hippie image is a farce. On the other hand, Glenn Close was very nice.
