At this one hotel I worked at we were the host hotel for the science fiction convention that came to town annually. People who were attending the convention stayed with us and so did all the has been celebrities that were booked into the convention.
I will not mention any by name - but quite a few of these so called stars were not the nicest people in the world. They were not terribly famous anymore but that did not stop them from acting as if the whole world owed them.
One dude - famous for being in a couple tv shows from the eighties was totally pissed off that we had to kick everyone out of the bar by 2am. He was mad that he was made to leave (gee, since it was state law) He came out of the bar with a woman on each arm and just ranted.
Another dude (famous for being in one show in the seventies) came downstairs at one in the morning and wanted food. We had none. we did not deliver room service that late. So, he got a taxi and went to Denny's with a woman. Not too terribly sucky but hilarious that he was drunk and had the munchies. He kept talking about how this tv show ruined his career and how he never really got work after that.
One woman (famous for being in tv shows from the sixties) got mad because I sent her driver to her room to pick her up. She ranted about how nobody should have known her room number. Normally I would not have sent someone but the dude came in and asked where room number was - so he knew it ahead of time. He would have gone there regardless. The funny thing is that she was always depicted on tv as being super nice but in her old age she was cranky as hell.
I also had an encounter with a celebrity who was deaf in one ear and got mad because I was trying to talk to him and did not know which ear to talk into.
On the plus side - I met a dude from the star wars movies and got to chat with him about his experiences.
