Locally we have a few "big name celebs" that come from our area... a few are The rock group TRAIN, Brad Boyes on the Boston Bruins NHL Team (played for the Erie Otters), Sharon Stone and a few others. It's always fun to see people from your area end up "famous".

So who's from your hometown that made it big?

No one that I know of was orginally from here.
But I know two people that live here now.
Patty Duke has lived here for a long time...
And that guy that starred in NYBD Blue...what was his name?? lol
shoot! Okay had to go look it up lol Dennis Franz lives here. lol


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)   ranked 398 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

Oh, very kewl on both! I've always loved Patty Duke. Is your town small enough you see them?



myLot reputation of 96/100. Penguinsangel (2785)   ranked 447 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

Patty Duke goes in to my husbands Office Max, but he swears he has never seen her. lol So nope, don't ever see her.

But we did see Dennis at the Fair this year, but I only saw a quick glance at him. Our town is small, so you would think we'd see them a bit more, but nope. Or maybe if they do go by you just don't regonize them quick enough or something.

John MacCrae was born in Guelph Ontario Canada. Those who are familliar with the famous WWI poem "In Flanders Fields" would know who he is. His house on Water Street near where I live was turned into a museum.

My mother was born in Odense Denmark, where Hans Christian Andersen was born. His house is also a museum. I've been there.


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)   ranked 398 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

Wow, you went back in history to share! lol Thanks! We're lucky enough here in Erie, right on Lake Erie to have a huge amount of history from General Washington to so many others because of the battles fought here and such.

I'm amazed at how many "famous" people are from this area or even passed through and spent some amount of time.


myLot reputation of 97/100. danishcanadian (24607)   ranked 504 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

Thanks for your comment on my reply. There are a lot of really famous people in history. I'm so happy to have someone like him from here in Guelph. His writing said a lot, during WWI.

Ooh, a friend of mine was really into "Train" and got me into their CD more than I had been. I like them quite a bit. How cool that they are from where you live! ^_^ I know that we have a few famous people who originated here in Kansas City, Missouri, but my mind is coming up blank right now! I tried to Google some answers and found out that Burt Bacharach was from here, which is pretty cool! But I was thinking of more modern artists! *laugh* Maybe I'll remember later. Anyway, thanks for your post! ^_^


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)   ranked 398 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

She would have died the day he presented me with a signed copy of his CD when I was at work!!! He lived across the street from a guy I worked with, we put together a chinese auction of items to make money for a local program and I won his CD. Well, he said he'd come deliver it personally. It was kind of funny because while I loved his songs and had heard of him, I'm not one to follow the person themself and would never have known him if I had run into him. He walked over and I asked if I could help him, then realized everyone else was staring at me. At that point I went.. OMG! lol

my hometown is San Francisco and we have 2 residents. One is Lisa Bonet in which she played Denise Huxtable. She grew up in san francisco before the Cosby show came on the air. Robin Williams and his wife lives somewhere in San Francisco, but I never saw him in person. would love to meet the guy.


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)   ranked 398 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

I love Robin Williams! He can make me laugh no matter what!



myLot reputation of 92/100. theaterjunkie (308)   ranked 6,690 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

Ahhh that'd be so cool if I lived in the same place as Robin Williams. He seems like such a down-to-earth guy.

George Foreman is my homeboy, so you don't want to make me mad. I now live in Las Vegas, so Andre Agassi is our boy here. Of course, millionaires are made and lost every day in this town, but they don't always become famous - It's just another day in the neighborhood.


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)   ranked 398 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

I didn't realize George Foreman lived in Vegas?! Kewl. He so seems like NOT the Vegas type to me! lol Agassi the same. Just not so glitzy and such. Weird.

Thanks for sharing! That's so kewl.


myLot reputation of 89/100. garfield8 (1640)  6 years ago

I did visit Las Vegas, but I never saw him. Lucky you. If you met anyone in person.


myLot reputation of 94/100. StarBright (1429)   ranked 826 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

Sorry for the mix-up. I'm a Texas girl. George is from Marshall, Texas. I'm now in Vegas, home of Andre Agassi.

Well, Jimmy Stewart was from the town just up the road from me, so he's from my county :) Every year, the whole town makes such a huge deal about It's A Wonderful Life! lol!

I used to live near Jamestown, NY which is where Lucille Ball is from.

I think that's about it!


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)   ranked 398 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

Ok, too strange... I live close to Jamestown (in Erie) and my name is the same as yours! lol

Too kewl though!I know Jamestown has a huge week they put towards Lucille Ball, has a museum (recently moved and updated) and so much more. They're constantly having famous people around in the Chautaqua Institute too!



myLot reputation of 98/100. Bev1986 (1169)   ranked 782 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

I LOVE Chautauqua Institute! I lived in Warren for 8 years and worked at the newspaper there and my territory was Jamestown. I loved it in the summer, going up and riding around the lake.... My inlaws are from Corry, which is close to you too ;)


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)   ranked 398 out of 26,920 in people  6 years ago

How amazing that we find each other here on the net and grew up so close! Chatauqua is an absolutely beautiful area.

The only people that I know that was from this area were players in the National Football League. We have Rich Gannon who played for the Raiders and we had Steve Watson a long time ago who played with the Broncos.
