Uma Thurman for me.
Didn't meet her, just saw. My friend and I ate at the table next to hers in NYC. She's that pretty in person too.

Well, actually just Ozzy. Was in an elevator with him and his drummer, I think. This was like 15 years ago, though.
I went to school with Tom Hanks and Tim Robbins was one of my students when I was a TA at UCLA. I worked on a plays with William Hurt and Annette Benning.
Muhammad Ali
He frequently traveled (maybe still does) out of the South Bend airport. Not sure how he's feeling these days, but back in the late '90s, he was very gracious in signing autographs for people.
He was already quite affected by Parkinson's then, but he would stand (which was a chore for him) every time a person walked up to meet him. I felt bad seeing it, and wished people would leave him alone, but he didn't seem mind at all. Very classy guy.
Alan Culpepper, went running and he was there. He was a little faster than me though.
Oprah. Saw her jogging and yelled to her about an upcoming 5K.
Jimmy Carter I guess. I went to school with Kelly Clarkson. I've met James Stewart too and some other random celebrities. Jackie Chan, but I don't know how famous he is considered to be. I met Shari Lewis when I was a kid obsessed with Lamb Chop, so that was exciting for me. The most famous runners I've met were Bill Rodgers, Jeff Galloway, and Michael Johnson.
met chevy chase in the caribbean. He was hanging out by the pool.
Once after school, while waiting for my ride in front of the church Howie from the Backsteet Boys randomly pulled up in a car and went inside to get ashes (ash wensday). He has two big body guards and I spoke to him for a minute and got an autograph.
Saw John Major at Heathrow airport just after he had left Downing Street 10 - 10 years ago.
Kind of makes you wonder if there is someone famous out there today who nobody on this board has ever at the very least seen.
Met Yoko Ono a few weeks ago....in Germany.

Met Al Gore when he was running for President in 2000, that'd have to be the most famous, although I enjoyed meeting Bill Rodgers and Craig Mottram a lot more.
Tiny Tim, it was the coolest thing ever. Then about a week later, he died of a heart attack on stage.
jorge torres, runs his 5k 9 minutes faster than mine.
I went to HS and ran XC with Jason Rexing at Pickerington.
Joe Torre almost hit my car with his car in a parking lot when I went to the movies. This was last fall.
I've met Gene Wilder. Really nice guy.
I saw Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley at a movie premier about 10 years ago.
I saw Bill Gates at a CYO cross country meet last year.
I'm sure there are others. But those 3 are probably the most famous.
