Judith Ivey hung out with people in my college dorm at Illinois State University; I often saw her. John Malkovich was there at the same time, but I don't remember meeting him. Does it count if it's your parent who knew someone? My father was in radio in the 1930s in Iowa and worked with Ronald Reagan. (My father didn't think much of him as an intellect, and would have been terribly surprised to learn RR was president; my father died in 1954.) My father met many celebrities of the '30s and '40s doing on-air promos for movies, including Cesar Romero, Agnes Moorhead and W.C. Fields. I'm envious of those of you who've met Julia Child!! |
