Not the UFO kind.
I mean Celebrity Sightings.
My friend Jen (see previous post) LOVED hearing about sightings! She figured since I live in LA, I must be seeing people all the time. Not so much, really. But yes, occasionally, I do have sightings. Some better than others.
So in Jen's honor, I'll list a few...
Last night I saw former California Governor Gray Davis in the San Jose airport. Not bad. Last Friday I saw Billy Dee Williams at the Equinox Spa in Century City. (It was Spa Week.) Double Bonus.
My children's pediatrician's office is in Beverly Hills. (Yes, THE Beverly Hills.) So I do have quite a few sightings when we have check-ups.
Once when my son Charlie was a baby, Anne Bancroft made googly eyes, coo'ed, and generally behaved in a very grandmotherly way toward him as we passed each other in a hallway. She told my son he "was such a handsome young man, yes he was!" in a cute, baby-talk voice. It was quite adorable.
That same visit to the doctor’s office also netted a sighting of Calista Flockhart walking her dog and Peter Falk, talking on a pay phone. (YES, a PAY phone.)
One trip to the doctor for my son, Oscar, netted a short conversation with Larry King as we all waited for the elevator together. (Big Head.) Another time I saw Richard Schiff in the same hallway, but he was traveling Incognito, and so we didn’t speak, as is customary, of course.
On a recent visit to Oscar’s asthma specialist we almost nearly ran into Nicollette Sheridan, who was in quite a rush and seemed late for something, although quite pleasant.
Jen would have liked hearing about Nicollette.

Jen would be so pleased...
lovely stuff about her! liked the piece about the uninvited girl at the party.
