What famous people have you met? (Page 7)

I was an event manager at a University for 9 years so here's highlighted short list:

Della Reese - awesome lady!
Henry Winkler - aka "The Fonze"
Carrot Top - all I can say about him is he is odd
Mary Wilson - from the Supremes
the following bands: Fuel, Tonic, Verve Pipe, Chubby Checker (I have many stories about him), Ziggy Marley (also many stories),
Jackie Joyner Kersey - incredible lady

Off the top of my head:

Carl Lewis
Ricky Williams
Ernie Banks
Richie Hawtin(and a ton of other DJs, not sure if they qualify as famous in this crowd so I won't list them all)
a couple people from the 'Farscape' cast
I saw Claire Danes when I was in LA a few years back, but didn't want to bother her so I never 'met' her

I'm still waiting to meet the uber-famous Comet at one of these Dallas-area events, but I can never get past her security detail....stupid velvet rope.

When I was in college (San Diego State University), I used to work for the catering people that fed the acts when they performed in the arena at the school. I usually made the food and the other people served it, but I asked to get to serve Jethro Tull because I was a huge fan of Ian Anderson...I am a flute player (it was my major)...so I got to serve the band and he wasn't very nice. I didn't even talk to him, I just observed his behavior from the food table. I haven't really listened to Tull since.

I also had a roommate that grew up in Malibu. I have been up there to see here over the years and every time I go there, we run into someone famous...Louis Gosset Jr. was in the line at the grocery store behind us (his son kept asking if he could buy ice cream), That tall skinny guy from Home Alone and City Slickers lives down the street from her and he offered to give us a ride to the grocery store one day. There were stars everywhere, but you could never say anything to any of them because is it just not done in Malibu.

Oh...I met Willie Nelson at a big truck convention several years ago.

Other than that, we really don't have any famous people near my wee little town in GA.
