I am from Green Bay, Wisconsin...not very big...

I always wondered about this. To the best of my knowledge, the only TV personality from my hometown is the guy played the Antonio the taxi driver on "Wings"...He was also in a show with Doogie Howser a few years back.


I have been told that ancient talk show host Tom Snyder is from the Milwaukee area...

..I guess we only spawn serial killers..

Neve Campbell's from my town!

Ashley Judd and that Backstreet Boy Brian he went to my high school

Chris Rock is from Georgetown SC about a 45 min drive from here.

Do the have any shrine's to honor them at your high school?

Christina Aguilera went to my high school (I graduated 10 years ago though).

Supposedly 'Debbie' from Debbie Does Dallas went to my high school too.

David Spade grew up in the Phoenix area.

A lot from San Diego...so it's not worth listing them all.

I was in the same school as film star Matt (Mathew) Modine. I lived on the same street as Angie Dickinson's sister...which is close. :)

And my cousin is TV star John Davidson.

More a movie star, but he has done TV...
 

Ernest Borgnine graduated from my high school (about 90 years ago).

Although I don't think he graduated from there, the wrestler the Rock attended my high school. My law teacher I had my junior year actually had him for law, as well.

And if you're including people who have had their 15 minutes of fame, the first million dollar winner on Millionaire, John Carpenter, lives in my town.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman....... Rochester, NY

matthew mcconeghey is from longview, tx, where i have spent most of my life although i am not there right now, but then again, neither is he.

The Proff on Gilligan's Island. Ashley,Pa
Jason Miller lived around here for a while too.

Toby Keith is all....does he count? ;)

Jeffrey Combs (Reanimator, DS9, etc.) went to my smalltown high school, and had classes with my sister and her future husband... He graduated just as I was entering 9th, but we had lots of friends in common, and I remember seeing him in high school plays and, later, community college shows...

Umm, Kristy Swanson, her half-sister went to my school. I have never seen her myself, but she does goto the local carnivals.

I keep on missing her.

Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock From the Sun) went to my high school about 25 years after me.

All from Houston, TX:

The Undertaker (WWF)
Dennis & Randy Quaid
Brent Spiner (Star Trek)

Both Quaids and Brent Spiner graduated from the same high school as me, Bellaire.

Lucille Ball
the 10,000 maniacs

Beverly D'Angelo is from Columbus,Ohio

I can claim Katie Holmes!! And Jamie Farr too, but he doesn't look as cute in a dress. Farr did a great job of promoting Toledo, Ohio when he was on Mash. He was always talking about the Toledo Mudhens, the Detroit Tigers AAA team, and Tony Pacos, a local restaurant.

Yes, I live in the real-world inspiration for Mayberry - Mount Airy, NC.

Closest thing is that Marcia (sp?) Cross from Melrose Place is the daughter of my 6th grade math teacher at Marlboro Middle School in Massachusetts.

Leslie Bibb:D

Julia Roberts is from Smyrna, GA, a suburb just on the outskirts of Atlanta, GA. Oh joy.

Her dentist gave out tubes of toothpaste since Julia won her Oscar a couple of Sundays ago, he ordered 10,000 tubes. I think he gave out lots of lots of them.

Paige Turco, Gretchen Palmer and John Shea are the three that come to mind immediately.
