What if your everyday life kept crossing paths with the most famous people in the world?

From accidentally bumping into Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to dancing with Miss America and chatting with the last man to walk on the moon, Brushed by Fame is a fascinating collection of real-life encounters with some of history's most iconic figures. These aren't staged meet-and-greets or fan convention selfies—they're spontaneous, surprising, and sometimes hilarious moments that remind us celebrities are people too.

Told by an ordinary guy with an extraordinary knack for being in the right place at the right time, this book invites you to experience what it's like to unexpectedly rub elbows with the rich and famous—from presidents and astronauts to movie stars, athletes, and rock legends.

Inside, you'll find up-close stories featuring:

  • Presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan
  • Hollywood legends Clint Eastwood, Raquel Welch, Gregory Peck, and Shirley Temple
  • Music icons Marie Osmond, Mötley Crüe, and Connie Francis
  • Athletes Willie Mays, Jerry Rice, Charles Barkley, and Peggy Fleming
  • Cultural figures Jesse Jackson, Annette Bening, John Lithgow, Goldie Hawn, George Takei, and more
  • Whether you're a pop culture fan or just love a good "you'll never believe who I met" story, Brushed by Fame is an irresistible glimpse into what happens when the spotlight unexpectedly shines on an unsuspecting bystander.
