Poll Question: How many famous people have you spotted out shopping whilst on each holiday in Florida. We have only managed Ian Wright, I guess most people have seen him whilst over there but how many, who were they and where did you see them? | | Francine | Edited by - Fran19 on 31 Mar 2005 06:04:15 |

| Not shopping BUT......
We saw David Hassehoff when he was in Knight Rider (yes I was much younger then!) and me and my brother were big fans. He signed our autograph book and said that Devon (the older character) was in too but we did not see him. (very dishy then too!)
And last visit we were in the Dollar parking Lot picking up our car when my husband was trying to get the hang of an automatic car and sitting on the "wrong" side when he jerked the car forward. He nearly hit a woman who turned out to Kevin Keegan's wife! Luckily they both saw the funny side!  |

| We saw Richard Harris & Shirley McLaine shopping in the "Galleria" in Fort Lauderdale in the late 90's.
We got both their autographs, i was quite suprised when he signed Richard Harris, because i thought this Irish film star i had been talking to in foot locker was Peter O'toole.
Its a good job i didn't say "Peter can i have your autograph", don't think he would have appreciated that | Neil & Kay |

| We had a 'famous' American celebrity stay in our villa last summer but we had never heard of him. His name was Sinbad. His wife left a lovely note for us. Our management group were falling over themselves to deal with him but his name meant nothing to us. I expect we see lots of 'famous ' people around in the parks. They just aren't famous to Brits. We consider the casts of our well know soaps as famous but they aren't Stateside. I have never, knowingly, seen anyone famous in the parks or shopping. | Angela http://www.orlandovillas.com/florida-vacation-rental-2066.aspx

I see Ian Wright several times most weeks as his son started at my sons school last September - not very keen on him but he drives a lovely Bentley | Caroline & Dave http://www.orlandovillas.com/florida-vacation-rental-236.aspx
