Answer 2

John Popper from Blues Traveler came into the book store that I was working at the time. Very polite and relaxed. No attitude at all.
Jimmy Carter back in the seventies at the White House.
Paul and Linda McCartney in NY
Mariah Carey when she first came out at a cd signing
Viggo Mortensen at a book signing, really sweet guy
Bob Denver (Gilligan)

Answer 3

I met Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Bill Murray, Steve Irwin, Bob Backlund, Jon Cougar Mellancamp, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Bennett, Neve Campbell- who I LOVE!, Cher, Joan Rivers, Mellissa Rivers, Carrot Top and Meat Loaf.

I also met Jeff Gordan, but he was a total jerk to me!

Answer 4

Yes, met all members of Alice in Chains, George Lynch, the Ramones, Suicidal Tendancies, Adam Ant, members of Slaughter, Extreme, some others. I know I'm kind of dating myself- was a rocker gal back in the day! More recently, Jamie Lee Curtis at a booksigning.

Answer 5

Woody Harrelson.

He came into a shop that I was working at after we were closed. When I saw him walking in I said, "what are you doing here?" I didn't recognize him yet and I genuinely meant - what are you doing here? He thought I was asking him what he was doing in town. He answered, "its mother's day... I came to see my mother. I need to use the payphone." I thought, what a weird guy.

I then realized as he was making his call that it was Woody Harrelson. I ran up to my boss in the back and exclaimed, "Woody Harrelson is on the payphone!" (Neither of us realized that he was raised in the town we lived in at the time.) He went up front, and listened to the man talking on the phone, and agreed that yes, it was Woody Harrelson. My boss then walked back to the back.

I continued cleaning at the front counter and when he was done on the phone, he walked over. "So you have a long day making pizzas?" The only response I could really think of at the time was - "We're closed." He was then very apologetic and abruptly turned and walked out the door. Oops!

Answer 6

I've met Montell Williams(shopping with the ex-stripper wife); he's very personable and not at all stuck up. I also met Joan Lunden...she was pleasant...not overly friendly but not rude either. I met Mike Wallace on Park Avenue...I literally ran right into him and HE apologized!! Very nice!! I met Kathy Lee Gifford when she was still on Regis and Kathy. She's really, really friendly, down-to-earth and has well behaved kids! Finally, I met Harry Connick Jr. and his model/wife Jill Goodacre. They weren't so cool and were dressed like bums.

Answer 7

I partied with Suicidal Tendencies when I was 16 and I met Metallica backstage when I was 17. I'm 35 now. You do the math. I met Clint Black a few years ago. And my cousin, Brenda, was George Strait's waitress this summer.

Answer 8

I never got to MEET her, but once when heading to visit my sister in Malibu we were stopped at a gas station and I saw Brittney Spears (with bad hair extentions) get out of a huge SUV and walk into the convenience store with a friend and walk out with cigarettes and pills. . .saying something about letting 'Adam' drive and stumbling back into the SUV.

Our car left at about the same time as theirs and we could see her light up in the window.
It was unmistakably her, my niece even went into the store behind her and said Brittney's friend was motioning toward her with her eyes.

All we could think was;
-Doesn't she have a baby at home?
and
-why didn't we get the camera ready? (for an easy $10k).

Answer 9

I've met Wayne Gretzky, I used to work with his dad. And I met Moe Howard of the Three Stooges. Strange combination, eh?

Answer 10

Yes Jean Reno(several times) here in Belgium and Simon Crane super stuntman -Director)who is a good friend of me.
If it are friends you don't see them as a personality but just as a human and Simon he's very nice.
