The Friday Five
1. If you could eat dinner with and "get to know" one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? Jesus Christ. I didn't always feel that way. Just a few years ago I might have said Bruce Springsteen or Sandra Bullock. But now, I think I'd like to find out how Jesus feels about the world today, and if I'm living my life in a way that he thinks is okay.
2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel? I was really sad when JFK Jr. died. I can't quite place my finger on the reason why. Part of it is that I'd had a crush on him since I was 16. Also, I think he had a lot of potential and was just beginning to live up to it. I was also very sad when Princess Diana died. I think she really was a good person with a good heart and wanted to help people.
3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose? Sandra Day O'Connor
4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who? Quite a few, actually. Mostly though (this is when I was thin) it's been Drew Barrymore or (now) Rosie O'Donnell.
5. Have you ever met anyone famous? Yes. Hillary Clinton, Ben Vereen, Leslie Uggams, Maureen McGovern, Crystal Gayle, Marilyn Horne, Doc Severinsen, the Oakridge Boys, football Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Joe Theisman, Pro-Bowl football player Henry Jones, football players Jack Lambert, Jack Webster and Rocky Bleir and the guy who invented Zippo lighters (he was my neighbor). I also talked to Tom Ridge on the phone.
