Lots and lots.....one of the nicest, Pierce Brosnan and his wife, also Sean Connery.
One of the most defensive, Robin Williams, the funniest (and I do not like his acting), Steve Martin. And Billy Connolly (travelled next to him on the London-Glasgow BA Shuttle....).
The most arrogant, Eartha Kitt and Princess Margaret wasn't far behind.....

Constantly: some occasions positive, some not so positive. My background is with a Long-Haul airline. It's a standard practice, especially when unable to provide an empty seat to certain WKRP's or CIP's, a staff member to serve as a buffer and to provide a modicum of privacy/protection for the passenger.
I can't even begin to imagine how I'd rate the people I've travelled beside -whether from top to bottom or bottom to top, but I have in my mind some of my most positive memorable experiences and several of my least.
Some of my most positive have been beside
Jodie Foster SYD-BKK-LHR
Julie Andrews ORD-LHR
Robert Schuller LAXLHR
Ivana Trump LHR-BUD
Clive Cussler DEN-LGW
Florence Henderson LHR-LAX
Susan Dey SFO-LAX
There have been others, the rest having either less than what I would call positive memorable experiences and a few even less than that!
Hugh Grant and E. Hurley LHR-DUB - I was across from them on the aisle at a difficult time in their relationship.
Robin Williams LHR-JFK (It wasn't bad...just kinetic!!!)
Jermaine Jackson MIA-LAX (it was a sad time in his life)
Emily Lloyd STL-LGW (we wrote each other a few times)
Frank Borman LHR-DFW (He snores!)
and there are a few more, but I'd rather not even remember them!! I promise! Some people are so full of themselves they lose track that they're interacting with other humans. A sad thing to see wherever we are in life!
And although I wasn't on an aircraft with him, I had the honour of sitting with Hume Cronyn in a side - room inside the First Class lounge at BOS. His beloved wife had just passed away. He was a lovely lovely man!
As a child I met many 'famous' people, some of them I can still speak of with reverence to this day and I met my number of nut cases as well. My top favourite was Danny Kaye who lived in a hotel somewhat across from our hotel. We lived in a Manhattan Hotel for just under 18 months and Mr Kaye and my father struck up a wonderful friendship. We'd often have breakfast together and I have to this day a small card he drew a character on for me.
In later years I was in a lift at the same hotel with June Carter and Johnny Cash. Ms Carter asked me where we were going for dinner. I told her and she turned to Mr Cash to say that sounded lovely and perhaps they should go there instead' We never saw them, but I know they were going to a short function before.
Lastly, my earliest memory of being around someone famous...I had just forgotten about this but the thought of the restaurant reminded me, was with Jacqueline Onassis. She was mesmerisingly beautiful and sweet. I had 'seen' her before, but never spoke directly with her when I received an invitation to a birthday party for John John. I didn't know him at all so it had something to do with my father. He only remembers the invite but can't remember how it came about - or so he says. .I have a number of framed American Money with short salutations on them to my father, then signed by the person whose signature appears on the note. Other than what it says on the note, I couldn't tell you a thing about any of them.
and lastly, during my Manhattan times, I attended some extremely sedate but sweet Soirées I doubt anyone would know - Betsy Palmer, Fannie Flagg, and Kitty Carlisle. I'm sure they have all passed by now, I was always referred to as 'the baby' among the group and indeed I was, but they were all lovely.
Had some nice lunches and dinners with some fascinating people as well - all in Manhattan...but it was all because we lived around the same area.
The worst of the worst encounter of my life was with the infamous 'Queen of Mean.' Will remember her to my grave!

Many moons ago I met Rob Grant (co-creator and former writer of Red Dwarf) at a book signing of 'Backwards' a very polite and intelligent fella. and a book so cleverly written you have to stop and think about it as time is running backwards.
no-one can beat "I shared a taxi with Timmy Mallett !"
how jammy is that!

I have stood near Lloyd Grossman, and near that very small, very orange wrinkly woman who did travel shows in the 1980s. Gloria Hunniford? I dunno.
And I stood near Amanda barrie (Alma from Corrie) in Lewis's Haberdashery department in the 1990s.
And I once saw Rowan Atkinson cross the road near st paul's in London.
And some cricket presenters were at breakfast in our hotel last June but I don't know their names.
Coo, I don't half mingle.

Quite a lot as I have been lucky enough to work in entertainment business on and off for 30 odd years. The latest I met were Phil Jupitus and Noel Fielding on Never Mind the Buzzcocks,John Barrowman was hosting that particular show. Simon Mayo at radio 2,Rolf Harris at a dinner. Katie Melua at a lunch, and all the Loose Women last Dec 23rd. Years ago my idol David Essex! Mud, ABBA, Showaddywaddy. The only famous person I couldnt stand is Vanessa Feltz, a VERY rude ill mannered person. Oooer, sorry but this sounds very name droppy doesnt it.haha
