How To Meet Famous People

This book can serve as a resource guide any your quest to meet a famous person.  It includes many examples of how average people met celebrities.

It's been a long time since I met former President Richard Nixon. However, I found that this major event in my life was cemented tightly in my brain. It was like it happened yesterday. When writing this book, everything came back to me and it was like I was living the experience over again. Not many average teenagers get the opportunity to meet a former president at his personal residence and talk with him for an hour. I was honored to have that meeting. It was an event of a lifetime. In this book, you will read details of how I obtained the very rare appointment. I will unpack each step so you can re-live the experience with me. I will bring you inside Nixon's home. You will see how kind he was and how nice he treated me. I will also share with you what happened after the appointment.

Additionally, you will read about how I was able to meet other famous people including Buddy Ebsen, Dan Rather, Kiefer Sutherland and others. You will read how I met the first woman Vice President of a major TV network; how I got VIP seats for the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson; how I met Charlton Heston; how I received a personal tour of the Nixon Library and Museum by the Executive Director; and how I got my Nixon story on television, radio and in newspapers nationwide. You will also read about my experience as a Page at the 1980 Republican National Convention with behind the scenes look at all the famous people, I ran into backstage including catching legendary Walter Cronkite in a temper tantrum.

I present several case studies of how average people met famous people such as Taylor Swift, Steve Jobs, Paul McCartney, the Bee Gees, Betty White, Harrison Ford, Howie Mandel, Matthew Broderick, Dr. Ben Carson, Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump, Barack Obama and many more.

I give specific steps and ideas on how anyone can meet a celebrity. If you are interested in autographs, I will give you tips on how to obtain them. I have included several examples of how others obtained autographs of celebrities and politicians without meeting them in person.
