JustKaren I'm guessing Ben Stiller who is the son of Anne Meara. mszue Justin Trudeau You are good at this Happy! I met Ben's family (mother Ann, father Jerry, sister Amy, and grandfather) several times when they stayed at a hotel where I was working in San Francisco, but Ben wasn't born until 2 or 3 years after the last time I saw the family. As to the others, I have a picture of me with Diana Gabaldon while she was signing my advance copy of "In My Own Heart's Blood," the 8th book in the Outlander series ... we were at a special event in Seattle 2 days before the book was released. And Barbra Streisand I met several times when she stayed at that same hotel where I met Ben's family, (we had an arrangement with The Hungry I where their entertainers got special rates). I was at the front desk when the box of her first album (The Barbra Streisand Album) arrived for her ... when she picked it up she opened it there, took out the first one, and autographed it for me ... "To Karen, thank you for making my stay in San Francisco so pleasant, Barbra Streisand." Now that is so cool, justkaren, and to make you feel so special...to gift you this....that is a true keepsake. I am thrilled to have met you and the others who collected in Suz Room after the show as she loaded her video. And to connect again in London...with some of you, sharing in a meal at McDonald's of all places after the Hammersmith shows. Those are real treasures for me. It makes me feel more a part of the Atoper experience! Happy is leaning in for the champ of this series!! Go girl! 👍 It truly is amazing all the people that cross paths with each other, whether brief encounters, small or large events, next door neighbours. I have not met Adam, but stood at the stage in Boise GNT, I could have touched his pant legs, but he at least looked into my eyes/smiled many times...think he was staring at my necklace!!...but not the same as a personal connection. His hand blew over mine in Edmonton when I stood against the rail as he ran around the stage (Radio Gaga). Oh well! As an aside--What I did notice was how caked and cracked his make up was up close. I was at the side of the thrust and was able to stand at the rail/ slightly behind another gal, depending on where they moved on the stage. Not that I wanted this to always be my memory, but the red hair, and makeup, always brings to mind the words of TSMGO, " my make-up maybe flaking, but my smile still stays on". Whereas Roger and Brian seemed to have very soft smooth skin.

I suppose everyone has moved on, but I like closure so here is my reveal. The lie is Alice Munro. She did live here for a number of years and was married to Jim Munro who owned a well-known bookshop. Through my job, I was able to attend a walkabout by Princess Diana and Charles in 1986. She came very close! I was a guest at an Order of Canada ceremony and dinner where Paul Gross became an Officer. He stood out in the crowd as movie star handsome! Just like Adam! In 1977 I was a guest at a masterclass and a drinks party with Sir Peter Pears. Though retired, his voice was still wonderful. I remember him demonstrating "imposto" -- I had never heard the term before. I wonder what he would have thought of Adam?? www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0892199720301272www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0RRuXEnETc

Wow happy, you’re psychic! Correct again. LOL I've actually put bit of research, a bit of thought, and bit of guessing into my answers. Maybe this is a game I'm actually good at or maybe it is all luck! I'd be interested in your reveal if you care to share.

Maybe this is a game I'm actually good at or maybe it is all luck! I'd be interested in your reveal if you care to share. Love to. My first job in theater was working on The Pirates of Penzance with Linda and Kevin. I got to know Kevin pretty well and have worked with him a few times. I would be in awe watching him rehearse. In case you don’t know he is a remarkable song and dance guy. It was Linda’s first theater production and she was very skittish and wary about her debut but her singing was incredible. What was so sad was that during the middle of the production John Lennon was murdered. After that there were security people everywhere including on the sides of the stage. I was a stage manager on a play where Alec was the lead. He was as outspoken then as he is now. Complete pro though. My husband who is an actor worked with Sally for a year on Broadway. She is an absolute pro and angel. I can’t say enough good things about her. And she’s a damn good actress.

Congresswoman Jackie Spier Martin Luther King Junior Peter Garrett (lead singer of band Midnight Oil) Leonard Cohen Poet David Whyte My husband would have a cooler list - after running big event security for 10 years there aren't many major artists he hasn't met! MLK? Correct answer is Leonard Cohen Never met him although my husband did. I met MLK Junior when we was a guest speaker at a conference I attended back in 2001 and a group of us called the "extreme team" were invited to have lunch with him. Inspiring and all the stuff you'd expect. Memory I will always carry around for sure. I did some work with Congresswoman Spier back when she was running for office in California. Enjoyed a glass of wine and strange chat with Peter Garrett at a mutual friend's party. And I've met David Whyte a few times when he's been out to Oz to speak...
