re: Forget Depp/Heard, who are some truly nice/normal/cool celebrities?

It was Joan Rivers and she stopped in to get something to eat. It was just kind of odd seeing here there. We walked up and said hello and she was just an incredibly nice lady, very personable

I met Joan Rivers back in the late 80's when she was performing at a hotel where I worked in the engineering department. We got a call that there were electrical problems in her dressing room. I wasn't looking forward to dealing with her based on the obnoxious person she came across on TV but she was absolutely as nice as could be. Gave me an autographed photo, a bottle of wine and a tip for addressing the problem. Met a few other celebrities there I couldn't say as much about. Buddy Hackett and Sammy Davis Jr. were assholes. Al Leiter lived down the street from me. He was an a-hole too.
