Weekend Assignment #5: Recount your most memorable encounter with celebrity.
If you haven't met anyone famous and don't know anyone who has, here's an alternate assignment: Reveal your first celebrity crush (and of course, for extra credit, do both).The celebrity that I encountered once was Sally Jesse-Raphael. This was back in the late 70's or early 80's before she had a TV show. At that time she was a radio talk show host and I listened to her program nightly. She gave out wonderful advice to people with problems ranging from marital situations to work issues. I loved her show and so it was obvious that when she came to town I would go and see her.
She was one of the nicest people that I'd ever met. She was unpretentious and so friendly and nice. She walked around with my girlfriend and me for some time chatting and visiting like we were old friends.
I was very impressed with her before I met her, and I was definitely impressed after I met her.
I give a thumbs up for Sally!
My first celebrity crush was when I was in the 5th or 6th grade and they guy was actor John Paine. He was old enough to be my father for God's sake, but he was so handsome! Of course it was a one sided situation and didn't last too long. If he'd had only known that he sent this girl's heart to reeling just to look at him!
There you have it. Not too interesting but 100% the truth!

John Payne was very cute. I remember him from "Miracle on 34th Street." I liked Sally Jesse in the early days too. I remember her having a TV show over 20 years ago that was on at 3AM here in NY before she got her daytime show. She's a nice woman as far as I can tell. : )
