I know he rarely acted , but Ned Sherrin was extremely pompous on the two occasions I met him.
However, the contrast makes all the lovely people we've met all the greater.

Freddie Bartholomew doesn`t got a autograph of Greta Garbo.
She closed the door when he asked her on the set of Anna Karenina.
Not very nice!
Fair enough, but the second occasion was at a charity dinner for the Terrance Higgin's Trust where I was sat near to him on a table for eight. After initial introductions he made no attempt to speak to anybody at the table except for two others. Considering that this was in aid of charity I would have thought he could have behaved more courteously. Fortunately, he buggered off after the pudding, leaving us to enjoy a good evening for a worthy cause.

Bum Bum.
I was expecting such an original response from you Timmy. Though I see you cleverly edited it so I can not quote your humorous (sic) underlining of words in my post. Perhaps you should be listed as an example of this thread's subject; "star"?, perhaps not, "arrogant"?; I rest my case M'lud.

Many many years ago an ex-associate of mine met Wilfred Pickles and apparently found him to be the most insufferably arrogant person he had ever encountered.
Bob Hoskins made few friends around my home town whilst filming here a few years ago. The bloke had a serious attitude problem.
In the 70s Hughie Green also visited this corner of England. Swaggered around like he owned the place and regarded the local mere mortals as though they were something he'd trodden in. Absolute twat.
I met Bob Hoskins on the way home from a film festival in Spain. He was chatting to a friend as we waited for our luggage. I waited for a break in their conversation and then approached Bob saying "May I shake the hand that throttled Roger Rabbit?" He laughed, shook hands and then we had a nice chat about his work. A very nice and friendly man.
Maybe you caught him on a bad day, or maybe it's the way people approached him

I have always got that impression. Purely from TV and radio, never having met the man.I know he rarely acted , but Ned Sherrin was extremely pompous on the two occasions I met him.

Not an actor but from what I've just been reading Alex "Hurricane" Higgins takes some beating for self importance!
