For some stars privacy is an overrated commodity. In 1919, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford went on their European honeymoon. The two international icons had divorced their previous spouses and were concerned about how they would be greeted. They needn't have worried. In London their limousine was surrounded by admiring women who pulled Mary out of car to shake her hand, still grateful after two year for her efforts selling war bonds. In Paris they couldn't get any sleep with crowds gathering below their hotel room to serenade them. In Amsterdam they attended a party and were mobbed by other guests who wanted to get close to them. The acrobatic Fairbanks placed his wife on her shoulder and escaped through window. Finally, they found privacy in Hamburg, because of World War I their movies were not shown there. For an hour famous newlyweds walked streets unnoticed until bored Mary turned to her husband and said,"Doug I'm sick of this. Let's go back to one of those countries were they mob us."

Some entertainment organizations are so vast that employees don't always recognize people at top. Walt Disney who often was harsh with those who worked for him, had no patience for anyone at Disneyland who was rude to customers or as he put it, guests. One time when an unfriendly security guard prevented he and his wife Lillian from getting on a ride, Walt fired him reasoning man would be unpleasant with others. But if someone was doing their job they had nothing to fear from boss. Once, when Walt was on hand for a demonstration of a new ride a young girl working there chided him for lighting up a cigarette, it wasn't allowed. Disney, who eventually died of lung cancer, asked, "Whose idea was that?" "Walt Disney's." Walt stubbed out cigarette. "That's good enough for me."

Sometimes famous have a difficult time not being center of attention. Once at a party at Louis B. Mayer's house, mogul was expressing his admiration for a female," The red hair, legs, I have never seen such beauty. She walks so regally like a queen". Greer Garson new queen of MGM lot was standing nearby. She walked up to Mayer's circle and said," Why thank you Mr. Mayer." It turned out LB was talking about his new horse.
