From my home town: NO ONE! I think maybe I'm the first person to ever escape! Mind you, there are only 400 people...mind you, one of the Holt boys has a Gold Medal from the Athens Olympics for Field Hockey (the Australian Mens Team won Gold).

From my current home, Brisbane: Savage Garden, the Veronicas...countless famous Australians...

From North Dakota:
Josh Duhamel
Lesile Bibb(Will Ferrell's wife from Taladega Nights)

Ravioli, I lived in Sactown for about half a year when I was 18. It's a wonderful little place, innit? SACTOWN woot.

Jared Leto went to my highschool in Mclean, Virginia, and Lauren Graham from Gilmore Girls went to my highschool's rival school. I believe Sandra Bullock and Warren Beatty are from Arlington Va, where I was born. And as for San Francisco, there are just way too many, but I guess a BWW noteworthy one would be Mano.

Jon Benet Ramsey's father grew up in my hometown.
Broadway performer Christy Tarr-McVey (she was in Tommy and Jekyll & Hyde -- she's the wife of Les Mis veteran J. Mark McVey) went to my high school.

My boyfriend grew up in the same town as Cindy Crawford.

... from the musical Oklahoma. It was a joke =).

I think they were both from NY, actually, but I could be wrong.
