    When I lived in San Francisco I used to ride my bike by Robin Williams' house. Would occasionally see him out in his yard.

    I live in So Cal. Everyone famous lives here it seems LOL

    When was a ababy my mom ran into Henry Winkler (The Fonz) at the post office. She asked him for an autograph and all she had to write upon was a picture of me. So he wrote on the back of the picture: Dear Jamie, I hope you have a nice life. Love, Henry Winkler. This cracks me up!

    That is soooooooo adorable of him!!! What a great story :)

    There's a few soap 'stars' (Corrie and Emmerdale) living in and around my town, they even shop where I work. Trouble is I don't watch soaps so I never recognise them!:laugh:

    I live near the author Stephen King. See him and/or his wife Tabitha around town every so often.


    So jealous, my favorite authour - would definitely try to get an autograph.
    Live in NYC so see famous people every once in a while: Brittany Spears, Jennifer Garner. My hubby used to drive for a limo company and he drove Harry Belafonte and Tyra Banks. HB was very nice - Tyra did not speak to him & no tip.

    This is true! Kid Rock is always in Clarkston at the bars and there are many Pistons sprinkled around me! Chauncey still has a house across from my friend! The ONE PERSON I DREAM to bump into is Marshall Mathers =) I am his #1 fan lol

    I grew up and went to school(Nazareth, PA) with Michael Andretti, had Geometry class with him, we had mutual friends and I got to go to his house a couple times. I bagged Mrs. Andretti's groceries and helped her to load the car monthly. Mario came in to the local pubs with the fam after coming home from races. Very down to earth people.

    I once had papers to serve to Larry Holmes when he was the Heavyweight Champ ..... it was regarding playing music in one of his clubs and not paying royalties. I never could serve them b/c it had to be done in person and you don't get to be face to face with a person like that.

    Now I live in FL and George Steinbrenner's horse farm is across town. Rest In Peace, George.

    Jim Davis, the Garfield cartoonist, lived about 2 miles from me and I saw him quite often. He even hired me one time to play music for his staff Christmas party. Super, super nice guy.

    Although John Mellencamp doesn't LIVE in Indy, he's here very often and I've run into him a couple of times. First time I met him I was SHOCKED....he's really short!
