So since there are so many of you who have met her I was wondering if by any chance you knew of any places she frequented reguarly? Just if someone wanted an autograph not to like stalk her or anything weird like that.

I honestly don't think that is an appropriate thing to discuss on a message board. Everyone here( hopefully) obviously loves Bernadette and wouldn't want anything to happen to her but what if that kind of info. gets in the wrong hands. Besides, everyone is entilted to thier own privacy. She will be back on Broadway soon and I'm sure will be avalable to sign autographs after the show. She loves her fans and does everything she can to make them happy.

I'd have to agree, too. Let's not talk about addresses or hangouts. She deserves her privacy.

Well, this (original) post really bothered me-glad others have expressed their views.
I agree-if you want her autograph, wait for her at the stage door,where she expects you, or request it through her publicist. We don't know who you are-you probably are just a fan like the rest of us, but---
Why would you want to disturb her while she's leading her private life, anyway?
Jean (and, no, I have never asked her for her autograph, although I have made donations to charity to get it on playbills)

I know you feel desperate to just perhaps meet her. I myself sometimes forget she is only a normal person but, i agree. don't bother her in a place in which its not appropriate.
they say bernadette's wonderful..........and she is

I agree with everyone here...it's definitely not appropriate to ask for this information. I know the original poster said it's not for stalking purposes, but it sounds like it is to me.
I don't think it's ever appropriate, anyway, to ask for someone's autograph unless they are expecting it (like after a concert or a show). Would you want some strange person (no offense, I'm sure you're not strange) coming up to you in a store or restaurant and getting all worked up because they're meeting you? I know she's a celebrity, and it somes with the territory, but still.
Anyway...just my 2 cents

I think perhaps what needs to be clarified to the original poster is that those on the board who know Bernadette well do not get her autograph, talk to her, or whatever by going to her favorite restaurant or hangout. They all talk to her at concerts, the stage door, CD signings, whatever. It just sounds like that original poster perhaps thought some of us knew her popular hangouts and that is how we have met her so much. But that is not the case. There is an appropriate time and place to meet with her and those times and places are only when she is there under professional circumstances.

I really do not mean to sound rude here but please do not speak for those of us on the board who may know her . How do you know I only see her under professional circumstances? I'm just saying please dont assume or speak on others behalf. I agree it would be a little odd getting a persons autograph that you know quite well and to be honest with you I never really got the point of autographs but for some people its something they really enjoy to do.I do agree with you though that there is definitely an appropriate time and place for fans to meet her.

Haha I bet everyone though they had gotten rid of me, but alas, I am back on the board....anyway..I recall that every time I meet someone who knows, has met, or has even gotten a glimpse of Bernadette, I spaz...I guess you could call me obsessive, and I would definately flip if I randomly saw her hanging out somewhere for fun...but then comes that horrible little thing called "tact". I know if this were a true situation, I would be compelled to run up to her and tell her I am her biggest fan and all (like she hasn't heard that one before, right) But then I would realise that she is just a person trying to relax on her free time...true, am EXTREMELY talented and wonderful person, but a person nonetheless. She deserves the same space that we deserve...and I am not trying to beat this topic into the ground...opinionated old me just saw this topic and felt the great urge to voice my opinion...
I chose and my world was shaken, so what? The choice may have been mistaken...the choosing was not, you have to move on......

I definately agree with everyone's opinion here. There is a time and place to meet Bernadette and that is after her public appearances. I don't think anyone wants to make her feel uncomfortable and possibly become angry if you were to meet her at any other time. She is such a busy person and she needs time to be herself outside of fame.

No offense moljul, because I really don't mean to sound rude (if I do), but I agree with Cindy's last post. You really shouldn't speak for others. Even though some people do see Bernadette (more often than not) under professional circumstances, that doesn't mean that it's the same case for everyone.
For example, MollyEliz has posted that she has seen Bernadette hanging out in Florida (and I know that it's true); those are not professional circumstances, like a concert or a show. So please, just don't assume.

i agree with everyone else here. i certianly love to meet her, but i dont hunt her down. what people dont understand (and im not saying this about anyone on this board, but other people) is that celebs have their own lives and shouldnt be "stalked", if you will. if you happen to run into her when your out, good for you! i wouldnt go there too often though, because bernadette does need her privacy.
<3 ya lots,

Perhaps I phrased it incorrectly as I was not assuming anyone's relationship with Bernadette or trying to speak for anyone. What I meant was that I doubted those that know Bernadette or who have seen her often since becoming her fan did not initally get to know her by hanging out at her personal hangouts on the chance that she would come in so they could meet her, get an autograph or whatever. At least I hope that is not what you did because if you did, I would highly suggest questioning the appropriateness of your actions. My initial response was in reference to the original poster who was asking what her hangouts were as if this was the way some on the board got to know her. If you do not know Bernadette personally it would be very inappropriate to go to these places to meet her as this is her private life. A private life, I think we all agree, is her's to live without her fans constantly being present. I don't think the original poster was trying to stalk her but his/her post had a tone as if they thought that was the way most people had met her so many times.
