Who is the most famous person you have met?

One night while working at the pipe shop I mentioned in another thread, Tommy Smothers walked in an bought some smallish Don Diego cigars. The brothers were appearing at a venue call The Cellar Door a few blocks west. I was a big fan, but too reserved to gush. So, I just started grinning while I rang up his purchase. Noticing this, Tommy started grinning too. I thanked him and gave him his change and out the door he went.

Politicians, musicians, and old-time-radio actors mostly. My favorite political interview was with Ross Perot, who spent a good part of the session complaining that our high school band played his theme song, "Crazy For You," in the wrong key.
