I don't know anybody really famous. I knew Bill White until his death a few years ago (The President of the Baseball something or other --- yeah yeah I know!) Can you tell I am not into sprots?

I met Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall, and did a Aids Walk with some major singer, and had no cue who he was until it was over and asked some people why everyone was making such a big deal out of the guy. Forget hs name now, but he was really nice.

I saw a few others in concert... does that count? I was withing sweat-spilling distance of Harry Connick Junior! *swoon*

gosh, I feel old with my list of celebrities!

I never meet famous people lol. Sometimes I see Arnold Scwartzenegger (sp?), because he loves Kelowna and comes here all the time. I'm related to Micheal J. Fox by marriage but I've never met him. I do meet lots of hockey players.

uhh Will Dixon? lol he is a movie director my film teacher is friends with, he came to my class for a visit in grade 10 I think, and his daughter goes to my school.

Do you mean seen as in saw in concert, or have actually spoken to?


I met a few of the guys from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Hulk Hogan, and numerous people in concert.

[green_chameleon_girl]

just Kisha Chante(sp?) I saw her walking around the mall here

[GoldenRetrLuver]

I can't think of any people that *I've* personally met/seen other then at sporting events, concerts, etc.

My dad, however, because of his job, has met quite a few 'famous people', including the host of "Fear Factor" and the owner of Panda Express (Chinese food restaurant).

I've seen a bunch of people in concert. As for actually meeting someone famous, I've met Tom Skerrit before. He was filming in Tucson and would come into the Starbucks I work at every morning.

LUCKY!! *swoons* too!

I met Tom Cruise once, years ago when he was filming a movie near Dallas. What a major disappointment. He was a real jerk!

I've also met John Wayne's son, Patrick. Had lunch with him with my boss. He was nice.

Can't think of any others.

Besides all the Pet Talkers I've met, who would be considered famous here, I have met:

Mike Dukakis (before and after his Presidential bid)
Bill Clinton (got to shake his hand, he was the most sunburned person I've ever seen that day)
George Lucas (got to go to Skywalker Ranch, we have a picture of Paul and I posing with him)
Jesse Jackson
and many authors, including:
Isaac Asimov - (ran into him in a hallway at an SF convention)
Orson Scott Card
Tami Hoag
John Lithgow
Clive Barker
Neil Gaiman

and, the most exciting (I literally jumped up and down with glee after the photo) you have to go to http://KarenWatts.com to see!

When I worked at Children's Hospital as a public relations intern I got to take Al Gore on a tour of the hospital (along with several other people) when he came in to tape commercial for the upcoming telethon. That was back in 1990 when he was still fairly normal.

I saw several country music stars out and about when I lived in Nashville. Probably the most famous was three of the four Alabama guys. They were walking out of Dillards in the mall - kind of weird, no big hoopla or anything. I ran up to one and said "I know who you are" and he just put his finger to his mouth and said "shhh". LOL!

I walked past Ivana Trump in Disney World and didn't realize it till I had past her.

Alex Haley, the author of "Roots" ate in the booth beside me at Shoney's here in Knoxville. I spoke to him as I was leaving, very nice man. He lived here and it was just before he died.

Last year I went to DC and got to take tour of Air Force One and sit in the President's desk chair, does that count for anything?

I know there are more.

[CamCamPup33]

I've seen Kelly Rippa at Disney, and The dad from The fresh prince..... I've seen tons more but those are the only that pop into mind..

You know, at this moment I'm drawing a blank, except for performers I've 'met' in concert... Hmmm, Joan Baez's father is a famous physicist and he guest lectured at my school once. Close enough?

But my mother once briefly was on contract with RKO (a studio which was a rival of Paramount and Universal and the like way back when) for the movie "Clash by Night" with Marilyn Monroe, Barbara Stanwyck and some other stars that aren't so famous now. Mom enjoys talking about what a sweet woman Marilyn was. It was made back in the early 50s. Mom never made it to the big screen, but if you see the movie (and the scene isn't cut) my uncle is the little kid rolling the big tire that gets kicked by one of the male stars early in the show (first 5 minutes?) and my aunt was the little girl on the porch (possibly the same scene, I forget). It looks like she's cuddling a kitten, but it's really a pet rabbit. It's kind of odd for me to see my aunt and uncle as youngsters long before I was born.

Karen, I'd be jumping up and down with excitement, too, had I met him. Congrats!

I have met all the Sheen boys (i worked at the Whitefish mall and they all shopped in my store) M y hubby worked on Emilos house. along with Bruce springsteens manager.
I met Lea Thompson , all the Blue angel fiyers, and John Lithgow whn I work at the airport. Drew Bledsoe had my son deliver the new beds to his ranch and he met the who team (idon't know what team not intop sports either)
Last summer I met Yoko Ohno and her grand daughter they have a place in the park.
Lots of the stars live or have places here becouse they can fly in and out with out alot of fuss.

I'm so jealous TOM SKEERIT he is so sexy!!!!!!!ok I'm old----er
