I once was walking down Sunset Blvd. on vacation. A limo pulled up in front of a shop. A guy jumped out, and before he went in the shop, he stopped, smiled a big smile, and waved at me. I thought, "Huh?" and kind of waved back. Then I realized it was Liam Neeson.
I must add that I'm an ordinary middle-aged woman. So it's not like he saw a hot babe - there was no one behind me! Liam Neeson is apparently just a nice guy. A smile instead of a scowl took the same time and left me thinking fondly of him. -

I am a college student who does cold calling in a call center as a part time job in California. The calls come up on a computer screen and we talk to the person. A co worker of mine got Sharon Stone and said "hello, is this Sharon" and Sharon said "hi is this Kathy, Amber, Katy, Missy" and the co worker said "what are you doing?" and Sharon replied "I am asking for names like you are" and the co worker called her a bitch and hung up on her and keeps her in the call backs. I thought it was amusing. I think she is a total witch

We've all had bad experiences with cold callers. Some are decent, but a lot are insufferable.
I assume she immediately recognised the call was cold, and effectively said ''Cut the crap. What are you trying to sell me?''
I know because I've done cold calling too.
And for the record, it is never acceptable to use profanity against a call recipient, no matter how harsh their words are. I'm amazed your friend wasn't fired on a spot. -

It's best to react to rebuffs for what they really are. It might
surprise you to realize that a great deal of actors lack self confidence
and they become defensive and fearful when confronted by a stranger. It's
always best to be kind no matter what the reaction is. Affection is
always the best route to take. -

It's sad that she couldn't bring herself to act graciously. It doesn't take that much time or energy. Generally, I try to avoid meeting the people I admire. There's just too much opportunity for them to disappoint you.
I used to work at a Los Angeles theater and we got a good number of celebrity visit. Fortunately most of them weren't rude (at worst they'd be guarded and distant). Some of the nicer celebrity encounters I'd had: Seth Green, Jacqueline Bisset (stunningly gorgeous in person BTW), Sam Rockwell, Rose McGowan and Elizabeth Hurley. I didn't meet him, but Quentin Tarantino was very friendly with the staff and chatted with them for a long while when he came by. So fortunately they're not all bad. -

Tarantino used to work as a video store assistant before he made it in Hollywood, so I can imagine him being great with cinema staff and others at the customer front of the film business. They probably remind him of himself.
