here we go again

 

Who was the most pleasant or god-awful celebrity you have ever met face to face?

I’ve met quite a few celebrities and 3 in particular stand out in my memory:

Phylicia Rashad was and still is the most elegant woman I’ve ever encountered. She was dignified and regal like a queen, yet warm and kind and just so together in every way. She had this air about her that was so impressive that it made everyone just want to be near her.

Deborah Winger was demanding, disheveled, irritable, nervous, chain smoking and just gave off this air of being pissed off at everything and everyone. She was like a heroin addict suffering from the early stages of withdrawal. Totally the opposite in every way of Phylicia Rashad.

I’ve worked with Yo Yo Ma several times and he is the most decent, caring, funny, modest, generous and thoughtful person you could ever hope to meet. A brilliant musician and a true master of his craft, yet he seems genuinely modest about his abilities and status.

Debra Lynn Winger  was born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, into a Jewish family, to Robert Winger, a meat packer, and Ruth (née Felder), an office manager.[2][3]

Once again, Jews need Hashem and mitzvos.
