Nope. They just bussed us to Sony studios and we sat in the very uncomfortable bleachers for 12 hours. They fed us lunch and that was it. It was a cool experience though. And with a DVD player with pause and zoom I can actually find myself and 2 of the three friends that went with me. {thumb2}

did you get paid for the spiderman thing?

My Grandmother was a cousin of Tex Ritter who is John Ritter's father. Which made me like a 2nd cousin once removed or third cousin or something like that. And I was an extra in the 1st Spiderman movie. Among a few hundred others in the wrestling scene. Anyone want my autograph? *L*

Apparently, im a distant relative of Iggy Pop.. :roll: One of our cousins is a genealogist! {up}

My cousin played professional football in the Scottish premier league! Got to mingle with the footballers when I was 14/15! Funnily enough I kinda liked it. ;-)

erm...nope but my friend is a [u]reallll[/u] distant reletive of Abe Lincoln. Sweeeeeet!

My aunt is real good friends with Cindy Cash (aka Johnny Cash's daughter) If you call that relation. Im not sure if there is anyone in my family that is famous.

[quote="margotchanning"][b][color=#BF4080]I am related to Allan Browning & Pat Phoenix (Allan Howard & Elsie Tanner in Coronation Street) Allan was my Grandma's cousin & Pat was his wife. I met her a few times when I was a baby but she died when I was nearly two years old so I don't remember her that well. Allan died before I was born so I didn't meet him at all. :) [/color][/b][/quote]

Hi margotchaning {up}

Pat Phoenix also married Anthony (Tony) Booth after your Nan's cousin, Allan Browning.

Tony Booth is the father of Cherie Booth (now Blair), the wife of British ex-Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Therefore Pat Phoenix was Tony Blair's mother-in-law! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Phoenix and he attended her Manchester funeral 11-years before he became PM.

Small world :D

This is not mine, But two of my friends, Had Celeb Relatives.

One of them, was 1st cousin of actor Lewis Collins, a big celeb on the UK TV screens from the mid 70's-mid 80's. And one of the stars of the Professionals TV series. Sadly, hardly anything in the last 15 years.

She was also, related to Jessie Matthews, a singer/Actress/Dancer. Who made a number of UK films in the 1930's-late 1950's.

My other friend, was related to Basil Brush's Human friend, who was on the TV show in the early 1950's

Oh, I know it's a bit off the point, but my best friend, has been doing a lot of work for some celebs who live in London. And has become quite close to them {thumb2} {thumb2}

Well I don't know if this counts, as I am not related by blood and he is not a HUGE celeb. College basketball coach Tony Bennett is my god-cousin. He is my god-father's nephew. That probably doesn't count, but it is the closest connection I have.
