At signings I've met Stephen R Donaldson (author of the Thomas Covenant book series, he turned out to be an a-hole) and Ann Rice.

Back in the early 90's at a show in Portland. I was standing in line to get a pitcher of beer. The girl in front of me was ordering a pitcher of water, she turned and bumped her pitcher of water into me getting me wet. It was Julian Hatfield who was there performing with the Lemonheads. She felt bad and paid for my pitcher. I had a total crush on her and all chances of me acting smooth and cool went out the window, I'm not even sure I said anything coherent to her.

not a celebrity, but a tribal leader. actually he started a conversation with me at in the auditorium before a big native American gathering.
I treated him with great respect because of his advanced age but wondered why everyone kept staring at me for speaking to him.
when they made the introduction of the speakers, it turned out this very humble man was the tribal elder.

Nice!

Well, that's a YES/NO question. But YES or NO would be a boring answer, now wouldn't it?

I met a model called India Waters a few years ago. Although she's not very famous, apparantly her father was a famous musician.

Charlie?

Rock Hudson, George Nader (a couple at the time) Ozzie&Harriet,
Ricky and David Nelson (neighbors) Jeanne Crain (and her 5 kids)
Frank&Barbara Sinatra, my Mother worked at the Laguna Playhouse
so we got to spend a lot of time back-stage with luminaries, too
many to mention.

The most exciting to me, of course as a child, was meeting the
guy who gave away all the millions on 'The Millionaire.'

Helen Hunt and Matthew Broderick (when they dated) chatted them
on the Golf Course, Hal Linden, also not very nice in public.

Payne Stewart, still not over that, where his plane flew into
eternity and crashed killing all aboard.

There are a lot more. You cannot grow up in California without
meeting a lot of celebrities, not even intending to, as I am not
impressed with titles.
