With the passing of Adam West, I'm reminded of how many people I wish I'd met but never did. (Luckily, I did get a picture with Mr. West and Burt Ward at a convention last year.) There are so many, though, that I wish I'd met, as they were alive and even on the convention circuit during my life. Is there anyone that you wish you'd met that you *might* have, but never did?

Leonard Nimoy comes immediately to mind.

I had a very brief encounter with Lynda Carter (I got hugged!) at one of her cabaret shows, but it happened so fast I didn't even get a photo. I'd like to have a quick chat with her.

I was SOOOO close! Around 1988 there was some kind of strike by the news team on Good Morning Britain,to fill the gaps where news items should have been they played episodes of Happy days and Batman,these shows got more ratings than the actual news programmes.On my half day from work i went into Birmingham to get the latest comics,i wondered into the Virgin Megastore around 2pm only to discover that Adam West was doing a signing,there was nobody at his table,so i quickly ran to the instore comics concession and hastily bought a TP of Year One for him to sign,when i got back he`d gone! Aaaaargh! I REALLY ought to have gone and asked him to wait,but i didn`t know he was about to leave! Coincidentally i was only telling my workmate this story last week.

Ted Williams
He was a student of the game and loved ,as I do, the history of Baseball. He was one of the few friends that Ty Cobb had so hearing about their conversations would have been a joy.

As far as celebrities truly within the realm of possibility...I passed on meeting Mike Tyson a couple summers ago when WIZARD COLUMBUS brought him in. I had no interest in anything to do with the show other than Tyson and it also conflicted with something else I had going on.

I think the question is about people who are no longer alive so that you couldn't ever meet them now.
Sixteen years ago I was the senior editor of a legal journal and I'd set up an interview with Elie Wiesel -- and then 9/11 happened. The interview was never rescheduled. Very sorry to have never met him.

Michael, you would be correct: that's the intent of the question.

Definitely Leonard Nimoy for me. Spock is my favorite Star Trek character and Nimoy's death affected me more than any other celebrity passing. I always wished I'd gotten the chance to go meet him at a Star Trek convention and thank him for all the years of wonderful acting that entertained me. He wasn't just great in Star Trek but pretty much everything I've ever seen him in, from Twilight Zone to Columbo to Fringe.
