Re: The most famous person you met (and story )?
In 1992, I was a just graduated journalism major writing obits and police blotter, but thanks to my getting picked for this political reporting class, I got to cover our states delegates for the 92 Demo. convention in NYC.
Got my first floor pass the first day and was wandering around on the madison Sq. Garden floor, staring stupidly at everything and was kinda walking backwards. Unknown to me Robert Downey Jr. was filming some documentary and was doing a walking shot, kinda walking backwards (or sideways) himself. We collided, HARD! I apologized profusely, then realized who it was. I said "I know this is lame, but I **** loved "less than Zero". He was really nice, talked to me about the convention, then was intrigued with my story of a young college student covering the convention, and interviewed me on camera, but I don't believe the movie was ever released.
Anyway, that's my brush with fame.
