Worked at a foofoo shishi spa in NYC in the 90s - gave Ellen degeneres a massage, salt scrubbed Goldie Hawn, saw several others there - Jimmie page, Cheri oteri, sjp. Saw Chris rock walking down 5th ave near rock center. At another spa in another location I massaged that guy who used to play QB for the Vikings - Fran something...? Lol0

Okay, this totally ages me, but I passed a hand written note to Hubert Humphrey when he was running for president in 1967. It was a big deal for me because I had just turned 21 and this was the first time I could vote, and I had worked on his presidential campaign. After all these years I still think he would have made a better president than Richard Nixon!

One more self-dating "celebrity"-- Gloria Steinem. She went to Waite High School school in East Toledo with my aunt, and they were close friends. As a 5-year-old, I remember being in enthralled with my aunt, Gloria, and their cadre of popular girls, and I played dress-up in Gloria's ballet tutus. Unfortunately, with that history, it still took me until my 50s to become a feminist! Totally true story.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.
That is really freaky because that was almost exactly how I met Susan Sarandon. She walked face first into my husband's chest while we were walking up 5th Avenue in NYC. Seriously right into his chest. She wasn't looking at a phone or anything, just walking and not paying any attention to where she was going. She was funny and polite about it, but it was really odd.0 -

In 1980, my political science class at Drake Univ worked at an event that featured Vice President George Bush. The same class worked at an event for astronaut John Glenn.
In 1984, Michael Moore (before he was famous) interviewed me on his radio show in Flint Michigan.
In 1984, my boss was Spencer Abraham, who several years later went on to be U.S. Senator from Michigan.
In 1992, I shared the stage in Las Vegas with Nevada Senator Harry Reid and his primary election challenger, who was named (I swear) "God Almighty." In the election, Reid absolutely crushed God Almighty! LOL
In 2008, I met Cong. Ron Paul in New Orleans.0 -
I took a class on underground comics in college, and Jeph Jacques (creator of Questionable Content), came in to speak, and he signed my first QC book and I got a picture with him. Fangirled over that one for a while.
I met Josh Ruben (from College Humor) at the Woodstock Library Fair a few years back. Got a picture with him too.
I sang onstage with Neil Sedaka at Carnegie Hall many years ago (as part of a children's choir; I'm not that talented).
I kind of met Holly Black (I don't actually read or really know anything about her stuff; a friend of mine dragged me to a book signing because she didn't want to go alone). Cassandra Clare was there too, and I didn't throw anything at her, so I count that as a personal success.
I once had a dream that I ran into Johnny Depp on the street and told him I liked his hat. Does that count?
Otherwise, I think that's pretty much the extent of my encounters with "famous" people. I feel like I'm forgetting something though...0 -
Akeem Olajuwon - he played for the Houston Rockets - his brother and cousin went to my high school and he picked them up a lot
Princess Diana walked through a store I was in when I lived in England in the late 80's
Waylon Jennings - my cousin - was a lot of fun to watch perform. He was a crack up at family reunions. I miss him a lot!!0 -

Outside of concerts, public appearances and sporting events..... Richard Nixon (at an antiwar protest), Nancy Reagan, comedian Alan King, Joe Biden (walked through the capital rotunda when I was there). I drank lemonade with Jane Goodall and took a walk on the beach with her at her house in Tanzania.0
-
Ate breakfast about 10 feet from Quentin Tarantino about 15 years ago. Yes, someone famous actually came to Ohio....ON PURPOSE!
Met Sterling Marlin (NASCAR) about 11 years ago. I was pregnant with my son and he signed my shirt and put his hand on my belly and smiled.
That'll do.0
