I sat next to Stanley Fischer of the IMF on a BOS-LGA shuttle once. He was sitting in a middle seat, and before the plane doors closed, he made a cell call where he started his conversation with "Hi this is Stanley..." At some point in the flight, I asked him if he was Stanley Fischer, and he said that he wasn't, and asked me who Fischer was. I told him, and he asked me if "this guy Fischer was a good guy". Of course, at the end of the flight, he had a car waiting for him with the driver holding a "Fischer" sign...

I met Meg Ryan at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo. Looks just like her in the movies, and her non-acting personality is very similar to her on-screen persona. She's tiny, though.
