Ok, Zev, you got me. I’m not really the Lindbergh baby. Actually, I am John Galt.
I’M BRIAN!!!
(hence the first initial)
…and I might like to add that in Akron I’m world famous.
I was in Ferris Buehler’s Day Off. With my son. In the parade.
Which ones, how were they, pictures?, and who’s gay?
Thanks Spoiler virgin.
Yeah? Well I’m Alfred Dreyfus, Army Captain and wrongly accused star of L’Affaire Dreyfus. You might remember me from my “Ask the Guy who was immortalized by Emile Zola!” thread.
Off the top of my head, some that I have met:
Gena Rowland, Ben Gazzara, Linda Hamilton, Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Short, Sandra Dee, Betty White, Tom Selleck, Alfre Woodward, Jane Fonda, Timothy Dalton, Tim Curry, Christopher Reeve, Charleton Heston, John Ritter, Sarah Jessica Parker, Barry Boswick, Sean Penn, Brooke Shields, Steven Crosby, Luke Perry, Delta Burke, Gerald McCraney, Carol Burnett, Roseanne Barr, Shelly Winters, Anne Margaret, Steve Allen, Audrey Meadows, Ned Beatty, Bea Arthur, Rhea Perlman, Danny DiVito, Brad Pitt, Richard Thomas, Helen Hunt, Lew Wasserman, Lucille Ball, Lauren Bacall…there are a lot more but those are the ones who come to mind instantly. I had an unpleasant “run in” with Sylvester Stallone once.
Re: sex with whom and who is gay…sorry, no can tell.
Thanks to my involvement in my local crime watch (co-coordinator, in case you were salivating to know), and also thanks to the fact that Cumberland is a VERY small city, my picture has been in the local newspaper at least six times, twice in color. Does that count?
Also, my father-in-law was listed in the credits of an episode of Nova, once.
I’m not a celebrity, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.
Thank you, SpoilerVirgin, for the link to the last “Famous Dopers” thread. I’ve been trying like mad to figure out who “5 time champ” is, and that clinched it.
-Myron
Also reasonably famous in Jeopardy! circles.
The only reason I opened this thread was the off chance that The Man Who (listed as the most recent poster) was actually a member of the band Travis.
Damn.
You met Bea Arthur?
Kewl.
What’s he like?
I have been mentioned by name in the “Notice to Mariners.”
Yeah right. 
The Man Who holds the record for most money won in one day on Jeopardy!–$50,000.
It took me 5 days to win $50,703.
Yeah, yeah…even I make jokes about her, but to be honest, she is really very nice (although she and one of the members of the Golden Girls cast hated each other). The woman detests wearing shoes…ever…could be because she is about 9’6" tall. She has a great sense of humor about herself and has perfect comic timing in front of an audience. But I think we are all safe in assuming she will not be posing for Playboy or Penthouse anytime soon.
**I have been mentioned by name in the “Notice to Mariners.”

I’ve been mentioned on restraining orders signed by some of the greatest stars of all time. (Not to namedrop, but Linda Lavin, Ruth Buzzi, and Bonnie Franklin are just a few of the people I can’t go within 300 yards of!)
My older brother, Matt, is Peter North, the actor.
Nicest celebrity I’ve ever met: James Earl Jones. (I was a bellman at the time and helped him to his room; the minute he got there, he opened a suitcase and placed a framed photo of his wife and son next to his bed, which I thought was hellacool.)
Coolest celebrity I’ve ever met: The late and irreplaceable Roddy McDowell. (He stayed for two weeks at a hotel where I worked and attended at least one movie everyday, even when he was working; on his off-days he would attend several; just thinking of the number of people he placed me within 6 degrees of is awesome.)
Most obnoxious celebrity I’ve ever met: a tie:
either
1- Mary Steenburgen (even does the “sunglasses and scarf so nobody will recognize me” Hollywood cliche, in spite of the fact that this was in Alabama and nobody would have recognized her if she’d walked down the street wearing a sandwich board saying HI I’M MARY STEENBURGEN- MRS. TED DANSON AND WINNER OF THE BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS OSCAR FOR “MELVIN AND HOWARD (1980)”.
2- Mickey Rooney- a total miserable little prick of a man (though his wife was nice). He literally yelled at a man who politely asked for his autograph, bitched out a desk clerk because she made his wife show ID when she asked to be let into the room (as if Mickey Rooney’s wife is somebody a 19 year old girl should recognize), then immediately became a smiling, bubbly buffoon when a reporter from the local newspaper walked in.
I am the Kwisatz Haderach.
I was once featured in a show on German TV. Here is some discussion about it that I can’t read.
