Celebrity sightings?

Flying as a non-rev, I've been fortunate enough to sit next to John Leguizamo and just last week, Anthony Edwards. John was just kicking back with a drink, having a good time, and Anthony just ate and slept. Both were on AA Transcons from JFK-LAX.

I have had a few - President Ford, Betty Ford [Ugggh], Kirk Cameron, Dudley Moore, Dianne Carrol, Vic Damon, Jackie Neiman - breast feeding yet, Alice Cooper [very nice]the married couple from LA LAW [can't remember the names].

Fly them much of the time, to all parts of the Globe.
As you might expect, some are more interesting than others. Due to "Confidentiality Clauses" imposed on Companies in the Bizjet world, including crews, my lips are sealed(for now!). [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

We usually always get them between LAX-JFK:

Betty White ("Rose" on The Golden Girls)...The NICEST passenger EVER! Pure sweetheart.

Regis Philbin (Pre-"Who Wants to be a Millionaire)...Arrogant fellow.

Gary Coleman...Annoyingly talkative. Almost reminds you of an inquisitive 13 yr. old (and not because of his small size either). But ok acting otherwise.

Bobby Bonilla (MLB Baseball Player)...Nice, easy-going guy.

Charlize Theron...Neutral chick. Okay, I guess. (I didn't work First class that flight).

Glen Close...Stuck up, ugly woman. Acted as if we were about to beg and plead for her tired autograph.

Rob Reiner (with kids, wife and maid) ...They took up the entire First Class on that 767. ok attitude, but VERY messy. Left trash everywhere on that flight.

Calista Flockhart...Sweetheart. Absolutely polite & easy-going.

Barbara Walters...Very snobby chick. Would cut her eyes at ya if you even looked her way. Very snobby-acting woman.

Robin Givens...A little tipsy and silly.

Jean Claude Van Damm...Quiet, little guy.

Others include: "Greg Brady" (can't recall his real name), Ralph Fiennes; Rapper, Tone Loc; Judge Judy; Anne Marie Horsley; Carlos Santana; Louis Farrakhan; Kevin Eubanks, Jesse L. Martin (Law & Order); Soupy Sales; Elijah Wood; Nicole Kidman (without husband); Donna Karan; Jean Claude Van Damme; and a ton of soap opera stars that I wouldn't know.

Jennifer Lopez from LAX-MIA. Boy is her A$$ big, but not as big as her head. She scolded me when I refused to leave the aircraft and purchase some magazines for her. Guess shes to frugal to have an assistant travel with her.

[img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Ooh! Right in the old nalgas, J. Lo!

**flydCoop** · June 7, 2001, 04:47 AM

In J. Lo's defense, one of my co-workers has had her twice, his roommate, once. They declared her delightful and down-to-earth. Maybe she has bad days just like we do!

I hear Dolly Parton is the best! Her niece is a F/A for AA. Dolly apparently wanted to be a F/A (so did Grace Jones!!!) They hang out in the galley with the F/As. Dolly served the cookies on a friend of mine's flight and they sang songs from "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" in the galley! I would have paid money to work that flight!

I was lucky enought to have the Dalai-Lama
on board. He was very humble (sat in business, not first) and charming. He wrote messages of good will for all of us.

All the other celebs I have had have been better known if France than anywhere else, but generally I find them to be discreet and well friendly.
