| Sure, I'll join in, what the heck. :^) I saw her at "Outside Mullingar" at MTC, and right after the play she was eagerly telling her companion they had to go back to visit the dressing rooms. I don't know if she knew Debra Messing or another of the actors personally, or maybe she saw that as part of her duty as a celebrity when seeing a play? |

| I used to see her at the theater quite frequently. One time I remember was at a random Monday evening performance of DRIVING MISS DAISY, the Vanessa Redgrave/James Earl Jones revival, well into the run. I assume that because of her busy schedule she didn't always get to opening nights or press previews as most celebrities tend to do. I distinctly remember her wiping away tears during the final scene between Redgrave and Jones. | |

| My turn...lol. Back in the seventies, I had arrived in Los Angeles and worked at a trendy West Hollywood restaurant. One day Joan Rivers came in and I was able to tell her how much I had enjoyed a recent TV movie she had written and would it be repeated. In her typical fashion, she shouted, "Write those network sons of bitches!" I mentioned I was looking forward to seeing her the following week at a place called Ye Little Club which she regularly appeared at. She told me to mention a name when I arrived. Then she actually punched my arm (lightly) and yelled, "Write it down. Write it down!" When I arrived I was seated at a ringside table and told Ms. Rivers was taking care of the check and would like to see me afterward. After the show, I was escorted to her dressing room where I was introduced to a warm Florence Henderson and an icky Roddy McDowell. Ms. Rivers refrained from talking to her visitors, sat me down next to her, and wanted to know all about me. She was incredibly gracious and comfortable to be with. To this day, she's one of the nicest people I've met. | |
