Most Famous Person That You Saw in Public? Where was it?

I was listening to a local radio channel today and they where talking about the above topic. So the question is: Who is the most famous person that you ran into in public? Where was it?

I was once in Ft Wayne, IN and was checking out of the Marriott. At the front desk standing next to me was James Taylor (singer). He was faxing something. He did say hi.

I actually met Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers when I helped to do security at a local center in Halifax back about 20 years ago...that was awesome and way back when I was 17 I met Bobby Curtola who did the battle of the bands here locally and he sang to me...Everyone knows the band April Wine from Halifax they were on stage at the same time as Bobby Curtola and I also met them when they first started out as a band...I was very lucky.I worked in the city as well when I was 22 years old I also met Ian Tyson hes a singer few ppl remember ...thanks

Okay this is an exercise in name dropping eh? LOL I went to high school with Adam Sandler. He was a year ahead of me but very popular and everyone knew him. I went to college with Melissa Rivers and saw Joan Rivers at a football game. My one trip to LA back in 1990 I was in LAX and practically walked into Alec Baldwin who was coming into the airport. I kind of followed him up to the the airport shop and sure enough he was on my flight from LA to Chicago albeit in first class.

Some sightings, some meetings:

Al Jolson at a Dairy Queen in Wisconsin, Marcel Marceau at Gatwick … hmmm … who else .. oh yeah, Bobby Hull in an elevator and later that same year in a car on the TransCanada west of Winnipeg.
And I won't mention that Rush played our high school several times when they were starting out.

When I was younger I lived in Los Angeles and worked in and around Hollywood, including having a small involvement in films being made. So, there have been quite a few well known people I've met working and by coincidence.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I guess these famous people do have to go out. Also great to see a band prior to stardom.

Yes , some of us work in industries where we will encounter famous people. The question is did they treat you as an equal?

I was on a business lunch in St Louis a couple years ago and John O'Hurley (Peterman from Seinfeld ) was having a meeting in the same restaurant. He was in a private room with about 6 people.

Before Harry Potter was made into movies, I saw Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) at Heathrow airport - must have been nearly 20 years ago.

Pretty cool. Is he a pretty big person in real life?

Yeah, seemingly he's over 6ft and was quite well built at the time so he did stand out. If I remember correctly, he was heading towards the VIP lounge and people were pretty much leaving him alone - quite correctly.

That might be different these days with his new fan-base.
