CELEBRITY TRIVIA
MEG RYAN
THE ULTIMATE DREAM GIRL
Men want to marry her.
Women want to be her friend.
That pretty much sums it up for
Meg Ryan
without a doubt the most adorable
and adored actress in America.
A CASE FOR PREGNANCY
I enjoyed being pregnant.
There is something about it
that is very relaxing and fun.
Watching all the changes
come over you
is a joyous experience.
Jodie Foster 1998
MISTRESS OF THE GAME
Regarded as the most
technically adept actress
of her generation
the Yale Drama School-trained expert
plumbs emotional depths
that most actresses only skim.
Meryl Streep at 49,
remains very much
at the top of her game.
DIZZY BUT DYNAMIC
Goldie Hawn
one of the most appealing actresses
the supposedly dizzy blonde,
is also considered one of
the savviest businesswomen.
She had her own
production company for 14 years.
Last year at 53,
following her smash hit
The First Wives� Club,
she made her very first
directing effort
on the cable TV movie,
Hope.
AMERICAN MAJESTY
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis,
American royalty, 1929-1994,
set the style for women
throughout the world.
Since the time she was named
Debutante Of The Year in 1947
Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis
has lived life a sovereign
in the public eye.
Despite being one of
the most famous women on earth
she remained somehow elusive,
a silent enigma targeted by tragedy.
In 1961,
when John Fitzgerald Kennedy
became president,
the soft-spoken 31st First Lady
enthralled the entire nation
with her elegance, beauty and style.
Publicly Jackie
and the dashing young president
were the dream couple.
That dream ended 35 years ago
on November 22, 1962
in Dallas, Texas.
Her death in 1994
became a public occasion,
a chance for her adoring public
to revisit
the familiar imagery of her life.
An estate auction
brought unprecedented prices
for items of little monetary value.
It was as if her admirers
could finally get closer
to the exceptional woman.
BREEZY RIDER
When I met my husband
back in 1985,
he had a beautiful
Harley Davidson motorcycle.
We were riding it
down Hollywood Boulevard
and everybody was staring at us.
I remember thinking,
"I must look brilliant
on this glorious bike!"
Then I looked down at my T-shirt,
one of those little cropped numbers
and I realized it was blowing up
and I wasn�t wearing a bra!
I had been flashing the whole world!
Lesley Anne Down
CLASS ACT
I was at an awards banquet in 1993.
I went up to receive my award
from Discover Stars On Ice,
a crystal vase on a wooden platform.
As I took it from the presenter,
the vase fell to the floor
and smashed into a million pieces.
Just try to give
an acceptance speech
after that!
Luckily, the emcee
came to my rescue and said,
"Don�t worry, we actually
keep the real one backstage!"
Kristi Yamaguchi
THE WRITING ON THE WALL
I had received raves
and a Tony Award
for my role in
The House Of Blue Leaves.
One night after the show,
I was waiting for friends
at a restaurant on Broadway.
I saw that people
were staring and pointing at me.
Flattered, I kept striking
dramatic poses for my fans.
After some time, I noticed
a blackboard with specials listed
on the wall right behind me.
I had been upstaged by a menu!
Swoozie Kurtz
SLIP SLIDING AWAY
A contestant had just solved
the bonus round and won a car,
and I was walking over
to congratulate him.
All of a sudden
I missed the bottom step
of the Wheel Of Fortune puzzle board,
and anyone who was watching
saw me disappear.
I immediately jumped up,
brushed myself off and headed over
to shake his hand.
When I reached him,
he asked on national television,
"Did you have a nice trip?"
I was mortified!
Vanna White
HIGH ANXIETY
When I was just starting out,
my folks used to travel
with me on tour.
My Mom was petrified of flying,
so she went to the doctor
and he prescribed pills
to help calm her.
She took one before
getting on a plane
and another when
we were in the air.
By the time we landed,
She rolled right out
It was like a scene
BarBara Mandrell
I was doing summer stock
One of the actors
I was in a tutu,
I laughed so hard
It was visible from the light booth,
Goldie Hawn
she was very relaxed.
she was sitting on the conveyer belt!
in front of the customs officer.
straight out of
I Love Lucy!
THE TOUGH GET
(CAUGHT) GOING
in Springfield, Massachusetts,
performing in the chorus of
Kiss Me Kate.
was playing a strong man.
but at the last minute
the strong man
couldn�t find his loincloth,
so he showed up
in a girl�s leotard.
I peed right down my legs!
so you know
everyone had to be going
"God, what�s happening to that girl?"
