Here are the celebrities I've run into so far (I'm not including politicians in this list):
John Candy - rode the elevator at the Delta Hotel in Montreal with him, then got his autograph.
Dan Aykroyd - bumped into him coming into a Consumer's Distributing in Kingston Ontario.
Dave Thomas (of SCTV fame) - saw him on the main drag in Kingston.
Kim Mitchell (musician) - passed him walking on Queen St in The Beaches area of Toronto.
How about you? Had any brushes with greatness?
I've had my brush with greatness for fourty four years running. This person is a very good friend and advisor, who is well known in the auto world. And my father. !!!
ReplyDeleteI saw Mordecai Richler in Harrod's in London, some girl from Party of Five (though I don't know if I;d call that greatness!), sat behind the guy that was the bossy radio announcer in good morning vietnam on a ride at Universal Studios. We were at a party where the Respectables played before they started to hit the big time...not sure how big they are outside of Quebec though...heidi
ReplyDeleteI met Michael Ironside (V, Total Recall, The Last Chapter) at the Bay (when Deerfoot mall was a shopping mall) about 12 years ago. He was shopping for Jeans for a movie he was shooting in Banff at the time. Got his autograph.
ReplyDeleteAlso met Ace Frehley in a "meet and greet" in the 80's. Got his autograph too.
