Off the top of my head...

Al Snow, the wrestler
Phyllis Diller
Hugh Downs
Ben Rothlesberger (spelling?) was born here I think... then moved up to Findlay at a young age if I recall correctly.

...I'm probably forgetting a few others. John Dillinger's gang murdered our sherriff... not that he's from here, but that is one of our few claims to fame.

Hmm from my home town, Dawn Wells was born there and went to my elementary school, Brad Pitt went to UMC and Kate Capshaw lived and worked there for years. It's a big college and journalism town (Columbia Missouri) so probably a lot of famous folks went through there.

Where I live now (San Francisco) .... too many to say. I do live two blocks from Robin Williams.
