NFRC: OMG, I almost inadvertantly kicked an Oscar-winning actress out of our new store! I wouldn't

be caught dead dropping names, but our new shop-in-progress is near Paramount studios, and we've seen a few familiar faces, but today we were unloading rolls of fabric from my Toyota into our half-renovated establishment and a couple of ladies walked by. I didn't hear them ask Jacques if they could come in for a peak, nor him saying yes, so I was annoyed when they were in my way. I snorted, "Ladies, we're not really open yet!" and then the shorter of the two took off her sunglasses and said in a familiar voice, "I have a chair I want to cover in Provence fabric." If I were James Caan I would have covered my shins and ran, but I'm not, so I just blathered on about our fabulous upholsterer. I must have turned redder than the freshly applied terra cotta floor stain! I handed her an invitation to our opening and stopped short of begging her to bring along the cast of "Six Feet Under."

Like I said, I wouldn't be caught dead dropping names.

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

 
Oh please, stop Joe. Now that's worse than Not namedropping. It's

got to be either Frances Conroy, Rachel Griffins, Lauren Ambrose, or Patricia Clarkson (love her). She's the only one I can imagine got as Oscar.

 
what clofthwld said! Outmittem Meinhair odor Sie WILLEN mit tausand Smoochen bedeckt verdan.

AND I MEAN Gwen Verdan.

ain't that right, clofthwld sweetie?

 
I know!! I know!!

All the clues are in the post! James Caan and shins.... Hobbling, anyone??? anyone??

Did you ask her if she would like some green tomatoes to fry?

Maybe she will bring along Stephen King with her next time....

 
She only had a small part on "Six Feet Under," but she directed quite a few episodes.

If any of the actresses you mentioned walked in I'd have a heart attack and die happy. My favorite show ever.

(Rachel Griffin and Patricia Clarkson have been nominated for Oscars, I think.)

 
ok. i'm in a poopy modd cuz i STill don't know about whom we speak...

if you want me i'll be in the back yard eating a vaseline and gristle sandwich.

 
LOL, I didn't mean to create such a titanic mystery. Just making fun of my own

star-strucked-ness. I intend to become very blase about celebrities, but in the meantime,

WOOOO HOOOO, Rick, ***** ***** was in my store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Think of the hotel in "Psycho.")

 
Rick, just do what I did and google the following...

"james caan" "six feet under" "fried green tomatoes"

Copy and paste the above in the google search and it will pop right up.

 
oh yeah! cool-o! peachy keen.

she played norman's sister who hid in the undercroft of the hotel and sharpened knives,
