Have you HONESTLY ever got up close and personal (met) a celebrity?

Yes, plenty of times but honestly I'm probably forgetting some of them. I live in Southern California and I was in the entertainment field for awhile so I ran into a few. Various people I can think of: Lorenzo Lamas, Sam Kinison at a show in LA before he died, Depeche Mode (a few of the band but not Dave Gahan unfortunately), William Shatner, Pauly Shore (when he was sorta famous), Shannen Doherty, Tommy Lee & Pamela (saw them but not spoke to them at a party). I went to the 1996 presidential debate and was on the stage and met the Clintons, the Doles, various political folks and oh...Gerald Ford. Not exactly celebrities though, huh?

My husband is good at spotting out in public them I'm always oblivious. We ran into Tommy Lee Jones and Larry King at Legoland (two separate incidents). I saw Reese Witherspoon with her kids at Disneyland plus a bunch of other people from TV shows I don't watch but my husband does. He always goes up and chats with them but I always figure they don't want to be bothered but they are always pretty nice.

Oh - just thought of another - I took care of a couple and their new baby a few months back, turns out the dad was named Bill Goldberg and he's a famous wrestler and in movies. I'd never heard of him at that time. We've also had a few porn stars, baseball players and football player's wives at our hospital having babies.

Sargent Shriver, Moe Udall, Ted Kennedy, Caroline, Courtney,

Tip O'Neill, Mike Dukakis, Paul Tsongas, Broderick Crawford, Pat Paulson, Bozo the Clown and Clarabel. Not Hollywood...but celebrities in their own right.

I've met a few...

Charlie Daniels... A real down home country boy, Great Guy. Got his autographed picture on my wall.

David Copperfield... A stuck up jerk. Didn't want his autograph after I met him.

Stephanie Powers (aka "Mrs. Hart") Great lady, lotsa smiles and laughing. Got her autograph.

Robert Wagner (aka "Mr. Hart") A little "stiff" but still a nice guy. Got his autograph at the same time I got Stephanie's.

Barry Williams (aka "Greg Brady") Nice guy. I was busy working, didn't have time to get his autograph.

Boomer Esiason (Ex-Pro Football-Bengals) Got his autograph. Another nice guy.

James Doohan (aka "Mr. Scott") An EXTREMELY nice fellow. Very warm and friendly. It was a shame when he passed.

Nick Clooney & George Clooney.. Met them at a fundreaiser. Got both autographs.

I met and handshake with Kristin Alfonso (Hope from Days of Our Lives) She is shorter than I thought. I'm 5'4 and she's shorter than me. She's probably just 5'2 or 5'3. In the TV, she looks taller than that.

I got her autograph on her pictures. I still have it. This is my 1st time I ever had an up close to a celebrity.

I met Debby Ryan once I gained a contest to work out her, I additionally met Anna Popplewell as quickly as I went into North London Collegiate for a try day. I observed Johnny Depp at a best too.

Sylvester Stallone. I met him and Carl Weathers ( Appolla Creed) at a Wayne Newton show in Las Vegas. It was before the show started. They were real nice and gave everybody that wanted one a autograph. I also met the band 38 special twice...Very Cool!

I met Jonathan Frid/Barnabas Collins of the old show Dark Shadows in the street of my city.He was at some kind of news studio promoting the show,in the 60's.

Yes, but is was South African celebs, so i dint know if that counts? I went to a party and there they where, Akkedis & DJ Ice. Long after the party in morning ours it was just us left with my husband & 2 other friends, so we sat around talking stuff, exchanging email addresses and so forth, but i never heard from them again. Could have guessed that.

I walked right into jack Black at the making of his movie School of Rock. It was weird. He was just walking with two other people to a car in the parking lot. I came around the corner and he just said "hi". That was it.
