ADVENTURES OF A BUXOM BLONDE (how I met celebrities in New York)

 

This is both stories and color of photography of the major stars of Hollywood .Some I  met for the

 first time, and others I kept meeting throughout the years.   It is a journey of  coming face -

to- face with fame...when Jane Fonda told me to hold the camera higher to get a better shot of us,

when I met Elizabeth Taylor on  three  different occasions, when John F. Kennedy asked said he

was running for the Presidency of the United States, and when Princess Grace Kelly came to

hear a concert  on board ship in Cannes. The photos are all shot by me.  Come on the journey!

A journey through history and time.  demetriadaniels@gmail.com

At the famous Rockefeller Center in NY, Ellen DeGeneres taped two shows, outdoors above the ice skating rink.  Her first guest was PINK who sang three songs.  JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE was also interviewed then came JIMMY FALLON , and the hit of the evening was the interview with
HILLARY CLINTON, interviewed by a 10-year old child named MACY. 

                                                                              PINK
The evening was lush with warm air and the center provided water bottles for everyone!
They did give us pink wristbands to watch the show.

                                               HILLARY CLINTON with MACY
MACY, is the 10-year old expert on the American Presidency.  She gracefully interviewed
Mrs. Clinton, and in the end, they presented her with a junior sized blue pant suit, just like
the one Mrs. Clinton was wearing.  Does she want to become the President of the United
States?  Yes is the answer. 

                                                              JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

                                                                     JIMMY FALLON

ELLEN  asks all the right questions and she is a joy to watch her interview.  She also
did some dancing along the way !
