Barry Switzer, former coach of the Oklahoma Sooners.

Met him in the Bahamas in the Customs line at the airport. This was many years ago and he was the current coach of the Sooners. He has a habit of rattling change in his pants pockets. He signed autographs for my GF’s.

Lynda Bird Johnson! I was 18 and worked at B of A near LAX (it's now a postal center).

I was a teller, she was in my line (had separate lines in the old days, 1966) and two suit-clad, serious guys were on either side of her.

All she wanted was to break a $20 into small bills. I recognized her right away. When done I asked "i think you look exactly like Lynda Bird Johnson". She gave a big smile and said "thank you."

She was SO much prettier in person than in photos and was very nice with a beautiful smile.

Talked to Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Bobby Kennedy & I saw Kid Rock & Pamela Anderson at a flea market, I just waved & left them alone. I also was inches from all the Beatles & touched my favorite Paul as he was getting into the limo & he smiled at me! & my friend touched her favorite John...we giggled about it all the way home from Indianapolis.

YEARS (eons) ago when I was about 11, we went to Knott's Berry Farm and standing nearby was John Wayne and one of his sons.

My mom was so thrilled to meet him and got his autograph on the back of a prescription & had to have the doctor give her a new Rx so she could keep the autograph.

I only remember him as being very tall and friendly.

Bill Clinton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Alton Brown, the Dugger family. Met them all at the Barnes & Noble where I worked for sixteen years. They were all doing book signings. It's funny when you have a preconceived idea about a public figure, and then meet them, how different (or not) your idea is. Most are very nice. It was wild when Clinton came. Secret Service, bomb sniffing dogs. It was quite a day!

Robert Redford

John Saxon

Raymond Burr

I was in elementary school when I met Raymond Burr. He was so nice to a little girl. I met John Saxon when I was in high school. He was nice too, signed an autograph and talked awhile.

I met Robert Redford just briefly. My husband interviewed him for a radio show.

@threecees It was while Kirk Cameron was on Growning Pains that I met him. I was at a classic car show in Philly and they used to have stands with various stars. You could shake their hand, take a pic, say hello, whatever. He was just a kid at the time -- so cute, though. Oh, I just remembered that I met Lou Ferigno there too. hahahaha

That's where I met Hulk Hogan and John Travolta as well. JT was on Welcome Back Kotter at the time as Vinny Barbarino. Not really a big star yet.

I met David Cassidy at a book signing. I bought a copy of his book "Come on, Get Happy."

Was it at a race that you met Jimmie Johnson? I've been to races at Dover and Pocono, but never met any of the drivers.
