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!

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.

Arnold Schwartzenegger came to speak at my college, and I was really close to the podium. But I didn't get to talk to him or anything because some idiot threw an egg in his face!

yeah. i've seen many celebrities in my lifetime after going to carols in the domain, and me being from australia. even david hasselhoff attended (last year when i went with a guy friend of mine), and other things like concerts, one of which was aaron carter. my younger sister got to go up to him as she was getting him to sign the cd she bought of aaron carter. that was rather funny for her because he went to kiss her on the cheek and just before he could, she walked away. at the end of last month, when my grandparents were leaving for portugal, i saw the lead singer of 'jet'. i didnt really get a chance to meet him because al i could do was stare in amazement. funny thing was i saw him twice at the airport. once when i was eating - he was over at mcdonald's in the airport, and i saw him a second time going into the same terminal as my grandparents. he noticed my sisters and i staring and waved at us. it was really cool. just to know that he noticed me makes it cool. and one time my sisters and i went to fox studios because Levi from Australian Idol was going to be there. i got to meet him, and he got to sign my shirt and i got to be in a photo with him and my sisters. Because i was there, i got to meet james matheson, host of australian idol and who's on channel 'v'. he was funny. and i got to meet personally as i was standing around Bek, also from Australian Idol and who was my mum's favourite. she talked to me like she was my friend and offered to buy me chewing gum as she was on her way to the store to get some anyway. she also signed my shirt and put a smiley face on it. i got really excited, and i really wanted a picture with her, but my older sister told me that there was no more film in the camera to take a picture. just the thought of me getting to meet her and not my sisters made me very pleased.



oh yeah. a couple of weeks ago my friend took me out to this place in annandale where we saw really cool bands playing. one of the guys in the band 'mortality', the newest member though, is friends with my best friend. other bands who performed there that i saw were scarblind and 1 shot kill. getting to meet the guy from mortality was really cool, and i got to say bye to him when he was leaving. i would have bn noticed by scarblind because i was constantly trying to get pictures on my phone of them. i got in a couple of good shots. the girl i made really good friends with is in a band herself. i didnt really get a chance to ask her the name of the band, but she did mention about her adventures touring the world, including the u.s. she would be the closest i've been to a celebrity, and i even got in a good picture of her in my phone. she told me her name, but i seemed to have forgotten it. not surprising because over the entire night i kept forgetting her name. she was very cool. didnt really like the girl she was with though. but yeah. it is quite difficult when you dont live in a country and area filled with celebrities. my good friend harry, the one i went to carols in the domain last year with, he gets to see a lot of famous people in politics. his friend who's father is president of the ALP, i got to meet and really like, and best thing about it is that he likes me. he even kissed me, which was awesome. his family gets mentioned all the time and are also related to anthony mundine (they're cousins), and the guy plays pro football in australia. i see him more as a friend, and i think he sees me more as a good friend, and we get along really well. would be really cool if i could meet his family.
