    I met Jerry Mathers ("The Beaver") when I was little - I thought that was pretty cool!

    I'm a country music girl...I've met the guys from Rascal Flatts more times than I can count this late at night, Jason Aldean, and Keith Anderson.

    Johnny Depp twice. He was in town filming a movie. He was really nice to EVERYONE. He's shorter than I expected and he also has small and extremely soft hands.

    I saw Fergie in NYC. My aunt talked to her but I didn't.

    Too many to count, I worked in professional wrestling for 10 years with WCW/WWF(E)/TNA.

    It's not anything to write home about, they're just people too.

    Will Smith is probably the nicest and most genuine human being I have met that was an icon. I did security for an event he and his family was at and he cared very much about keeping his kids out of the attention and was just a really cool dude.

    I do security so I have come across a few.

    The best are usually those smart media types where they were semi popular but big businessmen and women who you recognize but aren't like oh hey that is so and so.

    Alan Rickman - waited for him after a play in London and talked for a short time.
    Derek Jacobi, Peter O'Toole, Sir Ian MacKellan (Gandalf), Maria Friedman who took me to her dressing room for a chat, I was a teen at the time. Tom Baker (4th Doctor Who) and a lot of other Dr Who cast members, Rene Auberjonais (Odo In ST DS9). Can't remember the others, but have met a fair few as I lived in London and worked in theatre for a short time.

    I've met so many it's hard to remember them all. I've met members from pretty much all popular Christian bands in the past 7 years. I feel like that's it though. I've been in the theater with Keith Urban and Nichole Kidman, and they went to see "The Town" the same time I did, but I felt like leaving them alone was appropriate. I usually forget the people that are famous I meet. It's lost any importance to me now, they're just people with more money than I ;)

    I met the dad off of "Wonder Years" when I was doing some extra work one day a while back. Not sure his name, but I loved that show growing up, and told him that I loved it. Haha, it gave actual perspective of real families. Oh and I met Bif Naked.. singer in Vancouver, BC.
