I think more people would know her as Lana in the animated show “Archer,” currently on FX.

I haven’t met too many celebreties in my day (although my parents have on two or three different occasions), but I do remember meeting Marjane Satrapi, author of graphic novels Persepolis, which tell of her childhood experiences growing up in Iran (the animated film of the series lost against Ratatouille, another deserving movie, during the 2007 Oscars), and she signed one of her books for us. So we have a signature from an Oscar nominee! lol She was a lovely, very down-to-Earth woman.

Also, one evening on a whim my mother, sister and I went to a book signing of sorts; several frequent New York Times cartoonists had recently released a book of their rejected strips (which were sometimes funnier than the ones that made initial publication). We went to see them speak, and they were bright, neurotic and very funny men. At one point, one cartoonist drew a spontaneous gaggle of doodles for people to watch, and after the end of the show my sister boldly asked if she could have it. We still have that thing, somewhere.
