Ernie Banks, great singer!

Ozzie Osbourne, twice as paranoid as any song he's sung.

When I lived in Santa Barbara I did some electronics repair work for Jane Fonda, Robert Mitchum and John Carradine. I can't say I actually 'met' them though.

Sir Charles Upham, VC and Bar

I met him, shook his hand when I was 17 years old, at (one of) my Bro's graduation from Military Cadets; Sir Charles was the Patron for my Bro's Year.
I had read his History and I was in AWE.
Still am.

Re: Who's The Most Famous Person You've Ever Met?

I've met a few over the years

John Wayne (very nice guy)
Ronald Reagan
Walt Disney
Steven Spielberg
Ricardo Montalban (who just recently passed away R.I.P)

I was making a delivery to Ricardo Montalban's wife at their home in the Hollywood Hills, the housekeeper signed for it and I was walking down the path to my delivery van when a big white Crysler Cordoba pulled into the driveway and out stepped the man himself. I had trouble speaking to him, he was truly larger than life. He had huge hands I noticed as he reached out to shake my trembling hand, I stammered that it was nice to meet him and that I had left a package with the housekeeper. He thanked me and actually made small talk for a bit. This was during the time period when he was playing the role of Khan in the Star Trek movies. A very warm and kind man.
