Unexpected encounters with celebrities

^ When I saw Roma had posted in this thread so soon after me, I was certain the gravel driveway pile-on was continuing.

New York is full of interesting people.

Pile-on, pile-on... just a little joke

We've supposedly got a bunch of celebs in the neighborhood, but I'm pretty clueless about who people are.

The gf seems to know though.

I also know that the actor Leon ( Most famous for playing David Ruffin in the Temptations Movie) lives next to my job in Jersey City.

my local starbucks is across the street from a studio set, so celebs and semi-celebs are seen fairly often.

In the last month, I had flirty conversations with two of them. The first was the post-make-over girl from the 80's show blossom, and the other was Denise Richards. She liked the john lobb shoes.

Next time you tell this story, lead with Denise Richards.

My neighbor is a financial advisor and rap star David Banner is one of his clients. He moved into his house for a year. It was cool seing his Bentley cruising around.

1994, while living in South Beach, Jennifer Connelly frolicking topless in the pool at my apartment building with her then boyfriend Bill Campbell (both starred in The Rocketeer).

Did she notice them or did you have to point them out to her?

This evening on 6th ave and West 4th I saw this Quarterback for the Cleveland Browns name Brady Quinn.

No ****.... but that is one really good looking dude. The girl he was with was amazingly hot!!!!






And a 2nd very marginal sighting is Dr.Steve from channel 11 morning news!! But since that is the morning show i watch, that was a cool sighting. That dude is super tall.

How recent?

I saw JFK, Jackie, Lee Radzwill ( her sister) and Price Radzwill)
emerging from the now-closed Le Pavillion Restaurant in New York,
probably 1962. JFK and the Prince were in black tie and the ladies
in evening clothes. It was a private dinner and the crowd on the sidewalk
was maybe a dozen people.

Nikita Khruschev late 50s early 60s at the Commodore Hotel , New York,
leaving a news conference. He was attending the UN General Assembly.

Marina Vlady (georgeous French Actress of the 60s still active) on a street
in Paris. I was 20 and had the nerve to go up to her and tried to speak to
her in French. She was polite but not interested in my struggles with her
language.

Woody Allen 1976 Manhattan. Out walking with a beautiful woman
in the upper east side of Manhattan. She wore horn-rim glasses
and looked very Seven Sisters

Jerry Seinfeld at Barneys in LA around 2000/2002 .
He seemed to have a body guard with him.

Tangential to this thread, does anyone have famous neighbours? I will respect their privacy and won't say exactly who they are but in our building we have as neighbours an art photographer and two members of a legendary rock band. It's always a little odd seing them taking the trash out and stuff like that.

My parents live across the street from Pete Rose... who was a baseball player. When I lived in South Bronx, Flavor Flav lived on my block (Gerard and McClellan). When I lived in Williamsburg back around 2001, Norah Jones (singer) lived next door to me. Of course, these are not in my building and they are likely not up to the standards of your celebrity neighbors.

Who is David Banner? If he can afford a Bentley, why is he moving in w/ 'financial advisor' (****?)? What was cool - the Bentley, the rap star, or the fact that a Bentley was being driven by a rap star?

Comrade - You seem to have covered the spectrum nicely here....

Met Buzz Aldrin today. He was a pretty neat guy with some cool stories to tell.
