Saw and had a book signed by Bruce Campbell at his Book signing.

Also had a librarian in my town when I was in elementary school who wrote a couple of big books but shes only famous in the Mid west.

See no one really big but thats the draw back to living in South Dakota very few Famous people show up here.

Shawn Alexander - Seattle Seahawks runningback. Used to walk to class with one of my ex girlfriends, and I got to chat with him a few times.

Aaron Neville - met at EWTN, thanks to LV and Tatiana :)

Matchbox 20 - took my sister to get an autograph...those freeloaders ate my altoids.

Filter - lead singer hit me in the head with water bottle.

Third Strike - Moshed with lead singer (he's a BIG guy)

Chris Goode - At the time, was a runningback (I think) for the Indianapolis Colts. Came to talk to my little league football team.

Billy Kidman - Last I checked, a WCW wrestler. Met him at a Hooters about 6 years ago.

People I went to school with: Charelton Heston's daughter Holly, Andy (Mr STP) Granatelli's daughter Andrea, Lorne Green's daughter I-can't-remember-her-name, George Carlin's daughter Kelly and Rick Baker the Oscar winning makeup artist.

Other people I have met: Alyssa Milano, Will Wheaton, Bob Miller (Hall of Fame broadcaster for the LA Kings hockey team), a bunch of players from the Kings, most notably Luc Robitaille and Steve Duchesne, the band Yes -- I know there's more since I live in La-La Land, but I can't think of any....

And if I really wanted to get a list going, I'd include my husband's acquaintences which include the members of KISS, Motley Crue and Quiet Riot, and the occasional film/TV stars he meets on the job (he's a delivery driver for a film vault).

I love LA! :D

David Prowse didn't seem to have much of an ego when I talked to him. He charged for signings, though.

Mel Carter (singer/ good friend of the family) Wrote "Hold me, Kiss me, Thrill me"

Dominique Daws (Gymnist who was on the olympic team) Was at a gym in Florida and there she was. :D

Al Pacino, met him through Mel Carter's agent. Very, very cool guy.

Pamela Anderson, met her through Mel Carter's agent. She was so hot. Anyway. Had a good chat with her for a while, before she had to go. :(

Almost met Cindy Crawford, but she had like a modeling shoot, so Bah. However, she did sign something for me.

Mom met Charleton Heston and Sally Field, it was cool. I met them too, Charleton Heston is a cool guy. Didn't really talk to Sally alot.

I have autographed pictures of Charleton Heston, Sally Field, Cindy Crawford, Pamela Anderson, and Al Pacino. So, that's who all I've met. :)

I guess I can also mention my thirty seconds of "Fame" -- I was an extra for one episode. I was also in the Ozzy Osbourne video for "A Shot in the Dark" -- just an extra body to fill in the crowd scene, but hey, it counts for something -- like $0.00000001....

Forgot another celeb, although it wasnt as exciting. I merely remember it cuz it was the last time I did something with my grandma before she died.

Mark Consuelos(I think), he used to play Mateo on All My Children, Kelly Ripa's husband. I got to hug him and got an autograph and piccie. He's short irl! O.o

Youngstown (They were flirting with my sister! I was like O_o :lol) (1)

I'm not even going to get into the bands list cause then we'll be here forever. But that's a "small" list of peep I've met and stuff. And can you believe I met most of them within the last 2 or 3 years? It's trippy. :)

Hmmm... I've met a few famous people... a lot of them sports-related actually.


Brett Favre (pretty good guy... the kind of person you can have a beer with and just shoot the bull).

Keith Jackson (one of the coolest people I've ever met... met him at the 2001 Rose Bowl)

Lynn Swan (chatted with him at halftime of a Purdue/Michigan State game a few years ago)

Mario Andretti (signing autographs at a race a year ago)

Jay Leno (at the Indianapolis 500)

Peyton Manning (couple of hours before a Colts/Saints game)

Drew Brees (used to talk to him just before the start of the second half of games at Purdue, as well as around campus)


Let's see... some non-sports ones...


Doc Severenson (he's good friends with a man whose daughter I went to high school with... when he would come to town to play, some of us would be fortunate enough to hang with him after the show)

Maynard Ferguson (famous jazz trumpet player... saw him perform, got his autograph)

Michael Stackpole (EU author, met him at Gen-Con this past August... funny, funny guy)

Prince (quite personable, actually... he does put on a rather entertaining show.)


I know there are others... I'd have to think about it, though...

Mistress Tatiana
Nov 15th, 2002, 01:42:31 AM
Yup, I live in LA. Actually, most of them I met when I went to the BAFTA Awards presentation. I went last year when it was presented to Steven Spielberg, and I went this past year when it was presented to George Lucas. I actually got to shake his hand and talk to him really quick. It was so awsome! :)


Rob Thomas is the lead singer of Matchbox Twenty. Far from a boy band. :lol


And Patrick Stewart freaked me out man. I didn't have the guts to go up and talk to him. I just stood there like 4 feet from him telling myself I should go up and talk to him, but he didn't seem like the type to really go for that kind of stuff. My sis went up to him and got his autograph, and she said he didn't say anything. He just gave her a weird look and signed it. Oh well. :\

I support a football team called Aston Villa and end of the season before last, they had an award ceremony for player of the year. I went with my cousin and an ex mate. At the start of the night, all the players were kept seperate from the fans but about half way through, they dropped the railing we were just sitting there, drinking and having a laugh with them. I got a load of photos taken with them all and a few autographs.

Now these guys were real heros to me so, it was quite an experience. For any of you that know who he is, Paul Merson got player of the year and he played brilliantly all season. Arguably one of the best midfielders that season. He's a nice guy too, although a little quiet.

Im off to a momrobila thing tomorrow where George Lazenby, Richard Kiel (Jaws from James Bond), David Prowse, Kenny Baker, Alice Krige (Borg Queen), Craig Charles, Danny John~Jules (both from Red Dwarf), John Rhys Davies plus loads of others will be there. I think they are probably going to be charging for autographs which I think is out of order but still, they will be there. Should be good.

Mainly only wrestlers. Light on the WWE ones too.

There are a few wrestlers who are pricks. If you ever see them, do not approach them! Some guys seem to really live the character!
