“I was waiting at the stage door and then you came out and you came out and you walked right up to me and you said, ‘How are you? How are you? I haven’t seen you in a long time!’ And you gave me a big hug. All the while I was thinking, ‘I don’t know this woman.’ I mean, I know who you are. I was a fan. And I’ve been a fan of yours since Grand Hotel,” Jesse said. “But I was like, ‘Oh my God, Jane is hugging me.'”

He continued, “And then you said, ‘I don’t remember where we met? How do we know you?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know,’ and you started mentioning things, ‘Well, maybe we did a commercial together,’ and trying to put it in context. And you said, ‘Well, I don’t know. I’ll find out later, but it was nice to see you. Thank you for coming.’ And I was just speechless because I felt like you spoke to me very much.”

“You’re a huge star to me. Look, I know now that you’re a huge star, not just a huge star. But I was very impressed by that encounter. And then a week or two later, I’m working at Starbucks on the corner of 79th Street and Broadway and you walk in, see me and say, ‘I know you here!'” Jesse added.
