I don’t blame others for not seeing Toronto as a hot spot for bumping into T.V. and Movie stars. But it’s evident that our city is becoming pretty well known for shooting locations.
Course, if you’re like me, you’ll have a horrible time trying to get their autographs. Not to say that I haven’t ran into my fair share of movie stars. I have. But I NEVER realize it’s them until they are far, far away…
One incident was at a ceramic painting place called Colour Me Yours (which I think has either closed down or has been bought out). I was there for my best friend’s stagette. The entire place was empty that day, except for one table next to us where a pretty blond lady was there with her two young children.
Her and I exchanged some pleasantries and shared a blow drier which was used to dry the layer of paint before a second coating was applied.
I did think to myself that she looked awfully familiar… and it wasn’t until after she had left and I was paying my fee when the girl behind the cash said, “That was Rebecca Demornay!”
Hello? Rebecca? Demornay? Hot sex goddess from Risky Business? Evil temptress from The Hand That Rocks The Cradle? Sex bombshell starring in And God Created Woman?
Second time in my life in which I wished I was able to kick my own ass was when a bunch of my friends were invited over to my friend’s parent’s place for dinner. This occured in the same year in which I ran into Demornay.
We were signing in down at the concierge desk. I stood there, leaning against the counter as a gentleman signed in at the same time. I then noticed my friend motioning to me.
He did that head-jerk thing over towards the gentleman beside me.
For the life of me, I couldn’t understand what was wrong with my friend and why on earth he was making such a big deal over a normal looking man, wearing a trench coat and looking very much like…
SEAN CONNERY!
This… I noticed. As he was walking away. Leaving us with our mouths gaping wide open.
I looked at the concierge desperately and was greeted with a… “Yes… that was Sean Connery. He’s renting out an appartment while on location for a movie…”
My stars are definitely not aligned properly with other… well… stars, so to speak.

If you haven’t seen Rebecca DeMornay’s lastest film “Identity” (also starring a bunch of unknowns like John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, and Alfred Molina), I highly recommend it. Great film. And she still looks hot =)
