I 've seen:

Chuck Connors riding his motorcycle off-road in Palm Springs.

John Cleese taking a private tour of Sea World San Diego. His 
guide was telling him how one of the trainers was killed by a 
whale. Seems she fell into the tank and the beasts are trained to 
push everything to the side.


Jay Leno attending a classic car show in LA.

Dinah Shore visiting her daughter at summer camp.

My grandmother, who was taking a VIP tour of MGM way back 
when, stopped dead in a revolving door when she recognized 
the gentleman going through the other way. "That's Clark Gable! 
That's Clark Gable! That's Clark Gable!" It was a while before 
they could get her to move and Mr. Gable could go about his 
business. (This may be a family legend, as I've heard it since 
about other celebrities. But who knows?)
----
I've met:
the late Richard J. Daley, Mayor of Chicago - got my picture taken 
and accidentally stepped on his toe
Bill Cosby-shook hands
Pope Paul- shook hands
Imelda Marcos - had tea
went to summer camp with  Carly Simon, who was working as a 
counselor teaching guitar.
