Celebrities from your home town

[maineiac04631]

I was born in Sewickley PA, the only other person who is famous that was born there is former NFL head coach Chuck Knox. A lot of Pittsburgh pro athletes live there now, Franco Harris, Mario Lemieux, Sidney Crosby, Tom Barrasso, Sergei Gonchar.

I lived most of my life in Lebanon Ohio, I went to school with Woody Harrelson and Marty Roe of the band Diamond Rio, Neil Armstrong also lived here for a long time on a dairy farm just outside of town. Greg Demos the bass player of Guided By Voices is a lawyer here.

No, he's a lot older than me. I did go to school with a famous sportsman in Australia, but I'd rather not say who.

There are plenty , naming most notable ones :


Ramchandra Guha - internationally acclaimed leading historian in India

"The American Historical Association (AHA) has conferred its Honorary Foreign Member prize for the year 2019 on Ramchandra Guha. He is the third Indian historian to be recognised by the association, joining the ranks of Romila Thapar and Jadunath Sarkar, who received the honour in 2009 and 1952 respectively."

I read somewhere that Travis Fimmel was a "music-busker"-traveler prior to his acting career, which is about as cool as it can get. I give the dude 5/5 stars for his acting ability.

Our most famous ex-resident is children's author Jerry Spinelli. His son was actually my art teacher in middle school, haha.

Kevin Bacon, while born and raised in Philadelphia, used to spend his weekends out at his grandmother's place, which is in our town. That's about it.
