The most famous person I ever met was Terry Bradshaw - back in his hay day around 1980 (and married to JoJo Starbuck). He was playing in a celeb/charity golf tournament in southeast Texas and I worked for a company that was sponsoring it, so I was one of the drivers. I pulled his name, so I drove him from the airport to the hotel and back, the hotel and the golf course and back daily. But, he asked if I wanted to drive the golf cart for the weekend and I jumped at the chance. I would meet he and his teammate (for the tournament) every morning at the hotel and he would invite me to eat with them and buy my breakfast. He was a perfect gentleman and still just as funny as he is now! Thanks for the question and the opportunity to look back at this. Hadn’t really thought about it in years.

The most famous person I ever met was Grace Kelly at a reception in Monaco about a year before she died. What a lovely gracious woman. I was fascinated by the film stars of that era and it was wonderful to have a few words with her. Have sat near Elton John and a few times since we seem to like the same restaurant in Nice (La Petite Maison) but haven’t spoken to him. He always looks a bit peeved if he isn’t the focus of attention.

Jaclyn Smith, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope. 1. some 20 years ago I met Jaclyn Smith at a party with her kids. I told her she was my favorite and she and her kids actually posed for me to take pictures of them. No, I never sold them because I just loved her and she was being so kind to me. 2. Lucille Ball when I asked her for her autograph I asked her if she minded me asking her for it. She replied “Honey, the day you stop asking for it is the day I’ll be mad.” 3. Bob Hope one day some 15 or 20 years ago he came through my checkstand when I was a checker with his friends. He asked me if I was the one his cook used to tell him about that would help him get through the lines and get the stuff he needed quickly. after answering him, he gave me and my husband passes to the U.S.Open and a name badge so we could get into the club and have drinks of him. Over the years I have met many celebs and they have all been wonderful! Movie people with all their money are the most down to earth people ever and grounded.

I once had the rare opportunity to speak with the late Menachem Begin. I asked him how he knew what his people wanted? He said that once a month he would take a cab ride and listen to what the cabbie had to say and that was how he would know what was on his peoples minds. He said Cabbies heard it all. He was one of the most wisest and wonderful people I have ever met.

Just absolutely far to many to mention!!!

Smokey Robinson came to a breakfast meeting for my department years ago when I worked at Chrysler.

Well, I did once shake Jesse Jackson’s hand and ask him if he was going to run for president again. He avoided the question. This was at a state Democratic convention some years ago.. but I did find it exciting.

I have met 7 famous people in my life,none of whom would have remembered me or the countless others they met and signed autographs for. To pick one of them I would have to say Jackie Robinson because of the circumstances. I was only 13 at the time,a student at PS 109 in Queens Village N.Y.,my class was the 7th grade creative writing class,the teacher was Mrs Leathe Hemachandra who made the meeting of Jackie Robinson possible. One day she announced she was taking us on a bus trip to her home in St.Albans N.Y.,upon arriving there she took us across the street to her neighbors house,rang the bell and there he was, Jackie Robinson,his wife and children,he invited us all in and spoke to all of us,what a great and kind man he was. The real hero here though is Mrs Hemachandra,she also made it possible for Marian Anderson to sing at our school,she sang The Lord’s Prayer that day,I never again heard it sung more beautiful. Mrs Hemachandra was an unbelievably wonderful teacher who believed in every student and made each of us feel special!! Then one day her son came to our classroom to tell us our beloved teacher had died on her way to school that morning,the entire class broke down and wept,we all knew we had just lost the greatest teacher to ever come into our lives,at least that is how I felt. I am 70 now and still Mrs Hemachandra is one of my most precious memories. Perhaps I should mention that she was the first person of mixed color to teach in our school which was all white,she was part black and part american indian as I recall,but first and foremost she was a beautiful human being!!!!

Working for TWA as a gate agent I was lucky enough to meet a few.. Tony Orlando, Phyllis Diller, Joan Van Ark.,John Goodman, Tanya Tucker[ she is a hoot]. Being a gate agent was great

Not fair, as I’ve lived in New York & Los Angeles. I’ve met lots of “famous” people. Most have been pretty cool.

To be honest with you, I wish I could meet Whoopi Goldberg. She is my hero and role model and if I EVER get to meet her, that would be the happiest moment of my life. Of course, she would just like, say hi and move on, but I would be like, “OH MY GOSH!” is that really Whoopi? lol. Then I would hug her, but ask first if I can. Then I’d tell her I LOVE HER SO MUCH. And how she inspires me to have in my mind all the time, that I want to be a great actress like her one day. She has made me want to become an actress and a comedian and I want her to know if she ever reads this that no matter how my friends mock at me and tell me that Whoopi is crazy and how can I love her out of all other celebs, I will always support her. Everything she does and people have a problem with it, I check it out and decide for myself if she did something wrong. Many times, she doesnt and when there are times that she does, I accept it because people all have different opinions on stuff and everyone wishes the world was an equal place to live in but I know that God cant make everyone agree on something at once. That’s why I love Whoopi because she accepts what others have to say and she knows that the world isnt equal. UR biggest fan, Love, Felicia

Mayor Adrian Fenty…..before he was mayor of Washington DC. He was just a councilman but was still very popular. Nothing special but he is a nice guy.

I’ve met almost all the actors on All My Children (a show I’ve watched for about 35 years), including David Canary, Susan Lucci, Bobbie Eakes, Cameron Mathison, Thorsten Kaye, Eden Riegel, Vincent Irizzary, Sydney Penny, etc. within the last five years when I went to NYC for the AMC fan club events and when I attended the VIP dinner at the Daytime Emmys a few years ago in Hollywood. At the Emmys, I also met Tamara Tunie (Law & Order). Hubby and I spent time at Walt Willey’s bed & breakfast in New Mexico hanging with Walt and his family. All these wonderful actors never made me feel like they didn’t have time to talk and spent time talking d having their pictures taken with me. They were all some of the sparkling highlights of my traveling lifestyle. I also met Jon Stewart while I was in NYC when I attended his Daily Show.

The most famous person I have met and carried on a conversation with was the ever talented Chris Botti. What a gifted trumpeter and composer. He was so gracious and giving with his advice about the music business. Especially’, since he had just finished playing a 2 hour concert and meeting with his fans in Tarrytown, NY. A beautiful and talented human being. Not so bad on the eyes either. I have also met Predsident Bill Clinton. Only for a moment at a town gathering in NH. He shook my hand we said hello. For me that is not what I consider

well, well, well, as texans say—-as a youth, i managed the three largest audio outlets in San Fran, Berkly, Sunnyvale—-my expertise at saving pros thousands on stage-amp gear made me a minor legend in San Fran—-the finest people i met, and knew? Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and others—-all young, naive—-and soon dead. the shame goes to our society—-not them—-they were beautiful, fragile folk—-USA policy from ‘Big-Pharma’ killed them. i may not watch a vid of them, without crying—-
