[QUOTE="Richards, post: 616929, member: 508"] Most of the celebrities I've met are from "Doctor Who," as my wife and I hit a lot of conventions in 1983 (it was the 20th anniversary of the show that year). I've met: Patrick Troughton (2nd Doctor) Jon Pertwee (3rd Doctor) Tom Baker (4th Doctor) Peter Davidson (5th Doctor) Nicholas Courthey (Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart) Elizabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith) Louise Jamison (Leela) Janet Fielding (Tegan Jovanka) I actually (and quite literally) "ran into" Nicholas Courtney in a hallway; we were each coming around a corner from opposite directions. Of course, if you've never seen "Doctor Who," I'm probably not impressing you much, huh? My wife met Angela Lansbury on a plane once. Here's how it went: My wife: "Oh my God! You're on a REAL plane!" Angela (smiling): "Yes, that's right, dear." (My wife was immediately mortified that she'd said something that stupid to one of her favorite actresses - she's a big "Murder, She Wrote" fan - but Angela was really cool about it, no doubt having encountered similar reactions many times.) :) My oldest son met Goldberg (of wrestling fame) at a shopping mall. He also met Dr. Midnight at GenCon, does that count? :) And I probably won't win any "cool" points for this one, but my Mom went to high school with John Wayne Gacy. (He was a senior, she was a freshman; they really didn't know each other that well.) Johnathan [/QUOTE]
