Who are these people, in comparison to a Holy Jew. Now that is someone that is really famous, and much easily accessible. One can go meet a Talmid Hacham much easier then all the losers from Hollywierd.

Agreed; meeting such people, such as Rav Kahane and others, would be a much more meaningful experience, but the question was what it was. Meeting a famous person is in and of itself nothing special, unless they add something to your life which is beneficial.

Who did Dick Van Patten play in Spaceballs? I LOVE that movie!

I don't remember his title.

He was the guy (king?) with the Perrier air.

WWE's Triple H

I met Chaim ben Pesach, and David ben Moshe - THAT is as wonderful as a girl can get in one day.

And I LOVVVVVVVE David ben Moshe.

I just didnt put it up here- because I didnt want to act arrogant- but what the heck- these are two of the MOST FABULOUS men in the PLANET

Chaim is the MOST Holiest Jewish man I have ever encountered, a tour de force of passion for Israel.- and David the MOST loving, intellectual, and SMART, and PATRIOTIC for USA.

Way back in my wild days of youth, we threatened Joey Ramone and chased him down 3rd Ave. we really were not going to harm him, just had to much "spirits" that night.
Also ran into Carly Simon getting out of a taxi with another lesbo, we made a few derogatory remarks, she made some back, end of story.
Later on, when I became a good boy, at a little league awards banquet, I coached and ran youth sports programs for many years, we had Neil Allen of the NY Mets as the guest of honor. He actually stayed after it was over shooting the breeze with the coaches and actually helped us put away the tables.
Years earlier, Ed Kranepool of the NY Mets was the guest. He spoke a little, then dinner came. After dinner he was supposed to present some awards to the kids. He excused himself to use the bathroom. After dinner there was no sign of Kranepool, he skipped out.
I met Rudy Guiliani when he first ran for mayor, I was eating in the Waterfront Crabhouse, he was leaving, I was entering.
Also, Carol Alt in Flushing Meadows at a Queens day festival, she was with her then boyfriend, NY Rangers Ron Duguay, it was that long ago.
As some here have said though, big deal.
I work with a Bangli muslim who admitted he would blow himself up on a bus, did I mention I work in a bus depot, I am sure he will also be famous someday.

I once met former pro-wrestler Ricky Steamboat at a shopping mall in North Carolina. He was buying coffee. Very nice man. If your not a wrestling fan, I guess you wouldn't consider him famous.

I met Rodney Dangerfield in Las Vegas.
He was walking around, in the hotel lobby, in a hotel robe (no pants just black socks).

My sister's boyfriend was working in an auto parts shop when Marvin Zindler walked in. Everyone in the shop was really excited to see him, and since he's from California, not Houston, Texas, he had no idea who the guy even was. When he told us he'd seen him, I was kind of impressed. lol

I liked Zindler a lot because he was such a humanitarian person. I was really sad when I'd heard he died.
