Does anybody famous live, or has lived where you grew up?
Tito Puente lived in my hometown until he died.
Who put my town on the map?

Not where I lived. But some pretty famous bands have come from where I live now, in Athens Ga. R.E.M., Neutral Milk Hotel, and Of Montreal, to name a few.
Samuel Tilden, the man who beat Rutherford B. Hayes in the popular vote yet lost to him in the electoral vote, was born and grew up in the town where I went to high school.
I hear that Eddie Van Halen has a house near here, but I have no clue.
And Barbara Streisand bought a house in our old neighborhood. We moved because of it.

See for yourself.
Also had a good number of movies shoot there.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Of Montreal is Of America? That kind of information gets right into my stomach, and then it just kinda sits there and burns....Originally Posted by Azar
ANYWAY, I live in Vancouver so like a million movies have been filmed here. The Watchmen movie is being filmed here right now. That excites me. :P
Gordon Lightfoot is from Orillia.
Bobby Orr is from Parry Sound.
I have no idea if anyone famous is from Barrie.
Emma watson = Hermione granger
Rowan atkinson = Mr bean
They grew up here but bugger off to London too much so they only stay for about 1 month.
Timothy Dalton and Terry Jones (of Monty Python) are from Colwyn Bay where I currently live. They're pretty famous worldwide even if they did come from such an unheard of place!
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
Nope, nada. But then again I come from a town with only around 5000-6000 people living in it. It's so small that people considered famous in Denmark alone don't even come from here.
John Hannah - that guy from The Mummy - was from East Kilbride. My dad says he remembers him at his high school.
Robocop came from my town, my dad used to see him trying to play on the swings with his heavy metal body.
Camilla Parker Bowles lives nearby (wife of Prince Charles - I think they got married anyway XD) I guess you only know if you know the British monarchy but eh.
And films like Harry Potter and period dramas are filmed in Lacock just down the road from where I live, but I guess that doesn't really count..
Loads of famous people are from where I live. But unfortunately they're famous in the historic sense, so nobody remembers who they are. All I know is that there's plenty. Admiral Blake for one.
urm, not really. My town isnt on the map! A few members of Hollyoaks live in my town, and comedian Johnny Vegas was born here, we also have a really really successful rugby team, they're current world cup and challenge cup winners or something.
