The Polish Rifle? No shit? A legend among Polish NBA 3-point shooting specialists.

Hemingway lived here (Oak Park, IL) for awhile.

That guy who played the father on Fraiser lives here. Don't know if he's from here originally though. I ran into him a couple times at the local Dunkin' Donuts.

The town I currently live in had the winner from Project Runway Season 1....

Other celebrities (I used to live in Plookville too) are the guy that coaches the Boise State Football team and mass murderer Juan Corona.

If "lived in" is the qalification, I am proud to say that Edgard Varèse lived here, Gagelstraat 138 in Eindhoven, while composing Poème Électronique. He didn't like The Netherlands one little bit.
