I was once invited to attend a private dinner for Senator John F. Kennedy. But it was a Saturday evening, and I passed. Had better things to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother missed having dinner with Lyndon Johnson because she couldn't find the right hat to wear. While my father went off to the white house to break bread with the President, my mother, who's not a things and stuff person, stayed at the hotel and tried on 10 different hats and missed dinner.
I met senators, diplomats and the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
I did meet Sen. Robert Kennedy, and it taught me something about political charisma.
My dream dinner party guests would be Ethel Kennedy, Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson.
Some of the most important conversations I've ever had occurred at my family's dinner table.
To my great surprise and pleasure, I have had dinner with most of the people living with whom I would like to have dinner.
My dad took me to John Kennedy's inauguration when I was 8. We come every time, Republican and Democrat, because of this great country.
I left the table where there were important people and had lunch with my husband and a few friends. The reception was organised in my honour, so it was rather amusing.
I literally got a private invite for lunch with the Queen. There was just 10 of us. And I was absolutely petrified because you can't take anyone with you, and no other sportspeople were there. There was the head of the military, and then the Queen sat next to me.
When I met my husband, I refused to invite him home for Passover because I was embarrassed my mother might serve all the catered dishes in the wrong order.
