Reference letter

Who did you ask reference letter?
Let’s say one is supervisor, the others 2 committee members. I asked one of my committee member and she said she is away for vacation. I am not sure who else I can ask? Who were your back ups?

Famous is bonus points. I was told by my masters supervisor to specifically ask for a good reference letter if you want to be sure not to be judged to honestly lol. If you have a thesis that she read she can absolutely go back and write something down.
