Harrison Ford: Just a random passing on the street. He is not as dashing in real life as on the screen.
Mike Farrell (B.J. Hunnicutt from M*A*S*H) I cooked his Quarter Pounder with Cheese, NO ONIONS, when I worked at McD's during High School. His kids were with him. I think it was during his divorce. He was an unhappy man. Very, Very tall! He signed his grill ticket for me. Later on, some Grape flavored Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum melted on that grill ticket. I was always sad about that.
Pearl Bailey: I met her during my Freshman year of college (1980) at a hotel in Washington DC. We were staying at the same hotel. I met her twice there. The first time was out front of the hotel. She was eating pistachios. Cracking the shells with her teeth! Ouch! The second time I rode the elevator with her. She had just received a dz long stemmed red roses. She asked me if I liked them and if I would like to smell them. I obliged. The didn't smell all that great but they were very pretty and I said so. Nice lady.
Gerald Ford. (U.S. President) This was during Jr. High. I saw him at a speaking engagement. Not very close, but I saw him. I think I was in 7th grade at the time. I was not all the thrilled, either. I would have been more impressed with meeting his son. He was cute!0 -
Most of these came from when I was a student at NMU.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer
Mo Rocca
Comedian Mike Birbiglia

Bill Clinton/Al Gore - political rallies
Jake Gyllenhaal - political rally
Rachael Ray - she spoke at a mall here
Damian Miller - former catcher for DBacks, from my hometown
Robin Yount - former Brewer. Saw him at a hockey game
Although I haven't met him The Big Unit sent me a DM to tell me he likes my photography.
Too many NHL players to count. Ray Emery and Wade Belak were two of my favorites. Super nice guys.
So many bands and band members. Gabe from Midtown/Cobra Starship, Pete Wentz from Fallout Boy, The All American Rejects, Kris Roe from the Ataris, Sugarcult, The Casualties, Plain White T's. I could go on.
Alice Cooper is always at the hockey games and John McCain is there quite a bit. Vince Vaughn has been at a few as well. Rumor has it Charles Barkley attends as well but I've yet to see him.
I just missed Prince at the Mnpls airport. I went to the bathroom, came out and my mom was freaking out. She said he was tinier in real life.
I can't think of anyone else right now.0 -

I think the most random was Susan Sarandon (sp?)
She just walked in front of traffic here in Beverly Hills. Was almost hit, and then stopped to wave and smile when the stopped cars began to honk. It was almost like she was waving to her admiring public, without a clue that people were just angry that a lady was blocking the road. Super weird.
Was also recently heckled by Johnny Knoxville while doing my workout. He's actually super nice.
Aziz Ansari was in front of me getting coffee, and I was excited and said "It's AZIZ!" to my co-worker. He was gracious and said hello to me. I was a little embarrassed to have fangirled so hard.
There have been a ton of others, but these are the freshest in my mind0 -
I met the lead singer of Ashborne, lol0
-
Impressive!!Unless you are into opera these names will mean nothing lol but they are super famous in the opera world: Jonas Kauffman, Placido Domingo, Rene Pape, Kiri Te Kanawa. Domingo is an idol and I seriously lost my ****.0 -

I'd have done the same thing :laugh: I love that guy0 -
Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, and the rest of Fleetwood Mac's lineup in 1970. My teenage sister went to a rock festival in Rockingham NC, and we saw these guys in the hotel swimming pool. Also saw the band 3 Dog Night, Country Joe & the Fish, and several others there. I was 12 years old at the time, and while into rock and roll, didn't understand why my sister was going crazy. This was one of the last big, three days festivals of the hippy era. While I didn't go to the show, Rockingham is a small place. You could hear the music from anywhere in town.0

I shared an elevator with Trevor Pryce and Rahim Abdullah while I was at Clemson for a summer session. Holy **** those guys were huge.0
-
Joe Biden - I went to a rally he did at a local high school and he called me up front at the end because I was wearing my "power vest" with lots of political buttons and patches. I told him to stop letting Obama send drones to kill people and he was shocked. (I was 15...)
Danica Patrick - She offered to sign my shirt when I was the only girl in a group of guys at the local race track. I was wearing one of her merch tees. She was really nice, but way taller than I imagined.
I'm also 99.9% sure that I saw Pete Wentz at a gas station once, but no one believes me. Grr!0 -
Van Morrison would be the most famous - i was chatting to him at a bar, but moved on when he offered to buy me a drink. I thought he was just a friendly little old irish man until my mate pointed out who he was. Nevermind, I saved him a couple of quid.0

Errr... James Cosmo (Lord Commander of the Nights Watch) and Robery Llewyn (sp?) are all that come to mind. Oh, and I've seen Sir Alan Sugar on the M25 a few times :P0

When I was maybe 3 yo I met Mr. Rogers.
He came to speak at the college where my dad was dean (or maybe president, I don't know), and Dad asked if he could have me come in to meet Mr. Rogers (in Dad's office). Of course he said yes.
My parents teased me for decades that it was the only time they'd seen me speechless.0 -
