As far as I can remember, the only famous person I've met is Roy Clark. My dad used to play with his touring band, and we went on tour with them when I was a kid. We had lunch with him and got our picture taken. Seemed like a nice guy, and though I didn't and still don't care for the music much, his raw talent was very obvious from watching him play.

We live in Northwest Arkansas, near some old Civil War battlefields where "The Blue and the Gray" was filmed, and my (future) wife went to be an extra and met Lloyd Bridges. He held her hand for a few minutes during a scene change or something. She said he was really nice.

I remembered one more: I had a class with pro football great Steve Atwater when he was in college at Arkansas. I can't really say I knew him, but we were in class together and I spoke to him occasionally.
