Madonna

When DS Mania struck in 1968, Jackie Onassis stated publicly that she "gave it a whirl"!

KL Scott says that she got fan mail from Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward.

There was that mention on Gilmore Girls, so one or both of the Sherman-Palladinos (GG creators/writers) I guess.

I believe I read that Tricia Nixon watched it.  This would be during the original airing while her father was president.

LOL!  Make that infamous please  - at least that's what the angry villagers with torches tell me.

A couple I can think of off the top of my hat...

Frid was photographed at the White House in 1969 for Tricia's birthday party.
Yes, she was a BIG fan!

Rosie O'Donnell?
She's a big soap fan.

Even after coming out & getting involved in lesbian rights/women's issues, Rosie still mentions her All My Children addiction, and she still hasn't forgiven ABC  for cancelling Loving & Ryan's Hope!

Barbra Streisand?
Isn't that how Selby got Up the Sandbox~~the only Barbra male lead who wasn't a Redford category superstar.
Hmmmmm.........

One infamous fan is former NY club kid Michael Alig (who had his story told in a movie called "Party Monster") who is in jail for murder.  When the police found him with his van, it was full of DS videotapes and was mentioned in the papers at the time.

Wow... I wonder if those tapes are in the cell with him right now... DS probably doesn't go over in the 'joint' very well though...

so la alig was a fan?

that's pretty hot.i actually knew alig's partner in crime 'freeze' quite well back in my college days in boston.he dated a classmate of mine and even then was a total creep.whatev.

sometime ago i read andy warhol "superstar" and drag legend 'holly woodlawn's' autobiography 'lowlife in high heels' and she wrote an amusing passage about how back in the day she and her fellow east village freaks used to shoot up heroin,pile onto a bed and watch d.s..

the visual was just too much!
