I found this in Sunday's paper. (January 23, 2005)

Headline: Niles has a following (of 1 at least)

If you saw a Hollywood celebrity you considered a hottie at your local pharmacy, what would you do? Now, unfortunately, I know what I would do.

In the dental/baby/first aid aisle in a Michigan Avenue drugstore, I recently spotted a familiar face: David Hyde Pierce, who played Niles in TV's 'Frasier' and who I knew was in town doing 'Monty Python's Spamalot.' Or at least I thought it was he. Given that I stopped watching the show after Pierce's character finally connected with his true love, thus spoiling my fantasy, I couldn't just leave it at that.

I sidled my way from the mouthwashes down past the floss, feigning interest in various toothpastes while trying to steal a closer peek. When I found myself moving into hemorrhoid creams and adult diapers, I had to retreat. He vanished, but I couldn't stop now.

I finally found him again in the dietary supplements, so I closely studied the women's calcium chews for several minutes, then decided to just work my way to the cashier before he had me arrested.

I managed to check out just ahead of him, which allowed me to stop and slowly, alluringly put on my gloves as he made his purchase. He said a word to the cashier, and finallyI was sure.

But go up and speak to him? What, and make a fool of myself? --- Nancy Watkins

I agree. After the show yes, in the pharmacy, no way! It's weird enough that I think I know which store she's talking about and that I've shopped there myself. :o

Some people have all the luck. Yesh! I know that I'd say "hello" - when would I ever be given that chance again? ;D

Isn't it weird how it works when we see a celeb in a store or on the street?
I have been working as a dresser in Holland for almost 25 years now. I have been working for and with the most famous
actors and entertainers. I remember I had a gig dressing a famous group from Canada. I had never even heard of them
but a friend said "OH MY, I have been a fan since they started. Can I meet them?" Every night when I came out of the
stagedoor I could have sold their dirty towels for lots of money, and I just thought "Hm, I have to wash them when I come home
because they need them again tomorrow"
I have had offers to dress Barry Manilow (to busy) and Charles Aznavour (sorry, I have the flu) when they came to Holland
and I was all relaxed about that. Just another job.
I have been on tour through Germany and Austria with a famous dutch illusionist, but when he asked me to go shopping with him I told him "No way, you go with someone else, I want a quite day without your fans all around"
But if I would run into David Hyde Pierce or Tim Curry ................................................
Believe me, I would go blank! And for what???????

I have given up dressing and I am designing costumes now. Just the other week a famous dutch musicalactor came
to my house for a costume fit. My friends went crazy when they heard that. You had x in your house?
And let me tell you....these people are wearing underwear and even have to go to the bathroom
once in a while. Think about that the next time you meet DHP, I'm sure I finally wil!!!!!
