I went to a performing arts high school and am a theatre person so I know a fair number of "famous" people. One of our big success stories is Paige Davis, the host of Trading Spaces. I haven't met her in person, but we have emailed. Sara Gettelfinger just finished up a run starring in the Broadway play "Nine" with the dude from Full House. We've had 2 Miss America contestants in the past four years, although I'm not sure that's worth bragging about. The other day Tommy Lee Jones was eating at the same restaurant that my husband's company Christmas party was at and his co-worker interrupted his dinner. I met Marsha Norman, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Oh, Nicole Sherzinger who I was in a couple of plays with was in that band "Eden's Crush" that got their start through the WB show "Pop Stars" (Again, not really something to brag about). She was a very nice girl.
That's all I can think of right now... I mostly know pseudo-famous people. Famous in the theatre world.
