Brush with fame: The public's one-sided bond with celebrities

Journalist Jancee Dunn admits it: She has been obsessed with rock star Stevie Nicks ever since high school. "I listened to Stevie's music for hours and hours and hours," she said. "I tried to dress, in an ill-advised moment, like Stevie! And she's just kind of bound up in my early years in a way that is really intense and deeply personal."

The years flew by, but her feelings never faded. So, imagine her joy when, in 1997, Harper's Bazaar assigned her to interview Stevie Nicks at her California home! 

Dunn began prepping immediately, rehearsing in front of a mirror how she would say "Hell-o, Stevie."
