LOL! 
True story but back in 1976, I had tics to be in the studio audience of a "Mike Douglas Show" taping which was done here in Philly in the-then KYW TV studios right near Independence Hall (the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History is at that location now).
The guests included Barbara Carerra, Don Knotts, and the-then hot child star Kristy McNichol. Well when the taping was done and we were leaving, I spotted Don Knotts hurriedly walking down a corridor to the back exit and I managed to catch up to him to ask for his autograph (had my handy little book ready) and he graciously stopped and obliged (he looked like his mind was on a million other things, which I expect it was).
But the most dramatic thing was out in front of the building when they brought Kristy McNichol out. She was 14 at the time and her managers basically shoved her into the middle of a growing crowd of fans, spectators and media. As me and the group I was with edged closer, I watched in sadness because when I was about to hand her my little book, the terror in her eyes due to all the people and media lights (it was dusk at the time), etc., impacted me so profoundly - especially when her manager gripped her shoulders to keep her in place, that after that, I refused to do anymore autograph-seeking for the next, almost-30 years (until that convention).
