Are you a famous person? Do you know any famous people?

Good friend of a guy who won a reality TV show. He's really down to earth and a super nice guy

I’m not anything close to famous but I went to high school with MLB Hall of Fame inductee Fred McGriff. We’re friends and I’m also friends with MLB Allstars Gary Sheffield & Tino Martinez. Tino also went to high school with me.

I'm not famous.

I don't even know many famous people. I went to elementary school with Tony Hawk (he was a few grades ahead of me but I knew who he was, of course, he wasn't famous then). I've met some well know politicians while volunteering on campaigns over the years but didn't really know them. I've met a few ex-porn stars at strip clubs and a girl who was in Playboy, but I don't really count that. Our neighbor was a Major League baseball player when I was a kid. I'm thinking of others, and don't really know that many.

How about others? Are you a celebrity? If not have you have famous friends, or even just met any famous people?

No and yes.

I was doing local TV news and was recognized occasionally. You learned to be on your best behavior in public. Really. Neighbors weren't too impressed. An old guy I ran into often while while walking the dog always complained to me about news stuff ("Too much chit-chat").

I have met:
Bob Hope
Walter Cronkite
Charles Kuralt (if you are old enough to recall him...old CBS guy)
Jimmy Stewart (very nice guy)
Robert Duvall (kindof)
Gene Hackman (kindof)
Regis Philbin (nice guy)
Little Richard.

Car guys: Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall, Phil Hill, Dan Gurney, a Indy 500 winner, Chip Foose, George Barris, Dave Kindig.
Sports stars..Rosey Grier, Sal Bando, Billy Martin, Ken Rosewall.
Many politicians, military (I literally ran into a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon), famous aces, medal of honor recipients, astronauts.
I met the niece of the Wright Brothers...she was old enough to really remember them as a kid and later as an adult.
One of the doctors who tried to save JFK in Dallas.
Haven't met a president but saw Clinton up close twice. Also, Nixon and Bush senior at a slight distance.
My SiL met King Charles at a party, a friend received an award from Queen Elizabeth.

A friend's son was a soap opera heartthrob.

I am not famous, although I had my 15 minutes at one time, couple producer credits and a couple of quasi-famous art works and designs. This was all pre-transition mind you. My partner is very famous in niche video game circles. I am friends/acquaintances with a few famous people. Was funny seeing 2 of them shell shocked at seeing each other a few years ago at a dinner get together.
