    Norman Reedus when he was here in Adelaide a few years ago for Comic Con, he called me pretty and I nearly died.

    Edited to add Jason Mamoa, he is really nice as well, he rubbed my belly when I was pregnant with my daughter.

    Served Kerri-ann Kennerly when I worked at a golf course resort back in 2007, the Aussies here should know who she is lol.

        I met Royal Wade Kimes at a gem and jewelry show several years ago. He was manning his families' booth called Royal Family Jewels. He had a couple of his first CDs for sale. Although I had never heard of him, or his songs, I bought the CDs, and liked them. I saw him at several subsequent shows until they closed the business. Once I ordered some CDs on the Internet from hiscompany, but had a problem. I called to straighten it out, and he was working the phones. The problem was resolved.

        At the same gem show I saw Loretta Swit at her jewelry booth. But I didn't have any interaction with her.

        I also know Ed Bearss, the reknowned Civil War historian. He was a member of the Civil War Round Table for which I used to write the newsletter.

              Eileen Ivers, after 2 concerts

              Dick Francis, at a book signing.

              In NYC visiting a friend, I went to a Georgia O'Keefe exhibit at the Met. As I entered, a guy was leaving. My brain went "There's someone I know and like," so I made eye contact and smiled. He smiled back, and we passed each other ... it was Jerry Orbach!

              My mother, though, she shook hands with Humphrey Bogart - and FDR knew her by name!

Sightings/ hearings of bill engvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew mcconaughey, and several local newscasters. The newscasters have always been nice. Oh! I did meet Eileen Wilks once. She was rude, but I still like her books lol

                    Ive told this story on the boards before but 21 years ago I was introduced to Kate Bush at a small privare party (attended by Michael Palin as well but i was too scared to talk to him)

                    I've been priveleged to meet my favourite singers over the years, ive met Billy Bragg 3 times and he is a great guy and i finally met my second husband to be, Paul Weller earlier this year and got to kiss him too.

                    The person who i loved meeting the most though who the Americans on here might know was John Waters at a book screening. Hairspray is a film i love sooooo much and it's had a big effect on me over the years so it meant a lot to me (since I've never met anyone involved wih my favourite movie Ghostbusters). I asked John if he would meet me in Baltimore and he said he would see me in London when he found out i wad from there.

                      The queen. From afar though. She visited my workplace (technical university of Berlin). We took a look out of the windows to see them all arrive and leave. It was funny to see how very few people were waiting for her in front of the building. You could apply for an invitation, and you needed one for this place in front of the entrance. There were more people across the street, where the peasants were allowed to watch it from.

                            It is my goal to meet Laura Bailey. Ideally she shows up on my doorstep in nothing but lingerie. Only problem is she's married already.

                              I've met Kevin Nash, Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne, AJ Styles, Wildcat Chris Harris, Ron Simmons, and I helped Air Parris get a job at my local store. All pro wrestlers and great people. I even got to escort Madison around as a personal assistant when she came to a local show to wrestle.

                                Went and saw Penn & Teller last night. Great show!

                                Penn comes out to the lobby for meet and greet after the show and I got to shake his hand and take a picture with him.
