Yes, I've heard that about other "green rooms". That's why I was curious. It just wouldn't sound at all as glamorous to say, "While I was waiting in the beige room. . ."

BlancheDubois, I've done a little training instucting people how to get on with the Media. These guys would make a great training video in that

Mayb,

Well, as Frank Burns said on MASH, "It's nice to be nice to the nice."  They probably are nice people, who happen to be savvy to the fact that they'll get better press if they're not rude to the interviewer or in front of them.  I wonder why more 'stars" don't seem to be aware of that.  I'm always cognizant when I read Vanity Fair, that the whole production of the interview and write-up is calculated to give a certain "image".  Still, how fun.

I'm glad you had a great experience there. We all wonder sometimes what these people are really like.

I have often wondered if a green room was really green! You have just answered that question for me...thanks!
