Did any famous people grow up where you live?

[Zero!]

Uhhh, it's the Land of Lincoln, does that count?

Illinois then?

You know.. he was born and raised in Kentucky, even if he did start his career in Illinois ;P

Yeah, Illinois. But hey, he started his career here, isn't that good enough?

You know... we hate you guys' license plates. You guys get Lincoln, and we get some kind of demented demonic sunshine.

The town just south to here is where Cathy Freeman grew up. *Nods*

[jellyoflight]

So it was CASSI that lived in Crewe...I knew it was someone who's name began with a C...

::waves:: Yup, it'd be me. No stalkers, please. Besides, Crewe is boring...just ask Igg. =P

So I was there thinking it was Cae that lived in Crewe...hmm..anyway, you live relitively near meeee!

...Cae is in Wisconsin. XD

The grandchildren (I think) of the guy who invented Monopoly (or something like that) live near my dad! They have several really big houses. But...uh...I don't think that really counts, does it? =P

I live in a small town called Melton Mowbray, Graham Chapman was from here.

[Jens]

isn't 50 cent from detroit?

anyway i know the brother of a person that's already in the top 10 of idol + i know another person from those eight who is really good

[matchbow]

I live in Toronto. Hannah Sung from MuchMusic went to my old school and my current school. Her name is on the wall of my old school on on of the mural things. Apparently Moby went to my sister's school

[DM was on fire!]

Lily Tomlin (Actress)

Jeri Ryan (Actress)

Steven Curtis Chapman (Christian contemporary singer)

Of those three, I used to go to church with Lily Tomlin's aunt, Jeri Ryan's mother is my mother's doctor's secretary, and my former youth pastor is a personal friend of Steven Curtis Chapman.

Also, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's oldest daughter Rumer was born here while Bruce was filming the movie In Country here.

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN GREW UP THERE?! Awww...man! Well, I don't know if anyone grew up in my area of SC.

Georgia O'Keeffe was born and raised in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin - which is about 15 minutes away from my town!

So very cool, I go to Sun Prairie for my flute lessons, and one of my best friends technically lives in Sun Prairie, because he moved to the outskirts of Sun Prairie - but he took school choice to go here.

But yeah...that's it.

(And for all you Wisconsin people who don't know where Sun Prairie is, it's about fifteen minutes east of Madison.)

[White_Wolf]

Yeah, quite a few have actually... but I don't know how to spell their names, and I don't know all of them either, so I won't name anyone until I take a little more time into looking it up. Oh, and it's quite odd actually, considering where I live is a rather small town...

[Kitten Medli]

I don't know anyone from this small place.

[Lillie]

Jackie Chan is the only one I can think of at the current moment that the western world might know of.

[ahoteinrun]

My grandmother is locally famous... for being the son of the guy who invented the puffed wheat square, and the banana split.
THATS RIGHT!
You heard me!
My Great Grandfather!
*proud*
And thats Canadian. *huffs softly*
But i'm sure theres famous people in Edmonton... but it depends on what you actually consider famous. Locally famous? Or... movie star famous?

[Ken]

The only people I can think of is :


The band "702" - Our area code.
Jenna Jameson - Hehe yea....
