Stood behind Frances McDormand, Joel Coen and their kid in the customs line at JFK coming home from a trip to Denmark. We did not interact. They looked as tired as I felt. https://twitter.com/mavenofhonor/status/1260626632395685889

Saw David Johansen in a Manhattan drugstore when I was about 10. I knew him as Buster Pointdexter. We did not interact. I think he was buying gum.

Ate dinner at a Greek fish place on the UWS before a show at the Beacon with my mom and Gina in the early 2000s. Richard Dreyfus was having dinner with his kid at the next table. He was complaining to his kid about something and sounded like kind of an ass. We did not interact.

Had dinner at Peter Luger with my family. Ed Koch came in with his entourage and ate at the next table. We did not interact.

I do not talk to strangers and that goes double if you are a celebrity whom I recognize.

If you ask my sister, when we went to Hawaii when we were 12, Chris Elliott was in our tour group climbing Diamondhead. She swears it. However, I tell you IT WAS NOT HIM. It was just a blonde guy with thinning hair and a beard.

This thread makes it sound like I was a jetsetter who ate at fancy steakhouses all the time but the truth is we traveled budget and that Peter Luger thing was my first visit of two over a lifetime to date. Wish I could go again. Wonder if it will ever open again.
