Nice Celebrities vs. Mean, Evil ones

Over the years I've had the chance to encounter several celebrities...some nice, some...not so nice. I've decided to list them here for you, so you'll know who you're dealing with should you run into them somewhere.

1. Kathleen Turner- I thought from her reputation that she'd be difficult, but she was very, very nice...offering to pose for photos and sign autographs for a rather large group of people. She even patted my hand and told me I was "Sweet."

2. Mary Lou Retton- America's Gymnastic Sweetheart was, well... gymnasty towards her fans on the day we met her. My Son, Dustin wanted her autograph and she all but refused to even talk to him, and instead sent an autograph out with one of her reps to hand to him. What a total snob!

3. Buck O'Neil- Legendary Negro League's Baseball Player- Absolutely, without a doubt, the nicest celebrity that I've ever met. At 94 years of age, he still takes the time to sign autographs, shake hands, pat kids on the head and take the time to chat with fans. A total class act all the way!

4. Zack Greinke-show-off-upstart Kansas City Royals Pitcher...won't sign autographs, won't say "Hi" and won't even wave to fans... total head case, avoid at all costs!

5. Mike Sweeney-Kansas City Royals- Super nice guy, kinda hyper. Will bend over backwards to sign autographs, even if his arm is turning purple because he got hit by a 94 mph pitch an hour prior to signing. A great guy and wonderful example for kids.

6. Jeremy Affeldt- Former KC pitcher, now with the Rockies- Will sign anything, anytime, anywhere. Always was the first of the Royals players to greet fans and sign autographs. Won't leave until the last fan has gone away happy.

7. Kent McCord and Martin Milner- "Adam 12" TV stars. I was young when I got to meet these guys. They weren't overly talkative, but did meet and greet fans and sign autographs.

8. George Brett-Hall of Fame Royals star- Nice guy overall, but is usually too busy and ambushed by fans to sign autographs. Too bad...

9. Bradd Pitt- Kind of odd, seemed nervous...wasn't very famous at the time... I didn't even ask for an autograph.

10. Amy Grant-Christian Songstress- Sweet, friendly and very nice. Posed for photos, signed autographs and talked to us one-on-one about life, music and what we were "up to..." Super nice lady.
