Celebrity Sightings, Decorum

Two days ago I was at UCLA doing volunteer work at the medical center, when, during a short break, I saw Kevin Bacon. He was wearing dark glasses and kept his head low, I'm guessing he didn't want to attract attention. He browsed some rings, went in to the student store, and came out with some snacks. I told my cousin this, and she immediately said, "Did you talk to him?!" "did you get his autograph?" I was rather taken aback. My first impulse when I saw him in the hospital was to think he perhaps had someone close to him who was ill. I told my cousin that, and to show some more respect. But this was easy for me to say because although I've enjoyed a few of his movies (Tremor anyone?), Kevin Bacon just doesn't get my juices flowin'.Celebrities are sighted often at UCLA, my mom alone has gotten
1. An autograph from Tiger Woods
2. An autograph from Andre Agassi, plus a Nike duffel bag (what a nice guy)
3. Autographed picture from Jacklyn Smith
4. An autographed picture WITH Sly Stallone
and some more I can't remember. But keep in mind she was taking care of their friends and relatives and they wer eonly too happy to show her their appreciation.

But this had me thinking. What if I had seen an actor/actress I greatly admire. Like the brilliant, classy and incredibly gorgeous Gillian Anderson. I've admired her forever, for her talents, wit, and beauty. Would I be in the wrong to approach her in such a setting? Does anyone have any insight as to what the rules are?
