I have to admit, the first time I met her, all I could say was how amazing she was, and that my name was Paige. And how sad I was that ER was ending. I remember also commenting on her broken wrist. However, yesterday, I told myself to "go for it" and talk to her as much as I could because I never know if I will get the chance to meet her again. She is a DOLL! For those of you who have not met her, she is so warm and welcoming to her fans. And shy too, but it suits her. So go ahead and talk to her. If she isn't in a rush, she WILL talk to you.

Wow! Great stories ladies, the more I hear about how nice Maura is, the more I like her. She is so good to her fans, and that really goes a long way with people. You should have gotten that assistant's name and told Maura that they were lying to you guys that she had left. She might have a talk with the rude assistant.
That's interesing. she must have decided that in the past two years, because I got her autograph through the mail two years ago when she did a play.
I'm glad everyone had a great time.

Well, there's not a lot more that I can say that Paige, Kizzy, and Martine haven't said. My husband and I got to the theater just before 3 and got our tickets and went to wait for the doors to open. As I was sitting on the steps, who walks out of the elevator and passes me on her way up the steps? MAURA! She went by so fast, I almost didn't figure out who it was! Then Martine and Kizzy came and I recognized them from their photos on Martine's blog. I went up and introduced myself and we chatted for a while until Paige and her mom got there. The rest of the evening was a everyone has described. I'm still kicking myself for not following Paiges' mom after Mikhail Baryshnikov and getting him to sign my program. But, I wasn't sure of how long Maura was going to be, and she was the one my husband and I went to NY to see. After seeing Maura and having her sign my season 7 DVD's (which Maura looked at and asked me which season it was and said "oh 7", like probably everybody hands her season 7 to sign, and my copy of Improper Bostonian, and having my husband take our picture, we walked with the others for a while until the street we needed came up. We shook hands with each other and all exclaimed how wonderful an afternoon it was and how nice it was to meet each other and off my husband and went to Greenwich and dinner at Morandi's. It was a great time and I'm so happy to have met all the lovely people on the the forum and to see Maura again.

Back home, still feeling like a total zombie though, and catching up on the forum which will probably take me a few hours ;D I missed TDWD a lot, wish I could have logged in more, but we simply didn't have enough time. New York keeps you 'busy' ! All I can add here is that I'm so glad we decided to go back to the play on Sunday for 2 reasons: 1. It was so great to meet other fans 'for real'. I wish we would have met before the play already so we would have had even more time to talk 2. I met Maura twice in 3 days At first I was hesitating a bit to have another pic signed (coz I already had her sign 6 pics last Friday) but I thought what the hell, so I waited till the other fans got their pics and pictures and went up to her and said: 'Can I have one more for another fan?' 'Sure''Remember me?' 'OH YEAH' ;D ;D ;D 'Thank you so much for everything' And like Paige said, we were all talking a bit more about 'Rescue Me' and how we liked 'Kelly Mc Phee' and we were so glad she confirmed that she would return to the show! And I also asked her: 'Hey Maura, did you get our flowers in L.A.? There were a lot of orange and yellow flowers in it. 'Oh yes, I did, they were beautiful Thanks! I shared them with the other cast members'Finally when she went away I yelled at her: 'Good luck with everything' and she returned and smiled and yelled 'thanks'! And I was in seventh heaven again ! Kathy, Paige and Kizzy, your pics with Maura are awesome !

There were a lot of orange and yellow flowers in it. 'Oh yes, I did, they were beautiful Thanks! I shared them with the other cast members'Ohh great!!! Finally when she went away I yelled at her: 'Good luck with everything' and she returned and smiled and yelled 'thanks'! And I was in seventh heaven again ! OMG that is SO cute, she is so sweet!! I just imagine it, see her walking away -as in a dream- in her yellow raincoat turning one more time around....

These are all great details about meeting Maura, and congrats for doing so! Curious, I saw a posting about Maura breaking her wrist. How on earth did she do that?
