I met Ann B Davis (Alice from the Brady Bunch) at a McDonalds when I was a teenager. Also met Alex Trebek when I was 15. I took the Jeopardy test. (Didn't make it though) And that's my claim to fame. :)
Being a flight attendant, I've seen quite a few famous people, but it was always a thrill for me. Here are some of the people I came in contact with:
Bob Vila, Ben Affleck, Ryan Seachrest, Mark Harmon, Marilyn Quayle(former VP's wife), David Brenner, Dikembe Matumbo(pro basketball player), Kevin Nash (pro Wrestler aka Big Sexy), Gladys Knight, Trisha Yearwood. There were others, but I can't think of them right now.
Love yall, Mom
What…Howie didn’t make your list? Well, our list isn’t nearly as impressive as yours (or your mom's), but we’ve seen a few…
1) Little John (yeeeeaaaahhhh…Okaaaayyyyy) at Lenox Mall,
2) Emmanuel Lewis at Fellini’s Pizza,
3) Steven Jackson (ST Louis Rams running back) in a St Louis restaurant
4) Eliza Dushku (google her) and Brad Penny (LA Dodgers pitcher) on a plane,
5) Sean Michaels on a plane, and
6) when I was a kid, we saw the entire Montreal Canadiens hockey team at a restaurant (that was cool…got all their autographs and everything).
-Eric and Michaele
Yeah, Howie could have been on the list, too. And I guess I could include Eliza Dushku, Brad Penny and Shawn Michaels... although I didn't have a clue who any of them were!
Zack could also list several of the Atlanta Falcons. And I can personally include Keith Brooking, since we graduated from high school together!
Zack also forgot about Billy "White Shoes" Johnson...
Oh, and one more... this one is BIG! Zack once wrote an estimate for Bert Thornton (aka Waffle House president, a la Bert's Chili). How's that for a mega star?!
Hey! I finally found your blog thru my friend Lisa's blog. I couldn't link here before from comments you left on my blog. When I get some time, I'm coming back to see how things have been going. Hope you're good.

Oh, and I've never seen anyone famous. :-(
Dan Jansen - Olympic speed skater at the Atlanta airport.
Oprah Winfrey - I sat in the audience for her show.
George H.W. Bush - at a political rally (I was keeping my mom from being arrested.)
I was once asked out on a date from a band member of Cheap Trick (the cute guitar player) but I didnt go..
Most recently, I am SURE I saw Orlando Bloom in a car at a redlight in Los Angeles. (It was just a few weeks ago and I was sitting on the street corner waiting in line for The Price Is Right!)
When I was a flight attendant, I saw many. A few of my faves were Estelle Harris (played George's mom on Seinfeld), Wallace Shawn (bald guy in The Princess Bride....also the voice for the dinosaur in Toy Story) and Rosalynn Carter (President Carter's Wife). I also had on my planes over the years....Donny Osmand, Marie Osmand, Babyface, Nina Simone, Geraldo, Maury Povich, Venus Williams, Babyface and lots of sports stars that I can't remember names for now. :)
WOW! you met rich mullins! He is like a legend.
