Nobody famous born here, though Chuck Negron (# Dog Night singer) played basketball for Allan Hancock College. Quite a few actors came out of PCPA Theaterfest (Hancock)--Byron Jennings (mainly broadway, but saw him on Law & Order SVU once), Mercedes Ruehl, Mark Harelick, Kathy Bates. Also, that stupid Michael Jackson trial. Also, about 4 scenes from Sideways were filmed here. Other than that, I can't think of much that happened here..........
