TV Bafta Awards

I'm a big Kevin Spacey fan, I didn't think he would be like that but i've also heard the same about Neil Diamond and that really surprised me as I always thought he was down to earth having taken awhile to make the big time.

Dusty was very nice to her fans and quite shy, she also did a very nice thing for a late friend of mine who came over from Cape Town for my 40th.

That was my experience but other times he might be ok ....I am shocked bout Neil diamond...but there again I'm not ....i love the film The Jazz Singer ....and his song with Streisand....I've heard the same about Liam nee son but then a nice report too ......Fame it seems is a funny old game

Perhaps it all depends on the day they've had as they have off-days too but then it works both ways some fans can be downright rude.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

You could be right Karl. The attitude of celebrities may depend on the circumstances of where they are or what they are doing at the time and it may be a time when they were expecting privacy and not for meeting up with fans, who knows. Just a few celebs may get carried away by what or who they are and think they are superior to the rest of us , ( we can let them think that can't we )
Some that we have met have been at concerts or while on holidays, but mainly over the years at charity events and social occasions for the Autistic Society with celebs from the entertainment industry, sports and what have you, we only have nice memories of them all.
Here's another example, we couldn't forget our Matt Monro fan club meet-ups when all the celebs were there in force and they were all friendly and sociable and happily posing for photos etc.
Now Matt himself was the best example of them all, never changed and liked by all.

Yes L&H in a situation like that you would expect them to be sociable.

Yeras ago my sister during a convention told me at the airport a colleague saw Ringo Starr and asked him for an autograph but he refused saying he was on holiday.

I suppose we have to put ourselves in their shoes and see how we would like it.

The price of fame eh?

He is one example of somebody who is ...up there. Don't like him .. Saw pail McCartney in concert ...amazing ..never met him but I feel he is a genius anyway ..., ....my mum was very upset when lesley crow there refused to give me an autograph in Great Yarmouth many years ago ..I was only 7 ....I didn't even know what or why I was asking ...mum sent me up ....he refused myself and another little child ...saying .."I'm too busy" ....i never forget his words ...and mum God bless always mentioned it ....poor lesley he had a terrible accident i remember which gave him brain damage....Mu would never have wished that on him

[maxine]

Sorry Lesley Crowther i mean ....crackerjack!!!!!! ....

[karl]

Peope like Llesley Crowther you'd expect to always be smiling etc; but to refuse a 7 year old child, mind you I heard the same thing about Bruce Forsyth and that was to a child las wellout Bruce Forsyth but that didn't' surprise me.

As for Paul McCartney I always thought he was an arrogant &*%^ anyway.

I also heard from an old friend that Dionne Warwick sailed out the stage door ignoring a queue of fans,

Brenda Lee was very nice and I also had my picture taken with her after her concert.

My friend Madeline Bell after doing two shows back to back met her fans within minutes of coming off-stage, she signed cd's and chatted to everyone and apologised to everyone for keeping them waiting as she chatted to everyone.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

I met Leslie Crowther when he visited our local Gaumont Cinema one afternoon at a bingo session, have his autographed photo. He was pleasant and chatted to everyone.

I always get sad when I think about it as he did seem in general a lovley person but my experience as a little girl wasn't a nice one of him

Just to mention ....Rodney Bewes ...top man ....( likely lads) ...my son went to see a play about the war a few months ago and my son sat and chatted for ages with him ...I am thrilled because i always love him in likely lads ..

Cameron Macintosh was adorable when I asked him for his autograph at the 25 year anni of Les Mis ....he wrote ....To Maxine ...thank you for being here .....( he doesn't take any prisoners when working in musicals ...has a temper but he came across so lovley) .......tell me to be quiet now lol .....all this name dropping ...(I'm becoming insufferable )

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Cameron Mackintosh was Harry's passenger a few weeks ago, and really nice and pleasant. No outstanding tip though.
We have an Ovaltiney record with Leslie Crowther talking about when he was a young boy of 14 at drama school and how Clarence Wright chose him and his wife Jean who was also at the drama school to do a comedy programme.
