Then she turned to Cary Grant and said, “You never see films stars in Hollywood, do you?” And Cary said: “No. You. Don’t.”
Michael Caine tells this story about a fairly well-known movie icon:
Whereupon she shrugs, nods, and goes back to minding her own business.
What exactly is digital marketing?
Addendum: My father, who’d worked as an artist for Disney since 1938, took my kid brother and me to Disneyland the summer of 1959. While we kids were off doing rides, my father spotted Disney talking to somebody in front of the Enchanted Tiki Room. Walt was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, straw hat, sun glasses. Nobody gave him a glance. My father walked up and scratched Disney on the back. Walt turned around, said “Oh hi, Ralph,” and they chatted for a few minutes before going their separate ways. Another example of Disney being unnoticed when out of his usual context.
Then there is the (maybe apocryphal) story of the frugal Grant standing in line at a MacDonald’s, where he is noticed by a customer. She says, “You know, you look like Cary Grant.” And Cary Grant looks at her and says, “Would Cary Grant be standing in line at MacDonald’s?”
At which point my friend, like a lot of thirteen-years-olds, got more ambitious and asked if he could visit Disney’s Burbank studio. Disney nodded and looked at the man he was with. “Ken here will give you his phone number. Just call him and he’ll set something up.”

Sure. …
I had a very funny moment with Cary [Grant]. We were talking outside a hotel in Los Angeles when a woman came out. She suddenly saw me and said, “Michael Caine! I have been in Hollywood for two weeks, I’m just leaving, and you’re the first film star I’ve seen. You’re the only one!”
Ken stopped and gave my friend a business card. Walt halted as well. A woman standing fifty feet away yelled “Walt Disney!” and pointed. Like that, a couple hundred people headed in Disney’s direction. As they started to surround him, Walt vanished through an employee entrance. He was right about the “dead duck” thing. (Note: this is a replay of an earlier post, but it fits the question.)
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
In 1961 a friend of mine, then thirteen years old, noticed Walt Disney walking down Disneyland’s Main Street with another man. Nobody paid Walt the slightest attention. He wasn’t in a suit, his grayish hair was without quickie dye for a movie camera, he wore no makeup. My friend fell in step beside Disney and asked for an autograph. Disney nodded, scribbled his name on the back of my buddy’s ticket book, and maintained his pace, saying if he stopped he would be “a dead duck”.
Henry Cavill, longtime Superman in a long line of Supermen, stood under a New York City billboard displaying “Henry Cavill as SUPERMAN!” He wore glasses. Nobody recognized him.
