Whose the most famous person you've ever met

My wife was an extra in the Tommy Lee Jones movie "Cobb".
They were filming a scene at one of the casinos at Lake Tahoe in a restaurant where she was a diner in the background.
It takes forever to set up and film even in a small scene.
People where standing around waiting for the filming and she was standing around talking to him.
She didn't even know who he was till much later. She had never heard of him.
 
Joe Strummer, Joni Mitchell, Jane Goodall, Buckminster Fuller, Rosanna Arquette, Peter Boyle, Roger Ebert, Richard Simmons, Mike Watt ....... depends on who one considers more famous.

Agreed. Ed O'neill really didn't deliver on a phoned in John Hughes script.

Met Charlie Beckwith and Travis Tritt. Also had a part time job working backstage security at a decent sized venue. I got a lot of grip and grins from music celebrities but I wouldn't call it meeting them.

Related to Woody and Arlo Guthrie through my dad's grandma. She's Woody's cousin.

Also related to Richard Mark Ellard. He's a cousin through my grandma's family.
