Natalia Livingston, who won an Emmy for her work on General Hospital is a friend. I've also met Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford while working as an extra in movies of theirs (one per actor). Lastly, I met Faith Hill in the mid nineties.
Met both Presidents Bush a number of times at the bookstore in Dallas where I worked....they both had homes nearby. The Secret Service would call and ask if they could spend a half hour after closing to browse. Both were quite friendly and seemed to read a lot.
Book signings also brought in celebs.
My favorites: William F Buckley, who was really funny and personable, and Oliver North (who even the diehard Democrats...most of the employees... had to admit was one of the nicest, most respectful and least demanding authors we ever had!), and
LeVar Burton, who spent an extra 3 hours talking with and reading to a kids reading group that was meeting in the store after the signing. He's an amazing proponent of getitng kids to read.
Garrison Keillor, of who I was a huge fan before, was dreadful...a total %#^@%#&...utterly crushed my image of him.

I forgot about meeting LeVar Burton last year! You are right he was super nice and generous.
Am I the only one who read the title and thought this thread was about naming your shaving brush with an appropriately "great" name?

That's what I thought also ...
"The soap is Tess, the razor's Joe, and I call the brush Mariah."
Man, I forgot to mention in my first post in this thread --
My brother-in-law has been nominated for a Grammy this year!!!

That seemed believable just because Sylvester Stallone is a shrimp.And in Rocky III as "Thunderlips", he is quoted as being "6 ft 11 and 390 lbs"
Me too.
"-in-law" -- but thanks!
