My husband met Patrick Dempsey because he is friends with Mc Dreamy's ex brother in law. They still talk because of his neice.
My sister knows Tim Robbins ans Susan Sarandon because they live in the same town and their kids were on the same little league team.
My daughters and I met Johnny Damon when he was a good guy on the Red Sox! We met him in Baltimore at the hotel when we were there to see games in Camden Yard.

I met Henry Winkler when I worked at Six Flags over Georgia in the mid 70's. He was shorter than I thought he'd be! He wanted to feed the porpoises.

My cousin did! She and her DH knew Chip Carter from college (Univ of Ga.) When Chip's dad was President, they went thru DC helping a friend move. They spent the weekend in the White House. My cousin & her DH spent the weekend in the Lincoln bedroom! The best part was they pulled up in the circular drive in front of the White House in a station wagon pulling a U-Haul trailer. Secret Service had a fit and had them pull around back - because of how it looked in the front!

Still in the 70's, In Delaware, I was approached by this guy while I was waiting for my then fiancee (didn't marry him! ) to get off work at a fitness club. He flirted with me and tried to get me to join the fitness club. (I went for free because of then DBF.) He kept flirting and I didn't give him the time of day. My then DBF told me that guy was Randy White of the Dallas Cowboys. He worked out at that fitness club during the off-season. And I was a huge Cowboy fan at the time. I didn't recognize him without the #54 shirt and a helmet!

In Atlanta, a coworker had a crush on one of the Falcon players. His roommate was injured and hospitalized. She saw that was a way to meet her crush. She talked me into going to the hospital to cheer up Mr. Wonderful's roommate. We met them both and several other players who went to visit. We developed a friendship with Mr. Wonderful and injured roomie. Turned out Mr. Wonderful had a fiancee back home. I ended up cooking for them in exchange for game tickets. They had us over to their apt & injured player (then recovering) came over to mine to watch movies during the off season.

When I lived in West Palm, I met some "known" people while working at Bank of America and spending Christmas with F. Lee Bailey's sister.

There have been several others, but as I have gotten to know them, they become less like celebrities and more like "regular" people. And I've found that most enjoy being appreciated for who they are out of the limelight.

Hilary Swank was a year ahead of me in school. We were both in gymnastics, and her best friend was one of my good friends in gymnastics.

Let's see...
Sandra Bullock, she ate at my in-laws restaurant. She was so cool.

Lyle Lovett, he used to eat at my in-laws restaurant frequently. Super super nice guy, he remembered everyone's name.

George H.W. Bush, my in-laws restaurant catered a function when his library was opened here in Texas. I served Caroline Kennedy soup that night.

And a celebrity around my house- Colt McCoy, the Texas Longhorns quarterback is a personal friend of my brother-in-laws.
