Have you met or know anyone famous?

Jenson Button, Roger Black, Glen Hoddle, David Pleat, The Village People.

Probably the most unusual was Indira Gandhi. We were on a school trip to India and she gave the group of us an audience and had photos taken with us.

met adam faith when he was a patient and went to school with wendy richards from eastenders, i could be really mischevious about her real age!

Hi, let me give you an American spin, in no particular order. (though I did pass Fergie in the toy section of Harrods about 5 years ago)
Met and or/knew a lot of people since I worked the shows and movies for a long time. Worked with Dustin Hoffman (I was prepared to not like him, but he was great) John Malkovich, Steve Lang, Nick Zorich, and Arthur Miller in Death of a Salesman for about five weeks about 22 years ago. Also, hung out with in high school, (and asked out but she turned me down) Amy Maddigan. Met Gina Davis, Meg Ryan, David Hasselhoff, Matt Brodrick, Gene Hackman, Rick Moranis, Bill Murray, The Association, Chad and Jeremy, and lots of others I can't remember. Martin Short asked me for dirrections downtown one day, and I knew who he was and couldn't think of his name(!) Also dated a girl who was best friends (at the time) with Jim Morrison's (of the Doors) sister. Funny thing was that I went to high school with the first cousin of Ray Manzarek of the Doors. Still now very good friends with one of the Chieftains. (actually, supposed to go out with him tonight for a drink)
Oh, also recently met Jimmy Carter, though I've seen all the presidents now living, not counting this present thing we have. Also, worked a detail for Prince Charles when he was in Chicago. Shook hands with Mulrooney from Canada at one time, and a few presidential candidates as well. Oh, and Joan Baez. Actually knew her husband for a bit in California. Long story.
Other than that, not many.

wow, Kilted Yank, you have met loads of REALLY famous people. I think Princess Diana is the most amazing one you've met. Can you tell us more about that please?

This was about mid 1990. She was in the U.S. for some fundraiser or something, at an event at the Mellon auditorium in Washington, DC. I was at the beginning of my career, working for a different agency than I do now, and was one of the armed um... security team that night. We were all briefly introduced, which basically meant that we all got a handshake, a smile and a hello.

I actually was an extra in a movie called seven sundays, it starred molly ringwald and rod steiger (sp). It was a couple short scenes. I also starred in a nickelodeon commerical (in the same week I was an extra in the movie) we were on vacation in sarasota florida when both of these happened. I was only about 12 years old at the time (I'm 23 now).
