I'm doing a summer class at the Academy of Art University and she visited my class. She really seemed to like me and she told me I was a good actress. I nearly fainted. I blew it, though, as she was leaving: "ohmygod, IloveyousomuchandIthinkyou'rereallygreatandIsawyouonTVandIreallywantedtomeetyouandwhenIheardtheyhadasummercourseforhighschoolstudentsI" "just promise you'll come back, okay?" she cut me off quietly. And when I found out she had been on my favorite show (House), playing the mother of my favorite character (Gregory House), I flipped. "I hugged her!!" I squealed to my mom, "And she's met Hugh Laurie!!" She's so nice and funnyand I know that's horrible to say, that's what you say for everyonebut she participated in our class. She had fun WITH us, not just watching us. One group included her in their scene. There was a photographer and he was taking pics of a model. Then suddenly he seesDIANE BAKER!! Oh, and he needs to get a pic of her, too. He takes one, then thinks to himself, hey, I could make something bad out of this. Diane Baker's breakup withand at this point the real Diane interrupts with, "George Clooney!". Everyone erupts with laughter. I told her she should've said Johnny Depp. He beats George any day.
I hope I see her at the showing of our work Saturday. -

OMG you met her! That's soooo cool! I'm so glad she was nice, she seems really lovely

Don't worry I would have done EXACTLY what you did and then I would have been like "OMG I loved loved LOVED you in Silence Of The Lambs, what was Anthony Hopkins like?" AHHHHH!
Don't agree with you on the George vs. Johnny thing though ;OP
Did she end up coming to see your work on Saturday?
hope so
