Gladys Knight

I was working nights at a small hotelshe stayedatwhen she came to town. She came to the desk about 5:00 AM onemorning and asked if I could make her some coffee.

It was too cool. I was a nervous wreck.

Well, I met Shania Twain when she came into mypartners work to buy some knobs or handles for something, she wasstunning! Really youthful. She owns some land here in New Zealand. Shehad a boring car though.

And once I dated a cousin of Dwayne Johnson ('The Rock', that wrestlingguy) for a while, and I got to meet him briefly in Samoa when thecousin took me away to meet his family and Dwayne was visiting also.

I haven't 'met' any famous people except some Olympic winners in the early 90's at an event through a cancer support group.

I've got some 2nd cousin's that are/were in the TV business that I've never met.

My cousin is dating Matt Light's second cousin. For those not savywithsports, Matt Light is on theoffensive line forthe NewEngland Patriots.

Other then that, I led a simple life with meetingno famouspeople. Tony Stewart does own a speedway track at the northern part ofmy county.

Also, we are thehome of Miss. Annie Oakley!

OMG, yes. I have a Don Ho obsession. I actuallyknow him rather well. He was a client of my dad's.Now he's really more of a family friend. It's funny that youshould mention him. We see him whenever we go over toHawaii.

I've also met his daughter, Hoku. We actually went to her wedding as well.

Where did you meet him? The Don Ho show?

Sean Astin- (lord of the rings, goonies, etc)
Andy Serkis- (Voiced Gollum in lotr, other films.)

And they were all lovely, but Corin Nemec seemed the most down to earth.

 

[JAK Rabbitry]

Not too many people know Andy Serkis and Sean Astin by name.

Sean was also in 50 First Dates and Click. Maybe he's attracted to Adam Sandler.

Hmm, I've also met our congressman, Brad Sherman.

And, "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and his wife. We also went tothe premire of the show at the Hard Rock in Honolulu.
