Gwyneth Paltrow in NC on May 2, 2001
Hello Gwyneth fans!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Gwyneth Paltrow.  She was style, beauty and grace. 

The picture was taken by one of the directors or someone who was coaching Ms. Paltrow about her character in the movie (I believe it was the director).

I was on my way back to check if my car had been unblocked by other spectators on the set, when I spotted
Ms. Paltrow walking back to  her trailer and started motioning to her to get a  picture of her. When security
finally noticed me, so did Ms. Paltrow. Ms. Paltrow waived security away and informed them to let me pass.
She agreed to take a picture for me, but then the director offered to take the picture of us both. Between screaming, hugging, smiling and laughing with Ms. Palrow, the director took two pictures. I then asked Ms. Paltrow for her autograph and promptly dropped the pen.

The pen rolled toward Ms. Paltrow and stopped just a little under the backend of a trailer, by the tire.  Before I could move, Ms. Paltrow had bent down, picked up the pen and continued to sign her autograph as if nothing had happened. I could only stand there slack-jacked and give
tell my name. When I realize I was looking kind of stupid,
I began babbling about my name. She turned gracefully and said "Bye Felicia".

I was very impressed with the kindness she had shown me. I am still floating to this day. Ms. Paltrow has touched me with her graciousness and ability to treat
me like I mattered as a person. I will forever remember the day I met her and her down to earth appeal. 

I will be a fan forever!
