I show my respect and admiration or people by ignoring them entirely.
I have worked with unknown actors who I thought were shit hot and was too shy to say anything. Even though most actors I know (not famous ones) love it when people come up to them.
Is there anything interesting to do with famous people other than fuck them? Honestly.
I really hope so, because growing up in DC meant meeting both Marion Barry and Dan Quayle, and NO.

before
I visited 10 Downing St.
Ah, well. What's done is done.
I don't meet famous people, so it hasn't been an issue.
I'm much more likely to meet a famous scientist, but since I've been surrounded by them my whole life, there is no whelmedness. To be perfectly honest, the only meeting of famous in the pop culture sense was when one actor's kid started bopping me in the knees and sharing his grapes. And of course, having to slam on the brakes to keep from hitting John Waters (he was walking against the light!) But that would have been a different kind of meeting.
Let us never speak of it again.

Sounds like a good question for a study. "Excuse me, Mr. Idol, but there's a study to see if there's anything more interesting to do with you than fuck you. Could you spare a couple of hours?"
although if plotzing is a likelihood, I'm have to avoid them entirely (cf Eric Idle).
When I ran into him in the hotel we were staying in (on the same floor!), I had to seriously work at containing myself for an entire elevator ride. I was about to bounce off the walls and chatter like an iditot. I did manage to squeek out, "Good evening."

Not in the 80s, surely.....
I was at a party with Peter Reigert once and all I could think the whole time I was chatting about the food was "Dude, you were in
Animal House
and
Crossing Delancey
and
Local Hero!
Three of my favorite movies ever!"
But I was sure I would come off like Chris Farley on SNL if I opened that door, so I stuck to discussing the lamb.
