I once held the door open for Janeane Garofalo

She said, "Thank you", and I said, "You're welcome, Janeane". She seem surprised that I recognized her.

--On edit--

I also held the door open for Mila Kunis at a Starbucks. She said thank you as well, but I didn't let her get ahead of me in line though.
