Read the sentences. I was only inches away from the movie star. Then, he turned around and calmly said, “Hello, Deborah” Can you believe it? Where should the exclamation point be placed? Then, he turned around and calmly said, “Hello, Deborah!” Then, he turned around and calmly said, “Hello, Deborah”!

Inside the quotation marks.

Nowhere. If he said it calmly, there was no use of exclamation. A period should be after Deborah.
