heheheh - I bet you do!!!

As a theatre nerd, lwhite53's meeting record is very cool. John Lithgow's currently doing Mr and Mrs Fitch on Broadway with Jennifer Ehle, which would be so great to see. He's apparently writing his memoirs.

I've always been really embarassed when I've met famous people in the context of work. Truthfully, they've always been really lovely, either when I've interviewed them or when I was bringing them dinner and pouring their drinks. So that's encouraging. I always feel a little silly, though - it must be so weird for them getting recognized and having people come up and say how wonderful they are and how much they love their work. I find it weird enough when someone says that to me after a wedding I've sung at, let alone if I did something that lots of people were witness to. That's probably why I try and treat them like anyone else. And before you say it, no, I don't give them the same s*** service I give everybody.

I must admit, I did get a little swoony after meeting Hugh Jackman. He is every bit as lovely as people in the industry would have you believe. And just as handsome. And Deborah Lee Furness, his incredibly talented wife, is also terrific. So she deserves him.
