Surprised to see negative comments about Norman Wisdom. My old boss and his wife went on a cruise, and Norman was on the same cruise. (He was there as a passenger, not as an entertainer.) They said he was absolutely lovely, very nice with everyone who came up to him, and had time for them all.
Sorry to hear that Ade Edmondson is not as nice in real life. I always thought that he seemed such a lovely guy. Obviously, he must be a good actor!! Someone I know met Toby Stephens. They had just seen him on stage in a play and waited to meet him at the stage door afterwards. They said he was lovely, humble, and signed lots of autographs, and chatted with the people there.

Waiting in the rain ? Seems a bit pointless to me but each to his or her own ! It is voluntary, though.
Some years back was waiting for booked taxi at the National Theatre. When a taxi arrived, we'd been waiting for ages..about half an hour and the driver called out my name I answered clearly and loudly, " Yes, that's us". Neil Kinnoch and Glenys his wife who were with some friends and were all standing right next to us. They'd not long got there...just a minute or so. With that, Glenys strode forward towards the taxi. " Come on ! ", she said to the friends. " Oi !", I said loudly. " You know, that's not your taxi !". She ignored me. Neil Kinnoch called her back. " No, Glenys. We'll call a cab or walk back ". I thanked him. I'm Welsh as well but she'd have left anyone, there ! I met her on a few other occasions and thought that she was very fond of herself indeed. He however didn't have any airs and graces. |

I happened to see them out and about once. They were in a bookshop and while Neil wandered about looking at what was on the shelves, Glenys spent about half an hour arguing with the customer assistant because they wouldn't accept her card for some reason. It amused me because the guy looked pretty young and probably had no idea who they were. Always thought she seemed a terrifying person.

A couple of months ago, mum and i were in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery here in Glasgow.
As we came round the corner into one of the galleries, I saw a woman that I thought looked familiar. I couldn't place her, but thought that she was an actress. Before I knew what was happening, my mum's voice boomed out "I know your face, where would it be from?" The woman was a wee bit taken aback, but told us that she was an actress - what would we have seen you in? Well, she says, I've done theatre, film, and TV - including Heartbeat!!!!! Mum's favourite! When she said that, both me and mum remembered that she was the police woman who kept chasing Phil Bellamy!!!! We discussed what a lovely show Heartbeat was, and how much mum missed it but always watched the repeats on ITV3. The lady's name is Georgie Glen and she was very gracious with us despite having her pleasant cultural afternoon disturbed by a Heartbeat fan! PS on the way out of the gallery, mum was talking about how lovely she was and how it had made her afternoon meeting her. But - mum confessed that she nearly said "I know your face - where from? - Do you go to the bingo in Parkhead!!!!!" |

I taught Gemma Bissex when I was training - she was very nice but she did try to sell her autograph for 10p on the playground! She had just got the part in EE at the time.
I nearly killed Stephen Fry at the Embankment station - it was Gay Pride and I was looking for my friend. I thought if I went on the bridge I would have more chance of spotting him. It worked, but in my haste to get back down the stairs I pushed into Mr Fry, almost sending him backwards. I was firstly apologetic and then startstruck, he seemed rather amused. Then there was the time I saw a woman I thought I knew in the Disney Store. I couldn't quite place her, thought she might be a friend of my mum. I went up to her and said hello etc. She turned and said hello, looking a little confused. It then dawned on me that it was Pauline Quirke! Oh, and I stepped on Dean Gaffney in a nightclub. He was laying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. I remember my flatmate and I had a row about who he was in EE. We were a bit worse for wear! Another one - Nigel Havers picked me up and gave me a kiss when I fell over a chain link fence. I was three at the time. He was playing golf at the course where my dad worked. I still have a bit of a crush on him. |

I knew Kimberley Walsh pre-Girls Aloud and she was an absolute bitch. She was the class bully at school.

What a let down to be like that, funny thing is I've seen loads of pics and videos of Rik Mayall greeting fans with all the cheeky niceness in the world. And I always got the impression that Ade was the nicer of the 2, certainly not so now.

Just a random shot, but I realized it's actress Dervla Kirwan's birthday today.
Has anyone had an encounter with her? |

Oh and I know someone who met Ainsley Harriott and he kept commenting on her boobs to other people and was a total creep. He offered to make her his mistress. Um. Yes.
Allegedly. |

I'm scared of getting bashed! Her sister Sally (who was at that point the famous sister because she was in Emmerdale for a couple of years) is LOVELY. The pair of them taught dance and drama and Sally was brilliant and engaging and Kimberley sat there and filed her nails and looked bored
I'm not scared - would you like me to do it for you?!

Nice:
Derren Brown. One of the nicest guys I've ever met. Seriously. He really is a lovely bloke. Will Young, again, great fella. Met him a few times and he's fab. Someone mentioned Simon Cowell earlier in the thread. He's a nice guy. (Not shy with his fags either, which is always a bonus in my book, lol) Not Nice: Eddie Izzard. Having said that, I haven't spoken to him for a few years (because I found him such an asshole) so he might have changed and became a nicer person. But I doubt it. |

How did you realize that??
![]() She's one of those obscure actress but I liked her in this year's BBC1 Blackout. Seeing a lot of well-known actors being mentioned, I was curious as to the lesser known ones. |

I stopped driving people around for a living about 12 years ago and have forgotten a lot of them but the ones that I do remember who stood out are ........
Joanna Lumley ...... lovely, sweet person, charming. Richard Wilson ...... the opposite to Victor Meldrew, friendly. Brian Blessed .... big guy, big voice, big heart. Mariella Frostrup ...... gorgeous in all respects and the not nice ..... Dennis Waterman Nick Hewer I could comment on these two but I have nothing nice to say. Edit: just remembered another one, Sinead O'connor who was surprisingly quite ordinary (at the time) |

Admittedly, I haven't met very many celebrities, but I can't recall ever having any unpleasant experiences.
