Most famous person you have met?

In 1986 I went on a group trip to Australia to see Halley's Comet so I spent some time with Sir Patrick Moore a great man.
 
Glen Campbell - really nice guy (I was a kid and he was very kind to me)
 
Jerry Bruckheimer. He was in Darlington filming Days of Thunder in the late 80's and came to the mall in Florence. I was working in JC Penney and sold him some t-shirts.

During the same time Randy Quaid was in the club we always went to. I didn't meet him because there was a crowd of hangers on around him.

Have you watched the new documentary "Glen Campbell:I'll Be Me? It is very good and touching story of how Alzheimer's has affected him. He comes across as a nice, funny person in the film. It is so sad to watch what Alzheimer's does to a person. He and his family were very brave to allow this look into their life.

- Big Time Rush (3 times)
- Chris Colfer (book signing in 2012)
 
Alan Rickman, Daniel Radcliffe and Jim Parsons. I've also got an amazing autograph collection, but most of those people I didn't get to actually talk to/shake hands with/hug. (Yes, I hugged Alan Rickman)
The trick is to go to lots of Broadway plays and wait at the stage door after the performance. Also, many of the restaurants near theaters.
 
I went to middle school with (the now deceased) James "The Rev" Sullivan from the band Avenged Sevenfold. We were in a lot of the same classes.

Ben Mize, who was the drummer for Counting Crows for a few years, is the son of my IL's neighbors. I met him at a get together at their house.
 
I shook hands with Bill Clinton. I think he qualifies as the most famous.
 
Dh worked with a lot of celebrities when we lived in LA. He met far more than I did, but I did meet some of them at parties or events.
 
I met George H.W. Bush (41) several times. Nicest man on the planet, truly. My favorite part though was having to work with Secret Service when he was coming for a visit.

I've also met Oscar de la Hoya (former boxer) and Andrew Luck (quarterback for the Colts and son of Oliver Luck who just happened to be my boss at one point).

In the "soccer world" I met a lot of "famous" ones, David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Ronaldinho, Rafa Marquez, Kaka, etc.

:cool1:

AHH YES, the theay-tor ;) I've had my fair share of Stagedoor experiences. Mainly, Newsies 12 times. LMAO! Broadway Flea Market works well for this, too. And I feel sad that I never got to meet Daniel at Cripple or even H2$.
 
Bob Hope - ran into him at a shopping mall in Palm Springs
 
Not to many that I would consider meeting (as in talking to) but a couple:

Tony Kanaan (race car driver)
Dario Franchitti (race car driver)
James Worthy (former Laker)
All three of those were through my work.

Also met Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz and some extra vampires when they used to film Buffy the Vampire Slayer in my neighborhood. Both were really nice, never met Sarah Michelle Gellar because she wouldn't socialize (she was actually pretty rude to people).

A couple brushes with Elton John, once after Million Dollar Piano where he gave me and DD a high five and then came over and shook my DS's hand and another time when he signed our concert program during a concert.

Saw Michael J. Fox in a sporting area club(didn't speak with him though) and also a few of the Kings players after the game.

Walked past (and almost bumped into) Patricia Heaton coming out of the Grand Californian gift shop after she narrated the Candlelight Processional at Disneyland.
 
The most famous would be Barbara Bush. I've also met The Pointer Sisters and Bryan Adams. I met Michael O'Leary who played Rick Bauer on Guiding Light.
 
A couple of years back I attended a party in LA with a good friend and we spoke to Kenny Chesney and Trace Adkins. Surreal.
