I hung out with Stanley Clarke for a short while after a show.

Andres Segovia had dinner at my house when I was a child.

I met Jim Plunkett when I was working for his girlfriend at the time.

But the most touching and inspiring was the lecture I saw of David Faber, Holocaust survivor and author of "Because of Romek."  I had the opportunity to drive him to his next speaking engagement that afternoon, and the one on one time in conversation with him was unforgettable. http://www.becauseofromek.com/index.html

Well, let's name at least one ... Michel Platini, the great soccer player. i've been to a school where he made his studies and one day, i came back visiting it and i've been lucky enough to meet him.

The bald guy from "The Drew Carey Show" came into the hardware store I worked in during university.

And I swear when I was on the Long Island train going to NYC once, Charlie Sheen sat next to me and flirted with me, but I think I was just dreaming :)

Can I do my joke I just thought of? Can I?

I met Bill Clinton once, though at that time he was going under another moniker...

Thank you! Thank you!

Status: offline 		I interviewed Anne Murray when she came to do a concert at our college.  Eric Severeid also visited our school and I met him as well. 

In airports I have seen Jimmy and Roslyn Carter and Barbara Mandrell.

When I worked in the film industry I met Charlie Sheen, Michael Biehn, Joanne Whalley-Kilmer (and her husband at the time, Val Kilmer, also visited the set so I saw him up close but didn't meet him), Dennis Haysbert, Bill Paxton, Cyril O'Reilly and also Kelly Preston visited Charlie Sheen on the set (They were dating at the time.)   In grad school I met Gavin McLeod, and at a film festival I met Robert Alton.  Nick Nolte, Gregory Peck and several other stars were also there and I saw them but didn't speak to them. 

Andie McDowell and I had a mutual friend and Andie said hello to me on the phone, and then years later (last year) I saw her at the theatre in London.  I had a second row seat to Woody Harrelson's 'Night of the Iguana' and she was sitting towards the back snuggling and making out with a guy (have no idea who). 

When taking my kids skiing, we stopped for a snack and Art Alexakis of Everclear was there with his family. 

And Bill Clinton, George Bush and Ellen DeGeneres spoke at my daughter's graduation last year.

I think there may be others, but those are the ones who come to mind.

Celebrity by association!

What famous people have you seen in person (apart from on stage etc) or even met? Where and when? And for what are/were they famous?

I'll start;

I met Rik Mayall (The Young Ones, Bottom, Hotel Paradisio et al) in a pub in Wolverhampton once. He was due on stage in about an hour, for a stage show version of Bottom, and was drinking like a fish.

John Madden grew up with my uncle, so I see him every time there's a family wedding or funeral. And Whitey Herzog and Jim Palmer live across and down the fairway from my parents during the snow bird season in Rancho Mirage. I've played Gin and gone to dinner with them a few times.
