I have a friend that made out with Larry Linville. She was a waitress at a dinner theater. He took her back to his hotel and they made out. She was only 16 or 17 and he had to be in his 50s. I’ve never let her forget. ---

Date? No… but I’ve had a celebrity pay to talk to me. One of the Baldwin brothers, actually. ---

Well, unlike some people I’ve noticed around here, I am not under the impression that there is anything even vaguely private about public posts on an internet message board. For this reason, I cannot and will not identify the person. Suffice it to say that they received the nomination sometime between 1970 and last year. 😉 Sorry, that’s the best I can do. stoid ---

An ex-boyfriend of mine was one of Cindy Crawford’s moving men. He helped maneouver her couch into the position Ms. Crawford wanted. That’s the closest I come to celebrity. _sigh._ –Scribble ---

I dated a guy for a while–or at least, I thought we were dating, he felt otherwise–who later won the Pulitzer Prize. His name got in the papers for it and stuff. Does that count? And while I did eventually get my heart broken, let the record show that the sex was _superb._ ---

All my encounters with famous people were pre-dating age. I got a kiss from Miss USA, but I was 8. I sat on the lap of Erin Moran at a telethon once, too. I am connected to a couple of celebrities through a couple of degrees of separation, however. I fooled around with a girl who later lived with a guy who was formerly married to one of the Manson Family. I also briefly dated a girl who slept with one of the guys in Deep Blue Something. ---

Let’s see… I briefly dated a catalogue model…no sadly not Victoria’s Secret. I did have a girlfriend for a number of years from a “Show-Biz” family. Her late father was a Broadway composer, her mom is a singer and her brother is an accomplished jazz musician. I also once had a roommate who dated not one, but two different “Miss States”…one was a Miss Teen NY and the other was [le grrr…]Miss Texas[/le grrr…]. ---

Count me as someone else who dated a Pulitzer prize winner (though I doubt it was the same one that **GrandfatherTrout** is talking about :)). **Anamorphic wrote:** > [@](#): > > So the rumors of the sexual prowess of Pulitzer Prize winners is TRUE!? I’ve never heard this rumor, but I’d say it was true in my experience 😃 I also used to date a guy who was a cameraman for a local TV station, and while he wasn’t well known since he never appeared onscreen, I remember it being very unnerving when we went out with some of the folks who did have the on-camera jobs. Everyone would stare at our table in restaurants. It gave me the willies, but I guess you get used to it, because the people who were actually getting stared at didn’t turn a hair. My great-aunt dated former Wisconsin senator William Proxmire, but when he asked her to marry him she said no because she couldn’t imagine being the wife of a politician. Can’t say I blame her. ---

Well, since we already seem to be stretching the definiton of “celebrity” to the breaking point anyway, I’ll mention that I dated a gal who was in a nationally run commercial – granted she was ten when she did it – and she was playing second fiddle to a Barbie doll. Her big line was: “Her hair changes color like magic!” She was also in a McDonalds commercial, but all she had to do there was act enthusiastic about Mc Nuggets or something. ---

Not unless having been on “The Real World” makes you a celebrity. :rolleyes: Oh, it wouldn’t matter anyway because I dated him before he was “famous”. ---

Actually it wasn’t so much the noxema girl as some slutty girl in a porn flick. I suppose I wasn’t really dating her. It guess I was more dating my hand while watching her get it on with some other guy. Really though in the overall scheme of things I think I’m doing pretty well… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ever-date-a-celebrity/85761.md?page=2)
