If you could ask that one famous
Hollywood Star ONE question…
what would it be?
Some of my favorite stars are depicted above. It would be a toss up between:
Vivian, what was it like to kiss Clark Gable?
Marilyn, if you could do it all again… would you?
Julia, which is harder: being a mother or twins or being a world-famous movie star?
Tom, exactly how do you feel about being best known for dancing in your underwear?
Meg, what is it like to have women imitate your orgasm?
Lucy, is Desi your soulmate?

hmmm, I’ll have to think on this one and then blog it and come give you the link…
my problem being that I knew my “favorite actor” and asked him many questions over the years .. so I need to think of someone I haven’t met and what I would ask him/ her!
January 4, 2009 at 5:53 am
I would ask a question of Nicole Kidman. Not saying she is my favourite Hollywood Star, but I don’t mind her. She is Aussie after all, lol…
“What really happened to cause your marriage break-up with Tom Cruise?

A: I had the strangest dream about them divorcing about a year before they did. I always wondered why I had that dream because I don’t even know them! Anyway, I’d love to know, too!
D: I enjoyed the DeForrest Kelly site.
V: I don’t know who that actor is! Do share!

I planned on posting this on my blog but then the whole migraine thing threw off my week. I’ve been playing catch-up since then and just now remembered this post.
It was a tough choice. My first thought was to ask Elvis “What is your life story? Take your time with your answer.” 🙂 (My dad was a huge fan and raised me to appreciate his music. Ok, and when I was a kid I had a crush on him.)
Then I thought it would be fun to ask him if he had a choice to do his life over would he choose:
1) The same life he had (with all the celebrity and early death)
2) A quiet and anonymous long life with enough material possessions to live comfortably, but no fame or fortune.
So I’m going with my second question.

I would ask Bing Crosby about being a father. Here is my full answer:

Sher, thanks for putting this together. This is my first time to Thursday’s Thoughts.

Oh Alyce, sorry about the migraines. I have them too although they aren’t as bad as they used to be. Feel better.
I don’t really have a favorite actor but when we were kids we loved to watch the Sunday matinee on TV. We only got 2 1/2 channels out here in the boonies (3 channels in the winter when the signal was clearer) so we watched what was on. We often got to see the Three Stooges. Ah, the good old days! I would like to ask the three (or 4, 5 however many they had):
How many times did you really poke each other in the eyes?
I subscribe!
January 8, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I’d ask Grace Kelly what it was like to have both Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra croon to her. 🙂

January 9, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Here’s my question to John Malkovich:
“How did you feel about the recent Presidental election, and what are your thoughts about Barack Obama becoming the first black president?”
I thought I’d ask this question to Mr. Malkovich, because not only is he one of the most underrated actors of his generation, but he seems like aa very intelligent guy?
Thank you having this great contest, even though I’m not going to win, and also, this is my first time visiting this site.

Robert Redford, who was your favorite actor to work with? And what was the movie you were in that you enjoyed making the most?

January 13, 2009 at 2:16 pm

“I would ask John Lennon to go out with me on the day he went to Yoko Ono’s art show. Maybe the Beatles would have created more magic.”

January 14, 2009 at 10:35 pm
I would ask Jennifer Aniston how she deals with the hurt when she sees Brad and Angelinas pictures on tv and in magazines. I feel so bad for her as it is hard enough to see a marriage end but to have it shoved in front of you over and over again makes it so much harder.
January 14, 2009 at 10:43 pm

January 15, 2009 at 7:14 am
I’d ask Barbra Streisand how she *really* felt when President Bush kissed her at the recent Kennedy Center gala. Actually, if I could ask her anything, I’d probably want to know why she didn’t direct more films in her career, if there were any particular obstacles, either creatively or politically, that limited her output, and if she has any projects on the horizon. Then I’d ask her about Bush 🙂
January 15, 2009 at 7:42 am
I would ask Will Smith, ‘Will you marry me?’ 🙂
