I have had some interesting meetings with "famous" people from world famous musicians, to high achieving sportspeople to Penthouse Pets of the Month to Australian politicians to a hobo in the street.

Want to know the difference between these people when compared to you and me? THERE IS NONE! Just a bunch of flesh and bones.

I have never have and never will hold any of these people "in awe" because of their "status". In the main, they are ordinary people.

And yes @Suzanne rose, I could write a book on my life experiences that would rival Tolstoy's "War And Peace" for sheer volume!
I agree with you Veggie I have never put anyone on a pedestal
 
I'm a little nobody from nowhere but the thousands of people I have met in my short 63 years in life have all been life changing too me. A lot were not so called famous but also a lot were. And I count my lucky stars that most of these people took the time to say quick or longer greeting too me. I never really say or write their names as mostly I have no proof of our encounters but my own memories.
I doubt that you are “a little nobody from nowhere” @NotNats. It sounds to me you are humble, respectful and appreciative of the many people that have been in your life.

l don't see what all the fuss is about they are just actors doing a job like everyone else. We were looking after my sisters house in Mooney Mooney and a producer from ''Skippy'' asked if they could do some scenes using the shop part of the house. Ken James was very friendly and even had a bath in the house but the others were up themselves and stayed in their van.Same with the old codgers from ''Country Practice' who we saw in Kmart Hornsby they just glared at us as if to say 'don't bother us'' we didn't want to anyway also the guy that played the doctor same show. Met Barry Crocker in Red S Hornsby he was a nice friendly guy but we didn't bother him or the others mentioned for autographs.

Dr Alan, a very good mate of mine also worked at Atlab, Ian Russell, and another guy Neil, he had a beard.. Ian use to keep us up-to-date on all the movies that he was developing.. He got to show us some of the early Rex Mossop shows on Rugby League etc. Wondering if you were there at the same time. Ian was there at Atlab up to when 'Skace' took over Channel 7 and guttered it. Ian was devastated as most of his superannuation was missing when it came time for him to retire.
