This question may take some thought for some and maybe no thought for others. You may not have any thought on it. I know me I will think of one person then later on think of another. If you could choose anyone in the world, whom would you want as an aquaintence? a close friend? Summer

Vincent Price (took me NO seconds to think about this.) I could listen to this man talk for hours. I understand he was a gourmet cook. I will watch ANY movie he was in. (it's too bad he's deceased...I always wanted to meet him)

| I would have loved to meet him once. To have him as a close close personal friend would have been great. I think he was terrible misunderstood! |

There are a lot but I think Jimmy Carter would be pretty high on my list. That is of people still living. Dead people opens up to broad a range. Dorothy |

I had always wanted to meet & get to know Katherine Hepburn. She was a woman of class, integrity, seemed sheer guts for her time. I would have loved to have known her. But if you wanted someone that is alive, I think I'd like to spend time with Dr. Laura Schlessinger, some just know her as Dr. Laura on the radio. I find her interesting to say the least, thought provoking, strong minded, and view oriented.

This is a hard one because my sisters are my best friends ( at least some of them). If I were to pick a famous person I guess it would have to be Oprah. She seems so down to earth even though she is one of the wealthiest people around. She seems to have true compassion for people (unless she is just putting on a good act for the cameras but I don't think she is). Barb

Well, that would be Dr Who! (are we allowed fictional characters?) We could travel to anywhaere, anywhen and see the famous persons of history..... OK, seriously, I think I would like to be able to get together and have coffee and a chat with a few of the ladies on this site - friends made across the globe but unlikely to ever meet in person. Susie, Libby, Mary, Joanne....would be cool. love and kisses, Jan

So many people to choose from. I could be here all day naming people. Mozart for one, I LOVE his music and I would have loved to know him. Sean Connery, he is my adopted grandpa, he doesn't know it, but he is. Heath Ledger, do I really need to explain this one? The Rock, again, no explanation needed. I could keep going but I think I won't. Then this post would be very LONG. Of course I also wouldn't mind meeting some of the people I have talked to online. Charity |

I agree with Jan (Magot).. Just think what a time we would have, all sitting around talking... Think how great to really see your friends face to face.. Because we are all friends here, even if we have never been face to face..

I know this is not what you are looking for but I would have loved to have known my mother when she was young and in her prime. By the time I was a glint in Dad's eye, they were both over 40.

I remember watching the first "Muppets" on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was a kid. I watched every episode of the Muppet show and got my kids hooked on Sesame Street, The Story Teller and Dark Crystal. That man had such an imagination, I would have loved to sit and talk with him about where all those creatures came from. I cried when I heard he'd passed away. There is a Muppet Christmas special with Jim Henson at the end of it (Fossie's mom's house) that still makes me tear up.

I didn't figure that was what they were looking for either, but like you would love to really have known my mother. She was only 24 when she died, I was so young. And she was such a wonderful seamstress! LauraM

Hard one again, but have thought about it before. I have thought for a number of years I would like to have Peter Jennings for a friend also Joanne Woodward and Paul Neuman. My best friend in high school, whom I have lost contact with, reminded me a lot of Sophia Loren (and reminded a lot others as well) and I think Sophia would be a good woman friend. I would like to have been friends with Canadian author Carole Shields. I would like to have been an acquainted with Carl Rogers. Also Jimmy Carter and Paul MCartney. I can think of some famous people who are interesting in a characture way, but I think that they are probably overly confident and self centered in person. As a nurse, I would like to have been aquainted with some of the early North American nursing leaders - what femenists they must have been! I love people watching and often see someone that I think - 'I'd like to know that person'. And it always surprises me as I can't put a finger on why!!
