Tennessee All the Country Singers are now calling Nashville Home,To many to list. But we do have some who were born and raised here But Ones I have met are Lorie Morgan, Kassie Miller, My dauther In Laws Cousin Jessica Andrews. I did run into Johnny Cash one day ,Yep I did Run into him with my shopping cart at wally world. Did Not actually know who he was until I look up and he said excuse me Mam. I knew Craig Morgan before he made it big time,he was a handy man .
I went to high school with Casper Van Dien (from the movie *Starship Troopers*) and Robert Sean Leonard (from the TV show *House* and the movie *The Dead Poet's Society*). Good stuff!
Maine" susan sarandon, stephen king, and I am having a big blank here...he was started on walt disney and is still doing well today. Kurt Russell, that's his name. and me

Maya Angelou may have lived in Missouri, but she was born in tiny Stamps, Ark. Also from AR: Buddy Jewell, country singer, General of the Army Douglas McArthur (born in Little Rock), and of course, former President Bill Clinton (and borrowing from the person from TX, not all of us are proud of THIS one, either.)
Former wider receiver of the Denver Broncos - Steve Watson. He is from Delaware and he even went to my high school before me. Joe Biden is from Delaware and is one of the many candidates for next president.
Dennis Farina lives in my town still. (Law and Order) There are several Cusaks here also. Joan is very sweet. Most of the Chicago News people live here on weekends. In fact I've seen a lot of movie stars here. Too many to mention. Where is here? New Buffalo Michigan. I forgot Roger Ebert lives down the beach from me. Get well Roger.
Johnny Cash who is distantly related to my step father but he doesn't really acknowledge the fact. He assumes that because Johnny is rich and he's not that he is considered beneath Johnny, so why bother to try and establish a relationship. I understand that Johnny's father and his father were 2nd cousins and really close growing up.
Scottie Pippen: Played for the Chicgo Bulls at the same time as Michael Jordan did. A word of interest here. Scottie is from Hamburg, where my husband's family is from. When they were growing up, they would play basketball on the playground courts together in the summers when Mike would go to visit his grandmother. Mike is 6'6" but in Junior high Scottie was not! LOL
