I used to supply off duty Deputies for all the events(concerts, wrestling, etc.) at the County Coliseum in Lawton, Oklahoma. I met many stars, the most famous I guess was Reba. After the show she was signing autographs and one drunk unruly fan insisted he wanted a kiss. After I escorted him away and returned she invited me onto her bus, thanked me, gave me a hug and autographed pictures for each of my kids. Nice Lady. God Bless.

Phyllis George, Miss America 1972 kissed me on the cheek while visiting our military unit.
Mickey Gilley. I still laugh that he left the bar with this skank that we wouldn't touch.
Frankie Wine - 1920s-30s boxer. Friend of my dad's who fought Jack Dempsey to a draw.

Singer Mac Davis in the early 70's was doing a local college concert tour before he got briefly big in Hollywood. Acted as a bodyguard / escort while he walked between his dressing room and the nearby college gym where he was about to start his concert. Pleasant guy but really short.
Actress Bette Davis in the mid-late 70's while she was acting in a film being made locally. The film had an occult overtone so there had been some threats made by some unknown wackos. The film company hired locals to calm the film peoples fears. I did on set body guarding for her and film director Leo Penn (Sean's daddy). She was very happy to have a uniformed local LEO standing by her set chair. She was really old at that time but very sharp and feisty. I witnessed a confrontation between her and a stuffed shirt producer from Hollywood. I was standing right there while she told him and his Hollywood buddies where to go. She could make a sailor blush. As soon has he left in a huff, she turned to me, grinned and said, "Let's see how they like that." She proceeded to ask about my family, kids etc. Nice and unforgettable lady.

John Madden in Dublin (CA), he had an office there and like to eat at the Arby's which was on my patrol beat and I would eat there to.
General Chuck Yeager he was visiting one of his cousins who happened to be a friend of mine. I walked into their kitchen and there he was.
Governor Jerry Brown. The first time he was elected. He spoke at the labor day pick nick at the county fair grounds. I was one of 6 deputy's on his security detail. What a jerk he was. He kept trying to ditch his state police bodyguards. A kid about 7 years old came up and asked for his autograph. He told the kid no as he was a politician not a movie star.
