I am aware of some of the famous-est U.S. television personalities, but I bet that I'd have exactly the same reaction to being introduced to about 98% of current US tv stars as you had to being introduced to Ernie Dingo! <br /><br />"Ernie who?"bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-40581686105115493542010-01-21T03:07:41.680-05:002010-01-21T03:07:41.680-05:00Wana know my first sighting of a celebrity.Well yo...Wana know my first sighting of a celebrity.Well you are gunna hear it. I was an entrant in the energy challenge which is about environmentally friendly cars. So I enters this challenge with a car that I built at the local technical college for about $100.We left Sydney central and proceeded to Penrith at the western side of Sydney.The next day we were in Orange in the middle of the state and all the camera crews came to interview the teams Then it came my turn and this bloke turns up and he says his name is Earnie Dingo. So I says who?Earnie Dingo came the reply...Never heard of ya before...By this time the blokes thinks Im pulling his leg and I thinks hes pulling mine. Then one of my cousins says to Mr Dingo he don't have TV and he don't know who you are.Cause this guy then has a laugh so me being polite laughs as well.Cause I'm a bit deaf as well.It wasnt til later I found out who he realy was..So there you are I didn't recognize him even when I was introduced to him....Cheers StewartRaefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02940475694408510246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-9504677767167162692010-01-21T02:49:49.582-05:002010-01-21T02:49:49.582-05:00Actually, I was dabbling in mysteries before I met...Actually, I was dabbling in mysteries before I met Hillerman, but meeting him did increase my enthusiasm for the genre -- I'd mostly been working on science fiction at the time.

I got a simila..."Who's Eartha Kitt?"<br /><br />I got a similar reaction when I told my kids that I had a phone conversation with Henny Youngman. But at least I got him to tell me a joke.

I don't think I left any comments but I enjoyed <i><a href="http://itsfiveoclocksomewhere.blogspot.com/search/label/nanowrimo" rel="nofollow">Murder on the Sports Desk</a></i>. <br /><br />The apostrophes thing in particular cracked me up!<br /><br />Back to the original topic - I think that most people who get to be famous probably do like being famous. But when you get to be Eartha Kitt level famous - well, it's got to be nice to have a few places you can go without people asking you to sing "Santa Baby" or make that Catwoman growl or something.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-25761460282421219082010-01-19T20:52:22.991-05:002010-01-19T20:52:22.991-05:00Well, there was the time I was sitting next to Ton...Well, there was the time I was sitting next to <a href="http://itsfiveoclocksomewhere.blogspot.com/2008/12/in-memoriam.html" rel="nofollow">Tony Hillerman</a> and didn't realize it. It was at a writing conference where he was the scheduled guest of honor and keynote speaker, so I really should have realized who he was.<br /><br />Yeah, Eartha Kitt's a great lady. Must have been interesting to know her as a person and not as a celebrity -- and she may have been glad to be regarded that way, too.Carol Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201269435839112134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-82655122435577922692010-01-19T19:16:16.310-05:002010-01-19T19:16:16.310-05:00Well, this is actually the first time I'm writ...Well, this is actually the first time I'm writing about it.
