??How Do You Know???

Daily writing prompt
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Uh…

Hopefully my response doesn’t backfire somewhere.

Like on me.

I have problems remembering faces and names… but I did meet a disc jockey from a local radio station years ago. I also met the Kratt brothers years and years ago.

My aunt worked with Hollywood actors, and little my cousin got to meet them. He’s got lots of pictures.

… I miiight have screamed in shock to see a picture of him and Bo Derek.

This is why my cat Bo is called ‘Bo.’ Whether the cat was male or female, it was gonna be named ‘Bo.’

Female: Bo for Bo Derek

Male: Bo for Bo Brady

My cousin’s been around people like that so often while he was growing up, that at one point, he thought it was normal.

It was not normal for most people.

My aunt’s got lots of labeled pictures from prior jobs and molds of actors’ faces.

No, I am not listing all of them, nor the producers or directors she’s worked with, but it has been a lot of them.

Yes, she’s worked on some extremely well known movies, has done commercials, shorts and worked at award ceremonies.

No, I am no longer as impressed as I was before. Seeing candid pics reminds you of how human they really are. Fame really doesn’t matter that much at the end of the day.

I did meet Joe Dulude years ago because my aunt was taking over his job on “Wicked” for a period of time.

Yes, she tested the makeup for Elphaba on me to prove it could work on black skin.

Yes, I have pictures of it. On my pc somewhere. Or a flash drive.

So that’s also how I met Dee Roscioli. She’s really nice!

A family member knowing extremely famous people personally does not count as meeting them directly nor indirectly.

My cousin and by extension, my dad, both got to meet celebrities in person because of my aunt’s job.

My dad also met the Dog Whisperer, Caesar Millan.

In a bathroom of all places.

He actually addressed the man and ask him if he was the Dog Whisperer. And the man told him that “not right now” he wasn’t, while rushing to use the bathroom.

Oh… and she also worked with different Supreme Court justices and a few of the presidents… I think.

Her resume was like 9 pages long. In small print. I formatted it for her years ago and could only get it down to 6 pages.

Hooooo.
