It is kind of a funny story that happened prior to two weeks, but I did speak to a former 80s hearthrob on the phone and it was Scott Baio. It's kind of an uninteresting, but here goes:
While browsing the site of the Bailey Baio Foundation, I decided to call the number. Upon hearing the phone answered with a Brooklynese tone: "Hello? Hello?", I went to my usual introduction and stated how I think that his support for newborn screening was a great thing to do. I then began to list his movies, almost blurting like a fan, so I felt kind of silly. I then said to him that what he and his wife was doing for the foundation was a really good cause and for most infants with these metabolic disorders to get newborn testing, even when most states don't have it at all.
After saying this, he took a moment and said politely, "That's very nice of you to say this." And he changed his tone. "Listen, I believe you were the nicest person I spoke today and I hope to hear you again soon. Thank you for your support and your honesty. Goodbye and I hope to hear you again soon." And that was it.
Not exactly meeting him, but more like speaking to him on the phone.
