Woody Allen

My wife and I lived on the same street as him, East 70th in Manhattan, and had the same mailman, an Asian guy with a thick, black mustache. Standing at a crosswalk with his wife waiting for the light to change, we crossed paths on Park Avenue as I made my way toward Central Park.

Spike Lee

He inadvertently got up in my grill on a crowded sidewalk on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Pierce Brosnan

“Look out,” he cautioned to a young girl on a bicycle, passing by my wife and me in the company of another gentleman on an empty Park Avenue sidewalk.
