I just came across this question and I have a claim to fame. When I was little, I grew up in LA in a small beach town called Manhattan Beach. My dad used to go to this small, dark video store to find videos for myself and my 3 sisters. This guy behind the counter was always creepy, but used to recommend really good family movies. Turns out that guy behind the counter turned out to be Quentin Tarantino, who made Pulp Fiction. Now that I live in NYC, I have a lot of famous people. I spoke with Sarah Jessica Parker and Mathew Broderick on the subway and have run into a lot of other ones. Some of them I don't even recognize on the street.
