Although I've never sought to meet any celebs, I have met-
Vivica A. Fox (Actress, producer- Independence Day, Two Can Play That Game, etc...)
Michael Finley (Former Guard for the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs)
Deion Sanders (Former CB For the S.F. 49er's, and the Dallas Cowboys, and a few other inconsequential football teams-
)
Tony Dorsett (Former Dallas Cowboy running back, Hall of Famer)
Anthony Dorsett (Former NFL player)
Drew Pearson (Although I didn't know who I was talking to at the time... Sorry Drew, Former Dallas Cwboys C
Larry Brown (Former Dallas Cowboy and Super Bowl MVP)
Florence Henderson (The Brady Bunch Mom)
Lee Merriwether (Cat Woman (Bat Man) )
Clarence Carter (Blues Singer)
Michael Cooper (Lead Singer for ConFunkShun, and former solo artist)
I was "this" close to Jimmy Carter when he was the President, but didn't get to shake his hand- all the adults crowded me out- I was 7 then.)
So, have you met any famous people? Inquiring Hersh would like to know...

Princess Diana at the 1994 London Motor show near the Mercedes SL. It was only a short time later she bought one and it was a huge thing in the newspapers "oh she bought german, how could she do that, why can't she buy a british car bla bla bla".
Stood in line with Mick Jagger at the newsagent in Terminal 1 of Heathrow.
Lots and lots of victoria's secret models. I worked in the building on 7th avenue where they had their office or studio. Often sharing an elevator with smoking hot models. They never invited me up to join a shoot ... bastards!
The Pope when he came to tour Munich.
What does Spared mean ?

Dude's probably 70 and still could kick the crap out of anyone on this forum. Great for jokes, too.

Sparred. Close enough. What else would you do with Chuck Norris? Assuming you're crazy enough to try! Dude's probably 70 and still could kick the crap out of anyone on this forum. Great for jokes, too.

Oh yeah, I met Mark Curry too (Hangin' w/Mr. Cooper) when I was in Oakland back in 2006.
Dude is about 6'4"- taller than I thought. (OK, IMDB says he's 6'6"- well, he's tall http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193104/bio )
--------------------
Oh yeah, and I did get to hang out for a full day with 12 of the 24 Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders in Dec. 1994 when they came to Uijongbu, South Korea for their USO Tour. I was one of their escorts. The WHOLE day. 8 hours. It was kinda cold that day, so they had the spandex suits on, rather than the normal short-shorts, but the view was still-wonderful... Met Jill Marie Jones http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428382/ . She was one of the cheerleaders, now she's an actress (TV: Girlfriends, Movie: Redrum, etc...)
But Vivica is far more beautiful in person, than she is on TV and in the movies.... You know how you hear people say "the pictres don't do a person justice" ? That is very true in her case... My God...
