At one DC, me and my wife somehow were talking to Nichelle Nichols in some room. She was super nice.
My favorite is Claudia Christian. Ivanova has no equal.
My wife corresponded with Erin Gray some a long time ago. Erin is another class act.
Just about all the B5/Crusade crowd were always talkative and fan friendly.
What few Stargate people I met were really good too.
I ran into so many and it’s all a blur at times.
The most surprising personality was Traci Lords.
She had long lines the first year that were crazy and it wasn’t a big deal to me.
The next year she was back and this older co-irker of mine begged me to get her autograph. My wife thought it was good natured enough.
She didn’t have the crowd the second time around when we dropped by. Traci was actually very personable and was really amused about how my pal was so desperate for an autograph. We all hung around for a few minutes.
Nichelle Nichols has such a great reputation. My personal favorite, only met in autograph lines, was DeForest Kelley. Everything I’ve heard says he was a wonderful man, and I loved that his charity was no-kill animal shelters. Husband spent quite a bit of time talking to Frederick Pohl at a tiny MA con because no one else much showed up. Husband was thrilled.
I fear I’m an unrepentent autograph collector. First one was from the gentleman who played The Grey Ghost, Todd Andrews, back in the 50’s. Still remember getting one from a physicist that I explained that I’d heard he would get a Nobel prize one day. Oh, one of my Physics professors did. Very old by that time and spent an entire quarter teaching us that it wasn’t an x,y world. It was an x-x0, y-y0 world. My husband’s PhD advisor remembered his class tried to get him kicked out of teaching for senility.
