Approaching Celebrities

On a recent trip to New York City, we saw Katie Couric on the street! I wanted to ask for an autograph and a photo, but my husband said that would've been too pushy. Who's right?


Your husband wins this one. It's inconsiderate to approach a celebrity during a random street sighting. However, if you spot someone famous at a public event ‑- such as a movie opening or a book signing, where a celeb knows she'll be on display ‑- you can feel free to ask for an autograph. Otherwise, respect the person's space; you'd wish for the same if your roles were reversed.
