amelie13: Have you met anyone famous? Maybe you got their autograph once, or shared a plane trip. Maybe you went to school with a celebrity -- or are even related to one.
What were they like? I'd love to hear about your brush with fame.
Yes.
I met King Constasntine and Queen Fredericka of Greece in Corfu when I was a little boy of four. I fell in love with their open-top car and wentb for a spin with them.
I also met the actor David Niven on an aeroplane when i was about seven years old.
I also met some actors and actresses in a hotel in Dubrovnic when aged about 8 or 9.
I met some gorgeous woman who was filming in Malta in about 1972 at a nightclub - I was seventeen. I remember dancing with her and was almost totally overcome by the awesome beauty of her cleavage.
In Swansea, UK, I met Linda Lucardi in 1990 (she was the original page three girl) in a restaurant at 3 a.m. in the morning (a friend had cadged some freebie restarant tickets from the local Casino).
Linda Lucardi was taking part in a pantomine 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarves'. She was lovely, and has a great personality. A blonde dancer was with her and the actors who played the dwarves. The blonde looked great on stage, but was nothing close up compared to Lucinda who must have been over 40 but was far more beautiful than the young girl in her 20's.
That's about it - apart from my Dad.... he was my hero!
