What? Nobody said Mike Musto?
A. J. Foyt - Probably the greatest race car driver ever.I met Dale Earnhardt (Sr). He gets my vote for best driver.
Who is the most famous person you know or have met?

Emma
Gloria Steinem. She was staying on the same floor of a hotel one weekend. We rode the elevator up together and nodded and said hello. I figured she was always meeting people who recognized her so I left her alone. The next morning, we met in the hall so I acknowledged that I recognized her and we had a brief chat. She's a stunning woman and very warm, too.

When I was in Plains, Georgia several years ago, I met former President Jimmy Carter and wife. I have a picture of me taken with them to prove it.

I've met some famous people from various backgrounds, and been friends to a couple, but I don't like talking about celebrities because this kind of celebrity "E: channel" adulation disgusts me.
But I will say, just because he was a true friend growing up, that I did go to school with a director you will probably hear more from in the coming years. Brian Avenet-Bradley and I went to the same small rural high school. He just got a lot of acclaim for his recent film, "Ghost in the Needle". Growing up, he was the only person I knew that seemed transparent to all the little barriers which children and teenagers throw up around themselves in a sad sort of caste system. Brian was beyond that, and he was truly talented. As an semi-pro filmmaker in high school, he was as comfortable on stage, (but not in his desk.. he fidgetted too damn much), as he was in front of his old videocamera.
