I saw "the Raquel smile" too even under the worst of circumstances. Unfortunately, true story here. I was seated in a restaurant at a table next to Ms. Welch's. At one point two women, who must've heard she was there, actually walked right up to her table to get a close look at the actress. And within hearing distance, I heard one woman loudly say to the other, "Hey, we look better than she does" (which was far from the truth). Of course, my attention and others were drawn to Welch's reaction who nodded to them and gave them a big huge smile. I adored Welch after that.
I've often wondered if peoples realize their rudeness when in the presence of a celebrity? I've seen times when people will silently walk within a foot of someone and just continue on. It's as if their curiosity hath no bounds. So I guess rudeness is rudeness regardless of who the person is. |
