My first thought was: Sean Connery! Yeah!
.. then I remembered I would most likely pass out before I could ask him anything at all! I mean, lets face it.. if he smiled at me.. you'd have to peel me off of the floor ! If I heard his voice pass out!
Nope.. I couldn't ask him the time of day! heh.
Then I grinned and thought: Harrison Ford! Woof!
... then the smile left my face.. nope, that would be no different from Sean Connery (probably worse!)! *sigh*
Ok, so now I wondered who do I want to ask a question to?
The answer is: that I would have questions for any celebrity !
I've been lucky and met many and gotten to talk to many and ask many questions.. however, there was one that I didn't get to meet but I did write to him and asked my question.
The actor is Red Skelton.
When I wrote to him I told him of a dream I had about meeting him, and in this dream I went up to him and asked him, "since you have made me laugh and made me feel happy for many years, I wondered: What makes Red Skelton happy?"
I received a signed photo and the letter below as a response from Red Skelton.
Maybe Sheri's question could become a new book.. Questions You Always Wanted to Ask A Celebrity... I bet there would be some really off beat and funny questions asked!
How about you? Who and What would you ask that certain celebrity???

Wow...that is about the nicest question I can imagine asking...and what a very sweet letter in return!
And I think you're right...that would make for one interesting book.
What a WONDEFUL letter, Pat....It is so nice to know he took the time and effort to write you.....It says a lot about him, doesn't it?
Like you, therte are many things I might ask certain people, if I had the chance...But off hand, I cannot think of any one! (lol)
Wow, you take a really simple contest question and manage to produce this fantastic post! What a great entry to the contest.
And, it does say alot about the actor...
Amanda
Debi: I think you could learn a lot about the celebrities by their responses to good questions and silly ones.
Naomi: well I'm sure you ask people like Betty: how are you today? lol.. people forget celebs are people too!
hello Amanda: thanks for coming by. Well it is true i'd probably pass out if I met Connery or Ford so I remembered this letter from long ago.. the contest was a good outlet for it !
What a cool letter! It's always nice to see people who still take the time to sit down and write a truly personal letter. That's certainly one for the books!
hey Chris: I told of it before.. back in my archives lol.. but this was a perfect time to bring it out again..
I know I wouldn't be able to ask a celebrity anything because they always reduce me to a quivering wreck. I did think the letter you got from Red Skelton was absolutely charming though.
I start a free week tomorrow so planning to get AIM.
Cath: most of them, I have no trouble talking to ..but Connery and Ford would surely send me passing out to the floor! The first time I ever saw Deforest in person I couldn't look at him! My heart pounded so loud i expected him to jump up and start doing an indian dance! But once I embarassed myself by doing the impersonation, I got a lot better lol.. I saw my "calling" to make him and Carolyn laugh! But for the most part I just try to act the way I think they'd want me to.. respectful. (at least until I have actually met them.. then.. all bets are off!)
What timing. I just had a dream TODAY that I flew to Paris with Doris Day and James Garner. We had a blast !
It was one of the best dreams I have ever had. So, I guess my question would be to Doris Day.
"Doris, what is your favorite movie of all time?"
(Being a movie critic, OF COURSE I
would be dying to know the answer to this one) !
Daniel: lol.. well, it would be hard tho think that some reporter somewhere didn't ask her that! But I don't know i'd want to research every interview !
I just knew he was a sweet man.
I loved his show.
Your letter to Red brought tears to my eyes, because it was so honest and touching. Then I read his response, and remembered how funny he really was. You're a class act, Pat, and I am still in awe that you met Deforest Kelley! I can't do this meme, because I get all shaky and cold just being near hockey players, never mind movie stars!
Love the letters!
I'd like to ask Walt Disney for a list of movies he would have liked the studio to have made. They seem to be running out of ideas and I wish there was still a Wonderful World of Color/Disneyland show on TV. The crud they have on the Disney Channel makes it not even worth watching anymore. When I was a kid they had Vault Disney really late at night, now you'd be lucky to see even a good cartoon :(
