Are you famous?

I’m a legend in my own mind.

NO! - thank God.

[quote]I’m a legend in my own mind.

Are you Ezra Miller?

My husband is famous and DLers are horrible to him.

R4 = David Burtka

You'll find my name on four cast albums and a few miscellaneous CDs.

My first film was with Val Kilmer.

I was in Stephen Sondheim's address book.

Did you get to blow Val?

He was a hottie back in the day.

Somewhat famous here for the books I’ve written

Fame is subjective. Some people know all about soap opera actors, or athletes, or politicians.

I wouldn’t know any of those To save my life.

[quote]Are you famous?

I am, on the pageant circuit.

I've sucked off many a celebrity dick, but they ignore me on red carpets.

20 years ago I was known for crying on a reality show

Sadly, no, R7. But as he was a total asshole I don't mind.

Oh, wow. Thanks, r13.

Inside scoop.

[quote]20 years ago I was known for crying on a reality show

COPS?

r12 that could be any number of reality show "stars."

I knew a middling celebrity who used to read DL. But he was also a meth addict so who knows what’s up with him now

R11. I would say you were Nancy Reagan but she has been dead for awhile now.

[quote]My husband is famous and DLers are horrible to him.

Then why are you still married to him?!?

I'm well known in the city in which I live.

I have written several books and other works.

I also was in Stephen Sondheim's address book. (He once called some of my work 'brilliant')

I have several distinct careers.

A lot of you sound delusionally non-famous.

More like infamous

I was famous when I ran a certain 'high visibility' company. What a pain in the ass. I mean, you get to meet lots of other famous and important people and blow money on entertainment/assorted goofing off as part of running the company, but overall, ugh. It's just too exhausting after a while. And the media. What a collection of morons, J Fucking C. At my age, I just wouldn't be able to do it anymore.

Well, I am now !

I am Andy Dick’s agent

I am Shawn Mendes, the aggressively heterosexual international singing star and I don’t know why you queens are obsessed with me.

I was Miss Angie Dickinson's body double in the film, Dressed to Kill

[quote] Give us clues

Cream and yellow

Look good on a mellow fellow.

R8 Are you JK Rowling? I’ve suspected you’ve been posting here for a while.

Omg. R28 is Elijah Wood.

Having known Stephen Sondheim or having been praised by him is cool, but it just does not make anyone famous.

Sorry.

I'm nobody. Who are you?

Are you nobody -- too?

R12 are you Flo from The Amazing Race S3?

R6 Were you one of the performers, or did you work behind the scenes?

R12 were you the lady who cried when the Trading Spaces team turning your living room brown? Doug was the designer.

I was once in the audience of the Sally Jesse Raphael Show. I asked a question just to be on TV

r35 that was the best.

Nope🙂

Did you cry into the arms of your top when they painted over your stained wood trim on Trading Spaces followed by the top telling the cast that "you have to fix this." ...?

I am Mrs. Norman Maine!

I was on Martha Stewart once with my two gay friends. There was glitter everywhere. She gave us a stand-mixer.

My husband is famous in the country in which we live. In supermarkets people often run ahead up a different aisle so they can walk towards my husband and say hello. The funny thing is we were in london once and this couple were walking along hand in hand and i thought....Thats Madonna and Guy Ritchie. So my hubby did exactly what his fans do, he ran across the street and ahead of them and walked back, towards them to get a good look. . . A security guard appeared from no where to ask him to keep moving. He was polite.

Both, R34.

I'm very much connected to musical theatre, but I've also acted in straight plays...

The legitimate theater, R43?

If you google me about 300,000 references about me and my work come up.

I am known in the upper echelon of political circles.

Yes.

No.

I am bigger than a breadbox, Miss Francis.

I'm everything great and good within my mind. What is fame but a problem I've no use for.

Fame. I'm gonna live forever.

R46, welcome to the datalounge, Miss Lindz!

"Life is fair."

I once had three posts on Wit & Wisdom simultaneously back when that meant something! Of course that was anonymous. So no I'm not famous.

I live in Wrigleyville.

I am my master's dog at Kew, pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?

Ann Landers printed my letter to her advice column. That means I'm fabulous and famous!

Plays of mine have been reviewed multiple times in The New York Times, the New Yorker, Variety, etc.

My last Times review ran between reviews of the New York City Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera in the Friday edition.

But no, like most playwrights, I do not consider myself to be famous. I've worked with many famous people though. Seeing their lives up close, I think the only advantage to being famous is to having more of your work done. So I cannot imagine being reality-television famous, where there is no work to be done.

Is anyone Flyoverstan Famous?

R32, Then there’s a pair of us! Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

Honestly, R42, you and your "husband" both sound nuts and should be locked up.

I did a Broadway show about four guys from New Jersey and can currently be found with a blank profile on Grindr.

R1= timothee chalamet

R61, if you’re any of the ones I’m thinking of, you are SMOKING HOT!

(Loved those dudes!)

Maybe 20 years ago.

I was in a Washington Post TV spot about 25 years ago that ran for almost a year.

Oh, were you the guy who yelled “whoopdy-doo for my Subaru”?

R66 is that for me?

No, I just pensively (but with a soupçon of curiosity!) read the Post.

You’re cute. As yes, that was for you.

I would also be interested, famous people, in your feelings and observations about your celebrity or acclaim.

I regularly contribute to one of the most read news websites in the English-speaking world.

Manvox, R70?

One stand mixer for the three of you?

I would rather have had three decent nut cakes to distribute fairly, something personal, but then I've never known anything about marketing or branding. For me it's the taste and flavor and good company.

Alrighty then, r72.

I was on the local news once. My house had been robbed and a camera crew showed up to ask me about it. The next day all my coworkers said they saw it and gave me crap about having forehead pimples. I remember the lady interviewer was really nice and smelled like patchouli oil.

I was interviewed for the local news when I was a kid. In the 1970's the King Tut exhibit was traveling through the US the first time and lines were long outside the Smithsonian. I was in line with my parents and news asked me why I was there.

I would be if certain things became known, but I'm not ready for that.

R73 is so enormous. And proud in that illiterate way.

I had a moment in the spotlight.

[quote]I was interviewed for the local news when I was a kid. In the 1970's the King Tut exhibit was traveling through the US the first time and lines were long outside the Smithsonian. I was in line with my parents and news asked me why I was there.

This thread has already gotten up to 78 posts . . . by relying on an extremely loose definition of the word "famous."

R77 WTF are you talking about?

Everyone gets their 15 minutes R79 and since we live in an age where instagram influencers are "celebrities" being on your local news isn't all that loose.

Here is a major clue as to who I am, fellas...

"Used to be sad....used to be shy...funniest thing the saddest part is I never knew why...kicking myself for nothing was my favorite sport...I had to get out and start enjoyin' 'cause life's too short!...there's a new girl in town and I'm feelin' good...got a smile, got a song for the neighborhood..."

Here's another clue to help you...

I'm not Diane Ladd, Polly Holliday or Cecelia Weston. I'm not Vic Tayback, Beth Howland or Doug McKeon. Who am I ?

As I say on my Twitter feed, 'I'm no one of note'

I’m a famous trust funder

I'm poor, obscure, plain and little.

I was quoted in a national newspaper saying that a certain personality who landed a gig reporting on the Olympics had the interviewing skills of a small, unused soap dish.

I then proceeded to be a contestant on the game show this personality presented and was petrified one of the staff writers would have done their research and this little fact would be brought up.

So no, not famous enough to be recognized.

I was originally cast as the lead in one of America's most beloved sitcoms before being replaced because the producers wanted someone 'less funny.' I am one of the last surviving cast members of the one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, though I was not a regular. I frequently appeared on game shows with my husband(s). I also gained a level of infamy in the inner-circles of Beverly Hills society for my propensity to defecate in certain society doyenne's handbags during the 1970s, however I have been in talk therapy for years and haven't had an "incident" since the late 1990s, though I am still on many Do Not Invite lists.

You may not know what I look like or recognize my face, but stand too close and you’ll find out why I’m still (in)famous.

I had a popular video up in Xtube, when it existing. You couldn’t see my face but it was hot and fun.

^This man is a dentist.

No but a family member is. His fans follow my social media for that connection I suppose.

You’d be surprised how much free stuff I get for being kind of famous if I just ask. I think my favorite thing about being famous is that my name and age is listed on my birthday in Today in History on all the newspapers/websites every year. And of course, it warms my heart every single time someone comes up to me to compliment my work. 2005 changed my life forever.

Not sure if he still does, but Michael Musto used to post here

when's your birthday r92

Hi Eric @ R92

8/25/1974

Hi!

Are you the one who auditioned for The Good House?

R92, I’m pretty certain I know who you are.

It’s so cool that we have a major celebrity here. Yes, major. C-list my dimpled ass!

Geez, this thread is like the I Want To Be Underwhelmed threads.

I am known for my architecture, hygene and beauty.

r100 But not your spelling, apparently.

I'm Datalounge-famous.

r101, your comment is not Best. I report you to authority!

Okay, I think I know who r92 is also. If it is who I think it is, he's a very good actor!

I looked up celebrity birthdays for August 25 based on the clue R96 gave us. Ladies and people of the DL, please welcome who I’m pretty sure is SEAN CONNERY!!!!

R81 is "loose"?

That sounds smelly.

Is R8 Prince Harry? I'd love to think he was DL reader, but I don't suppose Meghan would allow it.

I'm famous for my candlelight suppers!

^^ Do you serve fava beans and and a nice Chianti?

I like to think R20 could be Fran Lebowitz. Checks several of the boxes. Though Fran doesn't like technology, she could totally be bluffing and at least writes to DL on her iphone.

R110 There’s no way that Lebowitz would brag about being in Stephen Sondheim’s address book.

I was in a Burger Chef commercial in 1977. I had one line: "YUM!". The casting director said I looked like I just smelled cookies baking.

Bahahahahahaha R112!

Did you pursue other commercials? Tell us your stories of the casting couch, please.

I'm George Santos, aka Ben Barnes, Binnie Barnes, and Pamela Barnes Ewing

I won my town's talent show when I was 15.

I am famous only to men aged 30+ who wear thick-rimmed glasses and own turntables.

i think the guy with the hubby is sedaris' spouse.

That’s great R115.

Sorry that you peaked so early in life.

The real question is how many times did he have to sleep with the judge to win?

Twice?

I’m a famous farter

Well I’m a famous marter.

[quote]I’m a famous farter

Ina? Nancy Grace?

My father invented Arizona.

And I'm a famous sharter!

[quote]I was in a Burger Chef commercial in 1977. I had one line: "YUM!"

I was in a McDonald's commercial and had no lines. I had to keep taking bites out of an Egg McMuffin. Such close-ups require multiple takes because so many things can go wrong. ("You had a crumb on your cheek. It looked gross.") You don't actually chew or swallow after taking a bite. A crew member held up a paper bag for me to spit the food into. I remember thinking that my acting career wasn't going so great, but at least I wasn't holding up a bag for actors to spit food into.

I had interest in a property from the Weinstein company but never got to the Harvey meet. Maybe I should be happy about that. Later I read how the company was dying at the same time they had approached me which might explain why they eventually ghosted me. This was before Harvey got exposed in the NYT.

I won a Hula Hoop contest when I was in 6th grade. While waiting around for results they let me enter the Frisbee contest and I won that too.

R127 is an overachiever.

I'm only famous on weekends.

We peed all over ex-President.

Infamous in a few circles. . . more related to tech than the entertainment industry as a whole. Just certain rumours that persist and they're ever more entertaining than the truth

Why would Sondheim have tolerated Fran Liebowitz?

Not famous, but did have my fifteen minutes. After appearing on Antiques Roadshow (Boston), someone recognized me (“Weren’t you on Antiques Roadshow?”) in a hardware store in Waitesfield, VT of all places.

I'm famous. I'll give you some clues...

I'm one of the cohosts of The View. I used to be a federal prosecutor, I consider myself Black when it suits me and Lathina when it suits me more. I wear janky weaves and wigs, have had my share of botox and fillers, had my tits deflated, and think very highly of myself. I love to correct my cohosts on national TV without looking them in the eye and doing a pout. I never correct my moderator because she's an EGOT winner and will whip my ass on the way home.

Who am I ?

New here. I'm a Tony Award winner.

[quote] I am famous only to men aged 30+ who wear thick-rimmed glasses and own turntables.

Welcome, Nana Mouskouri!

You are much adored here.

[quote] I'm a Tony Award winner.

I also got Tony’s award one night.

Well, honestly, I am now.

It’s not really good famous, though.

I Shot Donald Trump

R136-Were you a jersey boi?

R98 and r104- thanks! I auditioned for a TV show two days ago. Maybe I’ll get it!

I'm confident enough in my guess about R131 to say: That song is a lifelong favorite, and your overlapping talents are truly impressive.

Not quite sure what to make of the "rumours that persist" reference, except that the spelling is duly noted and maybe your name causes people to make silly assumptions.

And by "that song", I don't mean the Morissette tune that you attached.

[quote]I Shot Donald Trump

In the middle of Fifth Avenue?

No, I don’t have time, but I have PR reps who clip posts about me and show them to me. They’re usually insulting and depressing, but it’s flattering to be mentioned.

[R50] I'm gonna learn how to fly (high)!

If posts about you are “usually insulting and depressing”, you need better PR people R145.

I won an Oscar and I am female

R148 Did you win Oscar Homolka or Oscar Levant? Or maybe Oscar the Grouch?

r148, Julianne Moore? Seriously?

I am NOT famous by any means, but because of my job I’ve been in the paper and tv news a few times. (All for “feel good” stories) I’ve had people come up to me because of this. I didn’t care for it. I can’t imagine how REALLY famous deal with random people recognizing them and wanting to talk to them ALL the time.

I am a HUGE sellebrity who is often scene on red carpets and who made Gelson's potato salad fameous.

I'm famous for shaving famous men's bushes and chests. I'm a professional manscaper and fluffer as the need arises (or doesn't).

I was on password plus and wore stupid bib overalls

R106 Based on that clue, I think R81 might be Mr. Fister from Chris Burrous fame.

Duh.

No, but a Bachelor contestant is renting one of the cottages I own in a resort town! She’s been renting from me for months. Met her mom today who gave me this news. I’d never seen the Bachelor so looked it up and she’s described as a fan favorite.

She also was on another reality show.

Very nice girl. Not at all the type of person you’d expect to be on one of those shows.

I took a brief, but good, video of Bigfoot and have been seen with repeats on the Travel channel and Animal Planet. More being recognizable than famous.

About 15 years ago, someone suggested I post here. Several people told them they were crazy. I thought of joining in with them, but I thought that would be mean.

R82, are you Marvin Kaplan?

R141 I love C List Actor, you are sweet.

I've known and met a few famous people in different walks, including the current king of England. Fame, position, success -- it's a weird alchemy. Chase Fame and she eludes you, run from her and, well, you never know ...

I’m a private dancer

A dancer for money?

r157 Get a big security deposit.

No, but I'm aiming to be!?

R165 she’s rented from me for a while. Very reliable/responsible. She’s a great girl. Smart, accomplished and reserved. I was stunned to learn she was on The Bachelor. She was on early seasons—she’s in her 40s now.

Thanks r161

I ma a fmauos dlsxecic.

r142, the guy you're talking to spent all morning spamming DL with fake news from far-right "news" websites. I hate to burst your bubble about your guess, but I really doubt that guy is famous or who you thought he was. I'm sorry.

Coincidentally (or not) he's the second person I've seen on here who has claimed to be famous yet spends all day posting crazy troll crap. There are some very weird people on here.

Julianna Moore. Seriously.

When I come home my dogs act like I'm a rock star and I FEEL famous. Does that count?

Famous is as famous does

R173, meet r156

If you're all so famous why can't I figure out who you are from your clues?

So are we not allowed to say the show C LIster was on? Is there a DL code that I'm unaware of?

At any rate, I never watched your show. But good for you! What a great run the series had. (I'm from LA and know how hard it is get a gig like that.)

[quote]So are we not allowed to say the show C LIster was on? Is there a DL code that I'm unaware of?

I don't get this, either. The thread is annoying me.

Why can’t we mention Bones? He was great in it.

Why can't we just mention his name?

C-lister has given enough clues for the DL Sleuth Brigade to figure out his identity.

R180 Then it doesn't make any sense to keep his identity secret.

C-List is Eric Millegan - Zach Addy from Bones

Cool.

C-list sleuths.

Does being banned from Reddit for posting pointless bitchery count? It’s a type of fame lol

I can buy u all

Then u clearly have no taste

I’m actually semi-famous for two different products I sell. But no one knows my name, use a pseudonym for both. :-)

R188 Phil Swift! It's an honor. Forget that Bones guy.

If you read the New York Times, you probably know my name. I'm not a public figure otherwise.

[quote]If you read the New York Times, you probably know my name. I'm not a public figure otherwise.

Welcome, Maggie Haberman.

Yes. I livestreamed my miscarriage.

Did it involve a KFC bucket?

R116 Do mostly play acoustic guitar?

R116= Moby

I'm Brian Fellows!

^ Who?

I am Elvis. I have not left the building, nor do I plan to.

R190 Frank Bruni?

I'm famous at my local glory hole.

Are you Tracey Morgan, R196?!

r197 I'm Brian Fellows!

r201 SHUT UP BIRD.

R79 Maybe the thread should have been "Do you have a Wikipedia page your didn't make yourself?" Could have thinned the herd a little.

[quote]I am known for my architecture, hygene and beauty.

I've know quite a few people famous for architecture, and some known for their beauty or for their beauty products, but for hygiene??? Zip. Can't even think of an an example.

How many famous hiv people are there?
