to the OP:
What did you expect? Of course,she's may not be the "down to earth, friendly person" you admire on screen. However, what should SHE expect by being at a public event? I agree she should had acknowledged you; you met at her at an event, not the 7-11. Actors don't necessarily have the same appreication for us as we do for them. It depends on the actor.
These stars want it both ways sometimes. -

I met her this past Saturday at a convention and she is one of the nicest people I have met. I got her autograph and she flirted with me
I paid for a professional photoshoot with her that the convention organisers offer and she remembered me from when I got her autograph earlier. She squeeled in excitement and welcomed me with open arms. In the picture that was taken she is hugging me
Baby, you make me wish i had three hands. -

I totally disagree, I met her today, I work for US Airways and I checked her and her daughter in, she was super nice to us, along with her daughter being super nice, they complimented my tattoo and Lea even gave one of my co-workers a signed autographed photo. Everyone has their bad days, and she is no exception.

lea does not owe you a thing. get over it. too much hero worship is not a good thing. work on being the best person you can be and don't worry about how others react. expectations lead to disappointment.

Sorry about your experience.
You have to understand though, for us, it's a movie experience that we hold dear to our hearts because of whatever reason, whether it's because it resonated with us for some reason, or because we were kids at the time we saw it and the movie was larger-than-life to us.
To her, it was a moment of many moments in her professional career. And even though she might have had some fun making the movie, it was like a job to her. And we might say, well it was a great job to be able to have, and that's true, but when you've been in acting all your life, those experiences still can get boiled down into just another day at the office.
Except for her, these few days at the office is sometimes all anyone ever remembers her for.
She's been acting for decades since then, but then people come up to her and still want to call her Lorraine, or act like Back To The Future was the only movie she ever did. It can grow old pretty fast.
Take a look at what Leonard Nimoy went through. He hated being remembered as Spock for a long, long time. He even wrote a book, "I Am Not Spock", trying to sort it out. It wasn't until much later, in his later years, that he came to grips with it and was able to accept it for what it was, and then wrote the subsequent book, "I Am Spock" after he had come to terms with it.
More than anything, I just wouldn't take it personally. You got to meet her, and got to at least speak to her, and that's about all you can hope for. It's not like she was going to become a best friend from a chance meeting at a convention or event. Just try to see it from her point of view and don't sweat it.
It wasn't about you or because of a failing of yours.
