But I can pass my own kids on the street without noticing. Same with friends. I am always completely startled when they call my name. I know for certain I regularly see well known Israelis and don't notice them either, even after DH or someone else points them out. Not sure what that is about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting/page/2#post-2027777 Thu, 16 May 2019 23:44:45 +0000 Roberta 2027777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Aunt had the best story about going to New York in the 60s and being on the elevator with RICHARD BURTON. He asked her politely if he could look at her newspaper for the racing scores.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another friend of mine rode the elevator (in her Chicago high rise in the 80)s with Sean Connery. She said he was very chatty and friendly and a part of her was DYING. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting/page/2#post-2027711 Thu, 16 May 2019 18:02:40 +0000 Carla 2027711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've run into a few athletes who happen to be working out at the same venue while visiting friends or family in the area.

The most recent was in NYC. DTwin and I crossed paths with Mikhail Baryshnikov. He was wearing a black trench coat.<br /> Our area is home to several well known people during the summer months and a place to visit for others. Over the years I have seen Barbara Bel Geddes ( wearing a floral blouse, blue cardigan and a pearl necklace), John Travolta ( Ray Bans on the top of his head and a big smile.....sorry......I don’t remember his clothing ) and Robert Redford ( a plaid cotton shirt and jeans). His daughter went to college nearby). Martha Stewart is frequently seen at local markets when staying at her summer home. I have met a few Rockefellers and Astors at charity events. Years ago, DD waited on Susan Sarandon and Glenn Close ( not on the same night). There have been reported sightings of many others, but I have not personally seen them. I missed out on a Patrick Swazey sighting by just a few minutes. Drat.<br /> I have been fortunate to meet several people who are well known for their businesses or their philanthropy and been invited to their homes, through the work that DH does for them. After summer cottages are built, or renovated, it is customary to have a “ thank you” celebration, inviting everyone who worked on the project to attend. I must say that every single person I have met at these functions has been incredibly kind, humble and gracious. One person gave an annual 4th of July event for years complete with food, bands, guest appearances and performances by recording artists and a fireworks show that rivaled Disney World’s.<br /> My favorite visit was to the home of the owners of Campbell Soups and Godiva Chocolates. Lovely people and an equally lovely spread of food, including, of course, multiple tiered serving pieces filled with Godiva chocolates. It. Was. Heavenly. And filling........ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting/page/2#post-2026461 Sat, 11 May 2019 23:25:55 +0000 bj1111 2026461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i've rubbed elbows (literally) with hillary clinton</p> <p>sighted bernie sanders and sheryl sandberg in the same night at the same resto<br />attended a play with rachel brosnahan in which alan cumming was naked on stage<br />saw hilary swank and her beau in an ice cream shop<br />attended a 6th grade graduation with ben affleck where he pretended to be normal and everyone else pretended he was normal<br />gave an honorary degree with charles woodson<br />met alfred taubman (developer of the first shopping mall)</p> <p>my sister and jennifer garner are moms in the same brownie troop.&nbsp; apparently she is very down to earth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting/page/2#post-2026214 Fri, 10 May 2019 16:04:43 +0000 Angie 2026214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw Kirk Douglas at the Mandarin Hotel in HK in the '70s.</p> <p>Actually, celebs ARE hard to recognize on the street.

What a lovely story.</p> <p>I lived near Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward, we would see them at the local grocery store all the time.

They are ahead of me and I am out to lunch as usual.&nbsp; I look up and Kendyl and Kylie?&nbsp; Kardashian walk out, pass me and get into the purple sports car.&nbsp; I think it was a Lamborghini.&nbsp; Anyways I got the biggest kick out of watching the girls getting all giggly and silly.&nbsp; I am not really into movie stars but I would love to meet several of the individuals Angie mentioned in her list.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting#post-2026066 Fri, 10 May 2019 00:53:19 +0000 April 2026066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your comments have been such fun to read!<br /> Must admit I don't recognize a lot of the names mentioned here (like Suz, I'm kind of immune to celebrity) but I have also noticed that even if you don't know *who* someone is, you can often tell that they're "someone".</p> <p>There's a look, a vibe, their carriage - something tells you that this is someone used to being looked at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting#post-2026003 Thu, 09 May 2019 18:44:01 +0000 Suz 2026003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to see quite a lot of celebrities in Toronto during the film festival and during shoots. You see them in Vancouver, too, either on location or just visiting. But I am almost entirely celebrity immune -- I have close to zero interest in most and wouldn't recognize a lot of them. DH always nudges me to look but unless it is a famous author, I'm indifferent.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, I should modify that. If they were wearing a really amazing outfit, I'd be curious and interested and want to look. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting#post-2025998 Thu, 09 May 2019 18:35:31 +0000 Jane 2025998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sat at the next table in v close proximity to Liz Hurley at a work lunch; she was phenomenally polished and pristine.

Not sure I'd recognize her (showing my age).<br />I was in London at law school so saw lots of the 90s Brit Pop types - Sienna Miller, Noel Gallagher etc But my best spot was Kate Moss (with Sadie Frost) at a gastropub in Primrose Hill.

This Getty picture was taken then. We were waiting around for our flight when we were surrounded by paparazzi. I had to ask one of them who he was. We don’t have paparazzi where I live (the sticks). They were expecting him, which I thought was interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nyc-fashion-sighting#post-2025987 Thu, 09 May 2019 18:11:20 +0000 Anonymous 2025987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to add that I met Bruce Springsteen before he made it really big.

Yolanda Hadid lives less than 10 miles from me. In fact,&nbsp; I visited her estate a few years before she purchased it The previous owner created a lavender farm and they gave tours and had an on site store where they sold lavender products (including lavender honey)&nbsp; It is quite beautiful. I keep hoping to run into her one day,&nbsp; but I am sure I would not even know if I did or not.</p> <p>There are quite a few "famous" people who choose to either live or visit here, but I would never know. I did, however,&nbsp; spot Darryl Hannah and Neil Young last year I believe. Someone else told me who they were first. I guess I am terrible at recognizing faces.
