I Got Wendie Malick's Autograph!

I was working at the restaurant Saturday night and as I was walking away from my station to take a party to their table, two unexpected diners walked in (unexpected because they didn't have a reservation). I immediately recognized one of the two unexpected guests.

It was Wendie Malick! She's probably best known for her role on TV sitcom "Just Shoot Me" with David Spade. Most recently she was in the feature film "Confessions of A Shopaholic" with Isla Fisher.

I have to admit that I was a little bit star-struck and couldn't think straight. But, I still managed to give her a good table even though we were already fairly booked.

As she was leaving she thanked me for squeezing them in and giving them a nice table. I took the opportunity and asked her for her autograph. I don't know why but words weren't coming out of my mouth. I felt like an idiot. Nevertheless, I got her autograph and she was nice enough to ask for my name. I was surprised though, after I told her my name, that she said "Rita?! That's unusual."

As she walked out she thanked me again for giving her a nice table.
