Not famous but...

My 1991 420SEL originally belonged to the CEO of DTS (Digital Theater Systems, Inc.). So everytime you watch a movie and the DTS symbol comes up on the screen, my car belonged to the CEO of that company.

Of course, my oldest daughter occassionally drives my car (when her 300TE is out for service). She is a filmmaker-to-be. So when (sometime in the future) her name comes up in the Big Screen, I can always say that someone famous drove my car

The closest thing I can come up with is that the house I live in now was where Gretchen Mol (a fairly unknown actress at this stage of her career, Rounders, Donnie Brasco) lived in and grew up in.

Umm...I live a block and a half away from Steve Jobs?

Also, my aunt is a professional seamstress, and has worked on a few movies and TV shows (most notably Star Trek: Deep Soace 9)

That's as close as I get *lol*

I had the chance to buy a 70's SL that belonged to Meadowlark Lemon of the Harlem Globe trotters. However the car had seen some hard times. There was still a speeding ticket in the glove compartment with his name on it.
