Jekyll Or Hyde! Meeting American Horror Story Star Francis Conroy! And Wait For It… This Time… She Was A Doll! Autographs! Photos! Six Feet Under Sauciness!
There are just some people who are not that fan friendly. I mean it sucks if you like that person, but honestly I would rather someone be upfront about it rather than pretend to be all nice like Tobey Maguire.
I don’t know if you read my first encounter with Six Feet Under star Francis Conroy… But… Basically I met her one on one without crowds and while she signed she was not happy about it.
In fact, I pretty much got chastised for not having a job at the time, not going to her play and for my choice of DVD to bring to get signed for a friend. Not mine mind you, but a friend.
So, when I saw that Francis Conroy was playing Ouiser in a production of Steel Magnolias, one I found it fitting for her to be playing that character but two I didn’t have much hope of meeting her again.
Now, that night was also the night I met Elizabeth Perkins for the first and as of right now only time. So, once that happened nothing else really mattered at all.
But still, since I had passes into the party I might as well enjoy it right? So I did. In the party, Liz and I asked Francis if she would mind taking a photo with us, Francis said, “Sure! Let me take off my glasses so we can get a better photo!” I did a double take, and was like who is this!
Francis kindly took a photo with me and with Liz.
We actually chatted for a bit about the play and Francis said, “It’s always good to just keep working.” LOL…
I was so taken aback and so happy to have had such a pleasant encounter! I mean who knew?!?!
Like I said my first encounter she said autographs were weird, quizzed me if I saw her play and then acted like I was a vagrant. In fact her friend who was with her felt so bad for us he apologized FOR HER!
This night… She was a doll!
So, on this day, much to my delight Francis Conroy is Mr. Hyde!
For being so cool Francis Conroy gets the Happy Theo Award!

Oh she is a hag. I remember after already hearing the rumors of how bad she was trying to get her at the Catwoman premier. She was coming out of the movie for the party and I was lined up awaiting autographs(there was no set up for drop offs). I said Ms. Conroy would you please sign my poster? She looked at me and said “I’d rather not.” Ha maybe it was because she was so stunned by what a piece of crap the movie was!
Some folks just have their good days. It’s nice you got to do photos with her and she was nice about it.
Anyone who comes from a theatre background can be really tricky. It sucks you had one bad experience, but I’m sure this one made up for it.
