Question of the Whenever - Celebrity encounters

[Lomadia]

I know, I know. The question of the week turned into the question of the month, which turned into the question of the... whenever. Thanks for taking some initiative, Ania. Here's a new one:

Who's the most famous person you've ever met/been related to/worked with/etc.?

Well, my mom used to be George Bush's neighbor before he got really involved in politics.

My aunt's professor is the dad of one of the members of Breaking Benjamin, who are all from my aunt's small Pennsylvania town.

I regularly stand/sit feet away from government ministers including the Blair and Brown (whos house I once got heavily panned at!). Went to a garden party at Buckingham Palace last summer too. saw the queen and her hubby but got bored and left early.

Also bumped into a couple of british film and TV types while i've walked around London but I don't think you'd have heard of them.

My friend stuntman Ricky was one of the Ninja in the latest batman!

I THINK that's it...

Hey Beren,did you mention your uncle in Star Wars?

[Lomadia]

I shook Barack Obama's hand at a rally in New Hampshire last autumn.

Oh, that's right. My uncle, a midget, played Retah, the ewok who flew the little hang glider and knocked down an AT-ST in Return of the Jedi.

you mean the ewok that slightly annoyed an ATST by dropping rocks on it than got shot down and stood on!? cool!
