Yes, I have met several. Having grown up in Los Angeles, they are everywhere. Most of them I met while I worked at Blockbuster Video in Encino, CA. I also met all the guys in Cheap Trick after a concert not once, but twice! We got autographs and pictures with them. I even have a picture of Robin Zander kissing me on the cheek. *swoon*

Yes...they are usually wearing hospital gowns, or visiting sick family/friends. My Dad met many, many famous people when he was a travel writer. His all-time favorite was meeting and talking with his baseball hero Ted Williams.

Never met anyone famous... but I'm related to someone notorious. The guy who plotted to kidnap David Letterman's son, is my dad's cousin Kenny.

If you count professional football, hockey, or baseball players as famous I have met a bunch. In the wrestling world I have met a bunch also, Hulk Hogan, Rick Flair, Da Crusher, well I've met just a ton of them. I've met Mick Jagger, for a matter of about 10 seconds, long enough to say Hi and him to just turn and walk away. Also the performer formally known as Prince, along with Josh Hartnett.

If getting autographs qualifies as having met someone famous: Robert Redford (he was in Buffalo, NY filming The Natural and I was in the stands as a fan. He signed exactly 3 autographs...and I got one because I had a baseball for him to sign!), and Robert Duvall who was in the same movie. I've also "met" Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly at an autograph session. That's it...nobody famous ever comes to Batavia NY (other than Steve Martin and John Candy when they filmed parts of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles here - but I didn't see them).

oops, i forgot a biggie. when my son's father and son and i were traveling from dallas to boston, we flew with the dallas mavericks. derek harper took my then 3-month-old son into first class and all the guys loved on him because they missed their own kids. ds stayed with derek and the team for a good hour or two while i caught a much-needed nap. then they all autographed a paper for him, which i have in his baby book.
