Celebrities with Stage Fright
Celebrities and famous public speakers have all fought their own battles with stage fright! For many, the struggle continues even after they have made their names, and their fortunes, as performers.
Kim Bassinger
Even after decades of success on the silver screen, the idea of performing in front of a live audience causes Ms. Basinger's stage fright to rear its head. Here's what the actress had to say about performing on the live stage: "It's a fear of mine. I've been asked many times to come to Broadway... (and) I have a tendency to go toward anything I fear." - taken from actressarchives.com
Scarlett Johansen
For Ms. Johansson, it's public appearances offstage that trigger stage fright. Speaking of awards ceremonies and the like, she had this to say "I don't really enjoy them. I actually have horrible stage fright when it comes to those things." - taken from http://www.actressarchives.com/
The actress says she gets through her stage fright attacks by focusing on her outfit! What makes you feel more confident as you take the spotlight?
Elvis Presley
The King himself was not immune to stage fright... as shown by the following quote:
"I've never gotten over what they call stage--fright. I go through it every show. I'm pretty concerned, I'm pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don't let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it's a new crowd out there, it's a new audience, and they haven't seen us before. So it's got to be like the first time we go on." - taken from http://quotations.about.com
