snowusin Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 My daughter used to act & model when she was little so I met a few stars and got pics of them with my daughter and even some autographs. We met: Robin Williams Penny Marshall Robert Dinero Tim Robbins Elizabeth Pena Arseno Hall Eddie Murphy John Amos Louie Anderson Harrison Ford Michael Keaton Bill Cosby David Caruso Grant Show and Dave Thomas (Owner of Wendys) They wound up being really nice people. My daughter finally decided that she didn't want to do it anymore so she quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowusin Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Okay you got me, What's a snooker player? Living in New York definately gives us a great opportunity to meet stars since alot of Movies, TV shows and Commercials/print ads are shot here. (I live on Long Island but the city is about a half hour from my home if there is no traffic so we do get to go into the city alot).We also had David Barrett from the Jets or is it the Giants (football teams) on our boat, but since I like extreme sports over regular sports I had no idea who he was or that he was a real football player. As you can see I am not sure which team he is on LOL. I have to admit that most of the stars were really nice and great people but some of them seemed to forget that if it wasn't for people like us they would not be where they are now and weren't that nice at all.
