Geraldo Rivera and Judy Collins both attended the University of Arizona.
John Denver lived here, during his high school years (his father was stationed at the Air Force base).
Mafia boss Joe Bonanno moved here, back in the 30s and lived here, until his death. His son, Bill, graduated from Tucson High.
For many years, actor Lee Marvin had a home here and was a familiar figure in many of the local bars.

Mine and Travis' anniversery is February 2nd, 2003Originally Posted by Graciecat
Do famous critters count?
If so, I could look out my kitchen window and see the Groundhog Zoo in Barcley Square where Punxsutawney Phil lives!
I HATE Feb 2nd.
There are about 6,000 or so people who live here, but on Groundhog Day the population has been know to quadruple and most of them are drunk, rowdy and destructive....frankly I wish they'd just stay home
He always joked that we would get married February 2 in Punxsutawney. He got over that REAL quick
That is scary stuff!
My town: Paul and Morgan Hamm (U.S. Olympians), Les Paul, Susan Hawk (Frist Survivor), the BoDeans, and the Steve Miller Band....that's all I can think of right now.
We live near Milwaukee, and they have TONS including: Oprah Winfrey (raised in Milwaukee), William H Rehnquist, Gene Wilder, Spencer Tracy, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, Peter Straub (all born and raised in Milwaukee). Infamous Jeffrey Dahmer (born in Milwaukee, raised elsewhere, returned to live with and then near his grandmother)
Don't forget LeBron!! He lives a little north of Akron
I have not read the whole thread but Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit) wasn't born here (well there) but moved there in his late teens and started his band there.
Well here is a list of famous people from my home town:

Ashton Kutcher grew up about 10 miles from me. Out in the middle of no where Iowa. His mom still lives there though and he comes to visit now and then. His cousin went to school with my SO.

Oh yeah, One of the woman from a survivour lived here in maine too. I forgot her name I didn't watch that show until the pearl island one with Rupert.
Last summer we had a big lawn sale and boyfriends aunt had a tie-dyed shirt with her signature on it, I don't remember where it went, but I did keep it. She lives on the coast I think and works on a lobster boat, mabey?
Katie Holmes used to live in Toledo (where I live now).
I looked up famous people from Toledo and it says that Jamie Farr is also from Toledo (I don't know who that is lol).

You'd be surprised how many people actually do come here to get married on Groundhog Day, they usually don't get married at Gobblers Knob, they mostly get married on the bandstand in the middle of the park.Originally Posted by Oscarsmommy
Mine and Travis' anniversery is February 2nd, 2003Thankfully when we get married it will change!
He always joked that we would get married February 2 in Punxsutawney. He got over that REAL quick
We had a few of our wedding pictures taken there...but we didn't get married on Groundhog Day.
Jamie Farr is the guy from the TV show MASH...can't remember his name on the show, but he's the one who always dressed as a Woman thinking they'd send him home.
I'm not a MASH fan myself, but my BIL just loves that show.
I forgot Elisabeth Shue too....

The band 311 is from Omaha--where I live now. There are a few celebs that live here, but I can't remember their names.
When I lived in Port Orange, FL about 8 years ago, John Travolta had a house in my neighborhood, as well as NASCAR driver in the #6 car--Mark Martin, the owners of Honey Baked Ham, Co., the owners of Gold Bond Medicated powder, and I can't think of the other famous/ridiculously rich person that lived there.

I'd have made fast friends with the Honey Baked Ham people
