Actually I had a lovely chance encounter at Heathrow with Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing in Dallas) He was at the perfume counter……and I have to own up to maneuvering myself to standing next to him in the queue…… so maybe I am….
****Starstruck*****
He was lovely by the way :D
Nice one Mrs T!
I remember crying when Bobby died in DALLAS..
(I was quite the sensitive teen :oops: Twilight had nothing on me for angst!)Mind you, I cried even more when he returned the following year.
That was just embarrassing. :roll:Now you know how I felt when Alison Moyet died then came back to life a few months ago!!
Uh huh kenty..
In saying that, she did have a song called Love Resurrection.
Guess it was no big surprise O:)The fella on the left is someone I beat at pool.
He’s a nice guy; calls everyone “darling” and doesn’t like losing. Just like me – except for the “darling” bit (I prefer to use “sweetie”).

He’s called Bill Maynard and was Greengrass in Heartbeat.
actually theres a story behind that, my dad and me were watching selwyn froggit when he had a phone call to say my mum who was in hospital was in imminent labour and could he come now, he put down the phone sat down and i never forget when he said “mum’s having the baby now but i’m not missing this” and waited until it finished before he left :lol:

and was previously selwyn froggit but stilll called Bill Maynard :lol:
I’ve met a fair few celebs over the years, and despite their status most have never been too overwhelmed in my presence :lol:
A great deal of them have been stars of stage and screen here in Ireland, but I have to say that the most warm and engaging “celeb” I’ve ever met is the mighty Sir Ian McKellen.
He was over in Dublin in the mid 90s promoting his excellent screen adaptation of RICHARD III and was guest of honour at a special screening followed by a Q & A session. I had bagged myself tickets to this through a newspaper and it was a dream come true for any film geek.
Any preconceptions of a stuffy, ego driven theatre thespian were soon obliterated by this charming, self deprecating, extremely witty man who spent at least two hours fielding questions and relaying stories. It was a wonderful, intimate occasion.Imagine my utter delight when it was revealed a couple of years later that this guy would be playing Gandalf in the movie version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
Legend 8)
I met Soo from the Sooty Show back @ a Convention for Famous Bears. Such a diva! I’m sure she was doing both Sooty and Sweep at the same time.

Bears going at it like rabbits huh?
On a related topic.. Didn’t the guy who did Sooty meet a bizarre and unfortunate end with a TV aerial or something?
Or was that the Emu fella?
Dunno.. :roll:
