After I posted a recent Q&A with Brotherhood’s Annabeth Gish, my b5media blogger friend Taxgirl posted this comment about the star. It’s such a sweet story, I wanted to give it a little love on the main page:
Years ago, I was an extra in a movie that Annabeth was in (a little flick called Hiding Out with Jon Cryer). I was a really young teenager. I went to use the phone and got disoriented and ended up near the catering.
She and another actor came over and saw me standing there. I kind of assumed that she was going to be really snotty. I remember that she took her finger and ran it along the edge of a cake and ate the frosting and kind of giggled. And then she said hello and asked if I wanted anything from the table.
I, of course, being intimidated, said no and ran away. But I remember thinking that she didn’t act like a “movie star” at all — she seemed like a real person.
Thanks for sharing this, Kelly. Anyone else have star sightings to share?
All I’ve got is meeting Christopher Lloyd, the guy who played Doc in the Back to the Future movies, when he did summer stock theater in my hometown. He wasn’t as wacky in person as he was in character and I, being 11 years old, was really disappointed by his ordinariness.
