Re: The most famous people you've ever met

When I was in high school, my class visited Mt. Vernon.  King Hussein of Jordan was there that day and I elbowed my way up to him, talked to him and got his autograph.  Can you imagine being able to do that to a visiting head of state nowdays?

 

I also ran across Steven Tyler of Aerosmith while eating at a restaurant in Aspen, Colorado.  The way the tables were arranged, I was facing him and he was just an arm's length away.  My cousin, with whom I was eating, had to explain who he was.  It was obvious he was an entertainer but he was very nice and accommodating to everyone.

Not the most famous I've ever met but I was at a party once with Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother). He is so cute. Looks just like he does on TV; beautiful brown eyes!

Our poster @Aussielover  related a story where she met and chatted with Prince Phillip.  Sounded like he was flirting with her.  Maybe she'll respond and repeat the story.

I was on an airplane with Morgan Fairchild.

I stayed in the same hotel that Paul McCartney's family was staying. I didn't see Paul, but I rode in the elevator with his son James.

I sold Mac makeup to Carrot Top. He is an NW20 & used Espresso eye shadow to line his eyes. LOL

Re: The most famous people you've ever met

I have posted this before but our family has met a lot of

NASCAR drivers.

 

In 2013 we met Jimmie Johnson and have photos with him

and also several years at his meet and greets we have met

Brad Keselowski. Also a few more at the races we have 

attended, would have to check with my kids can't remember

some of them, not as famous as these two.
