One of CT’s Biggest Celebrities Has Two Close Encounters with Black Bears

Connecticut is the home to many very famous people. You may have encountered Glenn Close shopping in Greenwich, Paul Simon at the grocery store, Eddie Money checking out a local band, or maybe Dustin Hoffman strolling through your town.

Usually, these celebrity sightings are welcomed. However, one local celebrity wasn't so happy about a visitor that showed up in her neighbor's backyard. Just before 11:00 pm on Tuesday night, Bridgewater resident, Mia Farrow, tweeted a picture of a black bear that was a little too close for comfort.

Then, again, last night (March 21) at around 8:30, Mia tweeted ANOTHER photo of a black bear that is way too close for my comfort:

I once had my own brush with a bear on our way to Hunter Mountain. But, my encounter with Mia Farrow is much less dramatic and much more fun.

In my former life, I was a Veterinary Technician for a cat hospital. We had several famous clients. One day, Mia Farrow called and I found myself on the way over to her home for a house call for one of her beloved cats.

As I chatted with her in her home as she held her cat, it was clear that this beautiful and kind-hearted woman loves animals. But I am sure that as big as her heart may be, she would probably be very happy if she never hears about another bear sighting in her neighborhood.
