Famous Residents

Toronto has so many. Mike Myers, Kiefer Sutherland to name a few.

Hmmm, the actor Edward Norton went to my high school (he was a year ahead of me).

Actually, Mike Meyers lives here in Los Angeles. I see him all of the time at the Deli I go to, and what's funny- he drives one of those little Mini Coopers. He may have a home in Toronto as well, but I know he lives here,now.

Where I am right now.... Springfield, IL is the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. Where I was born and raised Chicago, I just know of one famous person. The singer Richard Marx. Anyone remember him?

I grew up in Metuchen, NJ, home of: Susan Sarandon (I went to grade school with her kid brother, who is as handsome as she is pretty!);

I believe Chris Sarandon is actually her ex hubby. She kept his surname after they divorced. Her maiden name is Tomalin.

OK, that was embarassing. I still think he's adorable.

I agree, Chris Sarandon is cute! I saw him on a rerun of Judging Amy!

wow Yola Shane Ritchie?? he he, i think i might have to go shopping there sometime soon too

We have Jessie Wallace (aka Kat Slater) who literally lives down my road!

I frequently see her at my gym, aswell as Patsy Palmer, Teddy Sherringham, Alan Sugar!

My husband grew up in the town where John Wayne Gacey committed his murders (Norridge, IL). He lured his victims by offering them construction jobs for decent money. While my husband (about 16 years old) was working in a convenience store where Gacey used to shop, Gacey asked him if he wanted to start making real money. I am very grateful that Steve politely declined.

Scary, eh?

sad to say, noone famous or really special came from here. Clinton is like a small hick town. bummer for us

Someone must come from Clinton! I know the name and have never lived in Iowa.

Trisha Yearwood is about the most well known one. She still comes home all of the time (her parents are still here). She has even brought Garth with her. I've met her and she's a really nice person (and tall - taking after her father). Unfortunately, I haven't met Garth. Wouldn't that be nice?

Willow's Mom--actually nobody really knows where Buffalo Bill is truly buried. As a resident of both Colorado and Wyoming I was confused as heck when we'd go to Buffalo Bill's grave just up I-70 outside of Golden (I grew up in Golden) and then we'd go to Buffalo Bill's grave up in Cody, Wyoming. Both states claim him and nobody knows for sure who has him.

Ahhh Didn't know that I have only been to the one up I 70 once and that was when I was about 7 years old with my Grandparents. Thanks for tellin me

Just a weird trivia fact. Sacajawea has some of the same issues around her death. There are two legends. One is that she died on the trail in S. Dakota, the other is that she lived and settled on the Wind River Indian Reservation and died there. I've been to the gravesite in WY as a child and seen the other theory on TV. I like to think she lived on the Indian Reservation since I spent my childhood summers there, but no one is sure on that one either.

Dick Turpin the highwayman used to ride where my house is built!

Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall live close by my work. Jerry and her daughters often pop in.

Dean Gaffney’s brother lives in a block of flats near my house, lol

hmm well if anybody knows the show
"neighbours" from australia i used to live 10 mins away from them, My friend used to be a back up on the show, like on weddings and stuff like that.
Im sure there are more but i cant think of right now

Tony Stewart trolls around town when he's not racing

I don't know that many....

Axel Rose and Izzy Stradlin of GNR are from here. I went to school with Jeff "Izzy" . Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon (also now defunct) is from here, I mean before he died. Karen Black the actress. Sydney Pollack the director, Charles Lamb of CSPAN. Alva Roebuck from Sears and Roebuck (so hubby says). That's all I can think of.
