I was on a flight from ORD-LAX (to connect on to a LAX-HKG and HKG-BOM) in 1st when I sat next to Ernest Borgnine (won Oscar in 60's, was in that helpicopter TV show). He was amazingly nice and talkative. He has been in over 60 movies and 1000's of TV shows.

On a flight from LAX-JFK in 1st, I sat next to the supermodel Veronica Webb. I had no idea who she was, but she had prolems with her onboard phone and asked to use mine to make a call. She gave me her Plat Amex to use to dial for her, which is when I saw her name.
