From both ends of the spectrum:

Eva Longoria (Parker, at the time) and Don Knotts.

Eva is really short and wears sunglasses on the airplane at night. Don Knotts looks exactly like he did on TV, down to the leisure suit and tennis shoes.
 
The title of the thread asks for the "most" famous person one has flown. After many years in the airline business I have flown many famous people but if I had to name one.........

President Ronald Reagan. Many believe he is worthy of being on Mount Rushmore. The most humble, gentle man one could ever meet. What an honor.

Many think you're nostalgic and Reagan would never survive a republican primary.

He's also a union buster, racked up massive debt with voodoo economic policies we still fight today-, but very cool that you got to meet him. It would've been an honor for me as well.
 
President Obama....of course he was only the Jr. Senator from Illinois then.
Ted Kennedy
Patrick Kennedy
Al Charptin
Buddy Cianci
Molly Price
Buz Aldren
Senator Reed
Governor Chaffee
 
Had Cindy Crawford on to SJD. Very quiet and looks better in real life than the pictures. Gary Busey pops his head in the Cockpit in YVR and startled us. Crazy eyes and all.
 
Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife Raisa, back in '98 on a ACA Jetstream 32 IAD-JFK. They were connecting to a Air France Concorde to Paris. I guess their travel agent screwed up somewhere... Nice people, seemed more content to be on that plane than most of our regular pax.

He was probably just in awe wondering where the flight engineer, radio operator and navigator would be seated.
