I would spend the day with Clint Eastwood and Merrill Streep watching small parts of their best films having them comment along the way.

I spent a day with Steven Segal when he visited Hurlburt Field back in the 90s. We gave him a nice little ride in a helicopter gunship even though he couldn't fit into a flight suit...he is a little chubby. He threw up during the flight. He is slightly weird.

Back to your question. After thinking about it, the best I could come up with is Jim Carey..just for the yuks, and Michelle Rodriguez (http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/28200000/-Machete-Production-Photos-michelle-rodriguez-28206907-643-888.jpg)..err....'cause I like large caliber guns?

Joan Crawford. I'd like to hear her version of the movie Mommy Dearest.

Really would rather not because the Hollywood myth is bigger than the person and I might end up very disappointed especially since so many are ego-driven.
Beside wich I have never much been enamored with celebrity

Kate Hepburn. Robert Mitchum could be interesting.

Contemporary would have to be Whoopee Goldberg. Can't think of a male actor I particularly want to meet.

I've had the good fortune to meet both Clint Eastwood and Robin Williams. Clint I actually talked to for a short while. Very nice man but on the shy side. Extremely intelligent. Ego was almost normal. Robin I only talked to for seconds at a time. I'm a huge comedy club fan and would frequently see him outside waiting for his set. He really did talk a mile a minute, especially on Coke. Another genuinely nice guy, at least back then.

Not sure if I would want to spent a whole day with any actor/actress after living with a woman who had grown up with a theater actress as a mother. I also have friends/neighbors/acquaintances who have Broadway and/or movie connections. They can be a little demanding with respect to attention getting. Like playing catch with various fruits and vegetables while grocery shopping. This was a common habit of my old girlfriend's parents. Not a family tradition I wanted to get involved with while getting out of the Minneapolis winters and trying to grocery shop.

I e-mailed a lot of actors/actresses in my 224 613 Project. That's the one to force a dialog about practical materials for survivors/victims of crimes between librarians and victim/witness providers. I had started working on this in January of 1991 after figuring out that my days at the University of Minnesota Law Library were very numbered because of internal politics. I had been introduced as the WESTLAW cataloger at the American Association of Law Libraries convention in Reno, Nevada in the Summer of 1989. This also brought back in a very heavy rush my experiences with the 2-24-1976 murder investigation and aftermath of Michelle Mitchell. She had been the daughter of my then Earl Wooster High School teacher Mrs. Barbara Mitchell. The case is re-open as of December 2014.

Anyway, I suppose I would like to meet some of the various actors/actresses I had sent so many e-mails to as well as George Clooney who one of my correspondents had claimed she was dating. She was a Dallas actress who just might have been on a fantasy trip in her head. I did get an e-mail from someone claiming to be George Clooney. I would like to find out if Vanessa D. was pulling my leg or she really had some dates with George Clooney @ 2003.

Also I would like to meet some of the actors/actresses work which I really admire. First among them would be Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey. No, I did not e-mail these two at all in my 224 613 Project. Not sure though given my experiences with my ex-girlfriend in Minnesota and the uncaught vegetables and stuff on the grocery aisle floor, I would want to spent the whole day with them as long as I did not have to catch any tomatoes, cucumbers, heads of lettuce, etc.

If you see me coming into a Villages' Publix with someone who looks vaguely familiar, TAKE COVER!

I'm afraid it would be a big let-down. Just because we like an actor on the big screen it doesn't mean we will enjoy spending the day with them.

Fear not, we're just having fun with the topic. :pepper2:
You wouldn't have to worry about a big let down, because you're not actually going to get to spend the day with them.

Michael Caine and I can't really think of any current actresses that I find interesting. If it's from "all time" perhaps Claudette Colbert. She always seemed kind of nice.

I saw a number of interviews with Merlyl and a number of interviews with other actors talking about Meryl. Some say she is from another planet. They don't know how she transforms herself into someone else including accents. One said that she could be crying in anguish in a broken polish accent and when they director yells cut, asked her co-star in her regular laughing voice where they were going for drinks after work. She also has 4 children spread over many years. She is a genuinely sweet, normal person from NJ.

If she comes over to my house, I'll give you a shout out. :)

My mother used to know a neighbor or some such of Meryl Streep. She said that she is very down-to-earth and kind-hearted.
