Dolly Parton changed my diaper. When Dollywood (her theme park) had just opened, she spent a day at the park signing autographs. My mom stood in line, noticeably overwhelmed and struggling with me and my sister.
Dolly stopped what she was doing, grabbed me from my mom, and said, "It's ok, Momma, these lil' munchkins are a handful." She then asked my mom if she needed help with my diaper, and changed it for her.

I saw Steven Tyler at the grocery store one time. I was trying to reach past him, so I said, 'Excuse me.'
He said, 'I’m sorry, I don’t want to take any photos.' I replied, 'That’s fine, you’re just blocking the cheese section.'

I met Daniel Radcliffe and told him he smelled nice, and he said it was Listerine. Then he breathed in my face so I could smell it.

My mom chatted with Samuel L. Jackson for about an hour and a half while buying groceries because she didn't know who he was. When she returned to my dad, brother, and me, she looked at Samuel and said, 'Bye.' He looked confused because she didn't ask for an autograph or anything.
My dad kept staring and told her, 'That was Samuel L. Jackson.' She said, 'Oh, but he didn't swear at all.'

When I worked in room service 30 years ago, I waited on Drew Barrymore. She missed her flight that day, so she ordered hot tea.
When I got to her room, I noticed she was crying, and she asked me for a hug. So sweet!

Not mine, but my mom's story. She met Shaq at a bar around the time he was drafted into the NBA. She looked at him, laughed, and said, 'I can drink and you can't.' (He wasn't of legal drinking age yet).
He chuckled and responded, 'I can buy the bar and you can't.'

I live in Orlando. Once, I had a flat tire, so I pulled into a Racetrac (convenience store) and tried to change it. I couldn't get the lug nuts off.
So who comes to my rescue? John Cena. He was lovely. He changed my tire and took a picture with me.
