Don't really know anyone famous but I've worked with a few people responsible for some pretty famous stuff. I was VFX supervisor for a commercial shoot in LA a couple of years ago which had a crazy crew. The director of photography had an Oscar from "Memoirs of a Geisha" (an Aussie by the name of Dion Beebe), the 2nd AD was 2nd unit director on "Ronin" and basically everyone on that job had done some pretty big jobs.
My favorite though was the script supervisor who had worked with Spielberg for the last 20 years and showed me a photo of her, in her younger days, on the set of "Blade Runner"!!
Fortunately my job involved sitting next to her for most of the 2 week shoot listening to her crazy stories
I've been on shoots with a few big actors too but I'm not really into celebrity and prefer those that have earned their status behind the camera (or computer as it often is).

A few years ago I got called for jury duty. On the same list was a very well known Sydney socialite "Lady". However she did not front up.

Back in about 1970 my dad came home after work and said guess who I had a beer with at the Belair hotel. A local tv talk show host Ernie Sigley had taken a young Captain Kirk (William Shatner...star trek) to our local pub in the Adelaide hills for a few beers. I begged him to take me to the pub but kids were not allowed in the front bar then.

I have been fortunate enough to have met Gough Whitlam, Vincent lingiari and Frank Hardy, all in different situations. Students of Australian history will recognise the links.
