I met Diana, princess of Wales


and let me tell you, there was chemistry...!

Michael Dukakis (1988 presidential candidate)
Geraldine Ferraro (1984 vice-presidential candidate)
John Anderson (1980 presidential candidate)
Ezer Weizmann (late President of Israel)
Ben Kinchlow (on 700 Club set)
Bruce Babbitt (former Secretary of the Interior under Bill Clinton)
Second Chapter of Acts (Contemporary Christian music group, when it was together)

I got knocked down in the hall at Auburn Univ by Bo Jackson, does that count?

I met Erik Estrada (of Chips fame) at LAX.

He didn't have time for me, he was too good. Apparently he was busy bitching at hi agent about something, i don't know what though.


I also met Mr Belding in Vegas

i met Skully (formely know as Skullator) who is the guitar player of the thrash metal band Hallows Eve

i served Ruth Buzzy a turkey sandwich, and forgot to leave off the tomatoes ( which she explicitly told me she was allergic to )....i had the kitchen staff make her a completely new sandwich.

I once met former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis during their terms as governor of California. Wilson's wife was also nice, they were at a Labor Day function my high school band performed at, and she felt bad for us in our uniforms as it was pretty hot.

I also met Neil Patrick Harris briefly at a restaruant in LA after a group of us went to his last show taping.

I've met:
Various 80's metal band rockers,
Graham Kerr (original galloping gourmet dude),
Actor Fred Willard (appeared in Movie Spinal Tap and TV show Fernwood 2 Nite),
and most of all, the 60's icon group THE TURTLES!

I've met Hilary Clinton. Had my photo of my family taken with her.

My mom met Magic Johnson, well talked to him on the phone and didn't know why he was famous. And thanks to me, she met Bill Clinton. I was doing some tech support, and I got a call, forwarded to my mom at work, and she was on her way. I did see him, and damn it was inspiring. A few years ago, my dad met H Carl McCall, who is now the former New York State comptroller. My dad works for the state, so one week he got screwed over on his paycheck, called his offices, and actually managed to talk with him and correct the problem, and I think meet him. I know my mom worked on his campaign, and I met the Attorney General of New York State, Elliot Spitzer. Nice man.

I'm definitely in the UK.

The most famous person I have ever met and talked to is Douglas Bader.

If everyone says "who?" I'll know I'm getting old, but that's another thread.
We shared a waiting room an Harley Street while I was waiting for an eye operation at the age of 19.

After that, Baroness Shirley Williams, in Cambridge, for a political chat.

More locally, Liza Goddard (actress, presenter) gave me five minutes of TV fame by interviewing me in my garden, which was part of a charity open day, for her series "Liza's country".

I've tested the eyes of John Craven, of "Newsround" fame,
Ian Lavender, "Pike" of Dad's Army,
and Bill Treacher, Eastenders Arthur Fowler.

The only famous person I met was Peter Schickele, the eminent (?) musicologist and scholar of the 22nd of Johann Sebastian Bach's 21 sons, PDQ Bach. He's just as strange in person as he is during his act.

I worked security for a Las Vegas casino about 8 or 9 years ago. I got to be a security escort for a lot of different celebrities. Some of them were Walter Cronkite, Joe Montana, Brian May (guitarist for Queen), and Michael Moore. Also met Ron Jeremy and Erik Estrada at the Billboard Music Awards one year.

I met Jesus once.

Oh wait that was an actor who played Jesus.

Unfortunately I have not had the chance to meet someone famous yet.

I've met John Major (for our friends over the pond he was Prime minister of the UK from 1990-1997). I met him at a charity do for a nature reserve I was volunteering for then.

As a professional musician, I have met and performed with numerous famous people.
