Considering you’re foreigners, it’s not really all that bad that you don’t know exactly why Rosa Parks was famous, but it’s still funny to me to think of women never riding buses until 1955 lol
Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus and give up her seat to a white person, which Blacks were required to do at the time. She was arrested for it. I worked with her late in her life, and she was a very sweet lady.
@drwforever1 Yeah. Rosa Parks had nothing to do with politics. 😆 YOU are the one that described her historical political actions. She fought the Democrats hard and won. I'm sorry if you dont like facts about your party being stated.
Agreed, although Morgan Freeman is huge. Dolly is who anyone that knows anything whatsoever about Tennessee thinks about immediately when they think "Tennessee"
Agreed, these are hardly the most famous people from their respective states. It's a flawed list, and really needed context. A narrower list would make more sense. Who is the most famous actor from each state? Who is the most famous Musician from each state? Who is the most famous historical figure... author, painter, politician, most decorated soldier, who is the wealthiest person... It sounds like a chatGPT video, or possibly some kid asking "Alexa, who is the most famous person in _______"
Lol very good to know posa parks was affiliated with a bus most Americans your age would not know who she was sadly. She was a black lady who refused to ride in the back of the bus which in pre civil rights south got her arrested and really set off some good change.
John Wayne made a lot of war movies, without ever going. He was the hero in them. I much prefer Audie Murphy war movies, as he was an actual hero, not fake.
@@davidnorris1093 even though he grew up in NC, Jordan was born in NYC. That's why he was in the New York section. it's dumb in my opinion but whatever.
Rosa Parks - On Dec. 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Ala., Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus and give up her seat to a white person because she didn't believe she should have to move because of her race, even though that was the law. In fact, Parks was already sitting in the black section in the back of the bus when she refused to give up her seat and was arrested as a result. The United States Congress has honored her as "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement". Also CONGRATZ on the little one!! So happy for you guys. Here's to a healthy and happy pregnancy.
John Wayne is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. He started his career in the late twenties and continued until his death in 1979 at the age of 72. It's been said that he appeared in more movies that are considered truly great than any other actor. Some of his best are Stagecoach, The Quite Man, The Searchers, Rio Grande, Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Horse Soldiers, True Grit the original not the remake with Jeff Bridges although it's not bad. Anyway that's just a handful as I said he made a lot of great movies although I neglected to mention his last movie The Shootist which is a very good film with a great cast I highly recommend it or for that matter any of his films.
I always figured he was well known globally since all my friends know who he is and most of my friends aren’t from the US. But then again I was born in ‘91 so maybe my age is showing? 😅
Minnesota's most famous person is usually a toss-up between Bob Dylan & Prince. I am from & still live in Northeastern Minnesota on the Iron Range, so Bob Dylan went to school about 25 miles from my hometown. Chris Pratt was born in the same hospital as I was - actually, every baby since about 1950 was born there if their parents lived in the surrounding towns. Chris Pratt's parents lived only a few miles from my parents house, but they moved away when he was pretty young. I am 7 years older than Chris & we would have been on the same school bus route before his family moved - I don't remember him specifically, but I did go to school with a few Pratt's. Judy Garland should be listed - she's actually related to my son (his paternal grandparents are from the Grand Rapids area).
I guess being really young, might be why, but I thought everyone knew who John Wayne was. On your movie channel you've got to do his movies. He plays in westerns and military movies and a few other genres. My favorite movie by him is "McLintock".
I can't believe they didn't list Dolly Parton as the most famous from Tennessee. She was born and raised there, and has probably done more for the state than any other individual. Morgan Freeman was born there, but was sent to Mississippi as an infant.
The Oklahoma one failed to mention country singers Toby Keith, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton, Ronnie Dunn(of Brooks & Dunn), Gary LeVox(lead singer of Rascal Flatts), and athletes Jim Thorpe and Mickey Mantle.
Another famous actor from my hometown, Madison, Wisconsin, is Bradley Whitford, best known for The West Wing, The Handmaids Tale and the father in Get Out. We went to the Same High School as well, with a couple decades in between.
Don’t feel bad if you don’t know everything. I’m an American and I didn’t even know Sarah Palin was from Idaho. I thought she was from Alaska since, she was the governor there. And she was also John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 Presidential Election.

H.P. Lovecraft (from Rhode Island) has had a huge influence on horror, science fiction, fantasy, and just plain pop culture in general. He was a major influence on a young Stephen King, and Stephen King is arguably the most influential U.S. writer of the last 3+ decades.
3:37. They know some TH-cam guy named "MrBeast," but not John Wayne?? The EFF??? Hahaha! John Wayne is one of the most famous American actors of ALL TIME!!
@bobbyflynn6251 He acted for over 50 years. I don't expect younger people to necessarily have seen his movies, but his name alone should ring SOME bells. They knew Frank Sinatra. I don't even listen to much of him as I am Generation X. That was MY grandfather's era.
It's amusing that their two picks for South Dakota, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and wrestler/football player Brock Lesnar, are both much more associated with the state of Minnesota.
Rosa Parks wasnt even the first to ride in the white section of the bus, but she was the first to be clever enough to bring a journalist with her. I've been on the bus, it's in the Smithsonian now
Rosa Parks, was a big part of the Civil Rights Movement. She was the first not only black individual to not give up a seat to a white person in the deep south during the most racist and dangerous times of our county (Jim Crow laws); she also was a black female and that was even more bold! I applaud her courage and bravery for standing up for her rights.

Country music does not have the worldwide appeal that it does in the US. Morgan Freeman’s movies have had worldwide success. In Tennessee I’m sure Dolly is more famous, but that wasn’t the purpose of the video. The question as I took it was who has the most worldwide fame from each state.
I think what they did here was the most famous today. If they were to go by when each person was at their height of fame, Neil Armstrong would definitely be more popular. When he stepped on the moon for the first time the entire country stopped and listened and watched. While nearly everyone knows LeBron James's name, there are a lot of people that don't know why they know his name, only that they know his name.
These rankings feel like most famous in the moment rankings, but not through history rankings. Give it less than 50 years and the honorable mentions maybe the top, or still there while the most famous may not exist in the minds of the public.
my great uncle used to work at madonna's family winery, and some of my friends are good friends with tim allen and his family. michigan is a gem in the summer
Wait.. so they put Selena Gomez and Jamie Foxx as honorable mentions... but not George Strait, who has more number 1 hits than any other musician in history, is called "King of Country" and "King of Texas", has over 200 awards and sold close to 200 million CDs? SUUUUURRRREEEEE
Elvis was born just across the Tennessee border in Northern Mississippi but lived basically his whole life in Tennessee. The opposite was true for Morgan Freeman.
Being from Kansas, I didn't even know Mr. Beast was from here, and I don't watch his channel. Amelia Earhart is a good one, but I would say songwriter Melissa Ethridge, Tool drummer Danny Carey, country singer Martina McBride, or actress Kirstie Alley would be more so than Mr. Beast or Buster Keaton.
Hello, I've been binge watching the channel and noticed you apologize for pausing. Personally, I don't mind it at all. I like hearing your opinions and thoughts. I've come to see your REACTION! It would be boring to just watch the video then at the end go, great video. Anyway, keep up the great work and congratulations on the baby!
I have to agree that Harry Truman is the most famous Missourian, followed by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemons). Please google John Wayne who is one of the most famous American actors ever. BTW congratulations!
Jackson pollack was known for abstract and performance arts. They were something to see back when he lived. They had the tendency to get very messy and involved. Jackson lived for art and often threw himself into the new world he created.
I live in West Virginia currently and I'm not supprised that Steve Harvey is at the top of that list but I'm very supprised that Katherine Johnson didn't make it on the list. Historically she is one of the role models I looked up to as a kid seeing as how she was one of the first black women to work at NASA and one of the people to do the calculations for not only the United States first man to orbit the moon but also our first moon landing.
In 1955, Parks rejected a bus driver's order to leave a row of four seats in the "colored" section once the white section had filled up and move to the back of the bus. Her defiance sparked a successful boycott of buses in Montgomery a few days later. In 1979, the NAACP awarded Rosa Parks the Spingarn Medal, their highest honor. In 1980, the NAACP awarded Rosa Parks the Martin Luther King Jr. Award. In 1983, Rosa Parks was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.

I can not believe you did not know who John Wayne was, as he was one of the greatest movie actors 169 movies/director's/producers for over 50 years (Westerns lie True Grit, The Searchers, Rio Grand, Rio Lobo, Alamo and Military like the Green Berets, the Longest Day, Sands of Iwo Jima, in Hams Way to name just a few off the top of my head) You need to cheek some of them out.

Louis Armstrong was considered one of the most influential and famous jazz musicians in U.S. history. He lived from 1901 to 1971 and had a music career that lasted 5 decades. He played trumpet and also sang a few songs that we still listen to a lot today, like “What a Wonderful World,” which you may recognize from the Toy Story movies! Also, there is no way that Eminem beats Mark Twain, the author of the atom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books!
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco while his dad, a traveling Chinese opera star, was touring the US. Bruce was then raised in Hong Kong where he learned martial arts before returning to the US. Bruce attended UW: University of Washington and met his wife while doing a demo at Garfield high school. He became a resident of Washington state, which is why he's buried up here.
I guess my definition of "famous" is very different from the people who made this video. How you put any of those North Carolina guys over Michael Jordan (or Andy Griffith) is beyond me.
Because Michael Jordan is listed under New York. He was born in New York, but his parents were either in New York visiting or his mom was visiting, I don't remember. He did grow up in North Carolina.
@@justinweatherford8129 That makes sense! And I’ve done the same thing with the George W. And H.W. Bush, because they owned ranches in Texas for a long time, but they were actually born in a different state!

back in segregation by law you could only sit in the front half of the bus (super comfortable and cleaned regularly) if you were white… and rosa basically said fuck you lol and we love her for it 🤣 just sitting there looking out the window ❤
I was surprised you didn’t know John Wayne! He was in a gazillion western movies. But then, you’re young enough that he was likely gone before you were born. But then I don’t know who Mr Beast is, so you can tell we’re from different generations. I really thought North Dakota would be Lawrence Welk. Some of these picks make no sense to me.
I don't know John Wayne either. Probably should've been in an Indiana Jones movie just to make his legacy even more recognizable and memorable to younger audiences.
Probably has something to do with the kind of western movies he did. Most of them were the old school kind of 50s and 60s movies were you can't have too much violence/blood or bad language and the stories were pretty simple. My dad loves John Wayne but I'm more fond of Clint Eastwood westerns just for the grittiness. Although my favorite would have to be tombstone just because of how great Val Kilmer was
I just want to congratulate you of your upcoming blessed event. I pray for a happy and healthy baby. Your baby will be lucky to have you as its parents. I’m a loyal fan and would love to see the progression and then your beautiful baby as well. I’m so happy for you.
Spielberg was born in Cincinnati. I am sure he is way more associated with Arizona though. It is almost weird that "born in" isn't really the same as "from/grew up".

As someone from Minnesota, Prince is WAY more famous than Bob Dylan. And Price actually lived here in and called Minnesota his home his entire life. Bob Dylan left Minnesota in his early 20s I think it was. My opinion, Prince should have been number one! On another note, we have a ton of famous people that were originally from MN.
Well, it's normal that you don't know some people. You are young. Marlon Brando is the actor who played the Godfather and Stephen King is a world-famous horror writer. Mark Twain lower than Eminem? Oh dear.
I’d argue that Trey Parker & Matt Stone (creators of South Park) are more famous in Colorado, but I’m biased. And my family owns a mountain house in Fairplay/South Park and there’s always tons of tourists there for South Park.
@@dgpatter South Park is nearly 30 years old now and two years ago, the creators signed a $900 million deal for more many more episodes. The last thing Tim Allen has done of note was another Santa Clause movie.
@@dgpatter South Park clips from the Casa Bonita episode are featured in the Colorado History Museum. Trey was mentioned in the “honorary mentions” of the video.
Glad you linked the original video. The creator is an extremely small TH-camr and the description says "most famous person in every state based on MY OPINION". 😂 That's why this list seems so off for everyone. It's some random kid's opinion who has like 2,000 subscribers. I was going to say, the list seemed WAY off.
Ross Parks was a black woman in the south. Blk people were not allowed to ride In the front of the bus, with the white people. Rosa parks got on the bus and Refused to move. She went to jail and a bus strike happen. This was part of the Civil Rights time. Rosa Parks is an important figure in African American History and woman’s history 🇺🇸
I have a feeling the makers of this video used birthplaces to classify where people are from which would explain why so many seem to be listed from the wrong states. Most people claim the states where they grew up or where they achieved the most notoriety as adults as their home state, not necessarily their state of birth.
i think these most famous people are just the choice of who ever look up the famous people and chose their own im sure if they sent out surveys a lot of other people would have been chose as most famous
Eminem must have jsut been born in Missouri because he spent his childhood in Detroit , even his toddler years were there , I’d associate him with Michigan
A good argument could be made that Neil Armstrong should be higher than anyone on this list altogether. I guess it depends on how you measure being famous. Any American knows who George Washington is but outside of the US Neil Armstrong might be more well known.

Chris Farley should have got an honorable mention for Wi.
my great uncle used to work at madonna's family winery, and some of my friends are good friends with tim allen and his family. michigan is a gem in the summer
Stephewn king is one of the greatest Horror Novel writers ever books suck as Carrie, IT, Pet Cemetary , The Shining to name a few
Yes, unfortunately I liked him more when he didn’t share his political views. And most of his books from 2000 on are hardly defined as horror anymore.
1:37 I love it when Chester Bennington gets love. RIP.
Same 💔
But he should of been the one, not Emma Stone, how many people in Arizona would vote her #1 over a music Icon like Chester Bennington?
Did I just hear that kid say she didn't know who was 'John Wayne' was? Take away her passport immediately!!!!
Sorry I don't know John Wayne either. Maybe he should've been in an Indiana Jones movie. Pfft
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Funny, you probably John Wayne was one of the inspirations for the Indiana Jones character.
Not know who John Wayne is might possibly be considered criminal in these here United States. He is one of the most loved actors of all time.
Liking him should be considered criminal but you did come from a more racist time
Wait.. so they put Selena Gomez and Jamie Foxx as honorable mentions... but not George Strait, who has more number 1 hits than any other musician in history, is called "King of Country" and "King of Texas", has over 200 awards and sold close to 200 million CDs? SUUUUURRRREEEEE
They also missed Kelly Clarkson and Willie Nelson, as well as actors like Steve Martin and Owen Wilson!
John Wayen is a legend. He's also know as The Duke.
Amelia Earhart and Buster Keaton are considerably more famous than what’s his name you tuber unless they are just polling people under 35.
That made me shake my head. I thought Elvis was from Tennessee and Morgan Freeman was from Mississippi. But, it was the opposite.
Elvis was born in Tupelo MS. Morgan Freeman has a home in MS now but I don't know where he was born
Elvis was born just across the Tennessee border in Northern Mississippi but lived basically his whole life in Tennessee. The opposite was true for Morgan Freeman.
Being from Kansas, I didn't even know Mr. Beast was from here, and I don't watch his channel. Amelia Earhart is a good one, but I would say songwriter Melissa Ethridge, Tool drummer Danny Carey, country singer Martina McBride, or actress Kirstie Alley would be more so than Mr. Beast or Buster Keaton.
Hello, I've been binge watching the channel and noticed you apologize for pausing. Personally, I don't mind it at all. I like hearing your opinions and thoughts. I've come to see your REACTION! It would be boring to just watch the video then at the end go, great video. Anyway, keep up the great work and congratulations on the baby!
I have to agree that Harry Truman is the most famous Missourian, followed by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemons). Please google John Wayne who is one of the most famous American actors ever. BTW congratulations!
for Michigan, Madonna is good but I think I would have picked Stevie Wonder.
Yep what a legend.
Jackson pollack was known for abstract and performance arts. They were something to see back when he lived. They had the tendency to get very messy and involved. Jackson lived for art and often threw himself into the new world he created.
I live in West Virginia currently and I'm not supprised that Steve Harvey is at the top of that list but I'm very supprised that Katherine Johnson didn't make it on the list. Historically she is one of the role models I looked up to as a kid seeing as how she was one of the first black women to work at NASA and one of the people to do the calculations for not only the United States first man to orbit the moon but also our first moon landing.
I think Jewel would be the most famous person from Alaska.
I would like to add one more for Vermont, Actor Christopher Lloyd from the Back to the future movies is from Weston ,Vermont.
In 1955, Parks rejected a bus driver's order to leave a row of four seats in the "colored" section once the white section had filled up and move to the back of the bus. Her defiance sparked a successful boycott of buses in Montgomery a few days later. In 1979, the NAACP awarded Rosa Parks the Spingarn Medal, their highest honor. In 1980, the NAACP awarded Rosa Parks the Martin Luther King Jr. Award. In 1983, Rosa Parks was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.
Singer Stevie Nicks, Actress Lynda Carter (OG Wonder Woman), Activist Caesar Chavez, and Senator John McCain are from Arizona as well
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the only Architect anyone has ever heard of, is from Wisconsin. I swear, this is one of those click bait listicls where they leave things out to get comments for the algorithm. I am giving you the comment because it's not your fault. The original video maker can suck it.
I can not believe you did not know who John Wayne was, as he was one of the greatest movie actors 169 movies/director's/producers for over 50 years (Westerns lie True Grit, The Searchers, Rio Grand, Rio Lobo, Alamo and Military like the Green Berets, the Longest Day, Sands of Iwo Jima, in Hams Way to name just a few off the top of my head) You need to cheek some of them out.
Where was President Grant didn’t get a mention. Did you realise there was a president grant he was one of my ancestors. Who is John Wayne?😂
Remember guys, there are 48 states besides Florida and New York.
But they have larger populations so you’d think that more famous people came from them
should react to john wayne best known for western movies big jake, Mcleintock, true grit (OG), rooster cogburn, the green berets, donovan's reef, the longest day, the man who shot liberty valance, and sands of iwo jima. just to name a few
Louis Armstrong was considered one of the most influential and famous jazz musicians in U.S. history. He lived from 1901 to 1971 and had a music career that lasted 5 decades. He played trumpet and also sang a few songs that we still listen to a lot today, like “What a Wonderful World,” which you may recognize from the Toy Story movies!
Also, there is no way that Eminem beats Mark Twain, the author of the atom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books!
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco while his dad, a traveling Chinese opera star, was touring the US. Bruce was then raised in Hong Kong where he learned martial arts before returning to the US.
Bruce attended UW: University of Washington and met his wife while doing a demo at Garfield high school.
He became a resident of Washington state, which is why he's buried up here.
I guess my definition of "famous" is very different from the people who made this video. How you put any of those North Carolina guys over Michael Jordan (or Andy Griffith) is beyond me.
Because Michael Jordan is listed under New York. He was born in New York, but his parents were either in New York visiting or his mom was visiting, I don't remember. He did grow up in North Carolina.
Being from Missouri means knowing in "Lose Yourself", Eminem definitely said "Ope, there goes gravity."
How is Mr Beast the most famous person from my home state? I was expecting to see either Eisenhower or Amelia Earhart.
Eisenhower was born in Texas, though. 😬
@@trintron6820 I only remembered visiting his home in Kansas, when I was a child. I guess that I always assumed that he was born here.
@@justinweatherford8129 That makes sense! And I’ve done the same thing with the George W. And H.W. Bush, because they owned ranches in Texas for a long time, but they were actually born in a different state!
Sarah Palin is more infamous than famous where as Aaron Paul is not only more famous, he is more universally liked.
Who in hell put together a list for Tennessee, and didn’t include Dolly Parton? Blasphemy!
Louis Armstrong. Fantastic trumpet playef
Hello from Michigan. Congratulations on the baby. you'll be a great parent.
They had Eminem in the wrong state! He’s from Detroit!
@@Erinnem He was born in St.Joseph Missouri, spent most of his childhood in Missouri, but he is Famous for Detroit, Michigan, which they could of used both for him.
@@michaelmardling3152 thanks for the info I don’t really know too much about the man
back in segregation by law you could only sit in the front half of the bus (super comfortable and cleaned regularly) if you were white… and rosa basically said fuck you lol and we love her for it 🤣 just sitting there looking out the window ❤
I was surprised you didn’t know John Wayne! He was in a gazillion western movies. But then, you’re young enough that he was likely gone before you were born. But then I don’t know who Mr Beast is, so you can tell we’re from different generations. I really thought North Dakota would be Lawrence Welk. Some of these picks make no sense to me.
I don't know John Wayne either. Probably should've been in an Indiana Jones movie just to make his legacy even more recognizable and memorable to younger audiences.
Probably has something to do with the kind of western movies he did. Most of them were the old school kind of 50s and 60s movies were you can't have too much violence/blood or bad language and the stories were pretty simple. My dad loves John Wayne but I'm more fond of Clint Eastwood westerns just for the grittiness. Although my favorite would have to be tombstone just because of how great Val Kilmer was
I just want to congratulate you of your upcoming blessed event. I pray for a happy and healthy baby. Your baby will be lucky to have you as its parents. I’m a loyal fan and would love to see the progression and then your beautiful baby as well. I’m so happy for you.
Arizona: Barry Goldwater, John McCain, Sandra Day O'CONNOR, Steven Spielberg, Stevie Nicks, Alice Cooper
Spielberg was born in Cincinnati. I am sure he is way more associated with Arizona though. It is almost weird that "born in" isn't really the same as "from/grew up".
@@buckeyethor he grew up in Scottsdale attended Scottsdale H.S. started his movie making there. John McCain also was from Panama City Panama, did you know? But everyone associates him with AZ
The guy from main wrote Carrie it , lots of horror books
As someone from Minnesota, Prince is WAY more famous than Bob Dylan. And Price actually lived here in and called Minnesota his home his entire life. Bob Dylan left Minnesota in his early 20s I think it was. My opinion, Prince should have been number one! On another note, we have a ton of famous people that were originally from MN.
Well, it's normal that you don't know some people. You are young. Marlon Brando is the actor who played the Godfather and Stephen King is a world-famous horror writer.
Mark Twain lower than Eminem? Oh dear.
hilarious, definetly for the under 30 crowd 'cuz at 67 i didn't recognize half the peoples listed ...
Jessica Alba is from Alaska. But they say some baseball player nobody has ever heard of is the most popular. LOL
you never heard of Curt Schilling before? he is a World Series hero for the Red Sox
Curt also pitched for the Arizona Diamonbacks when they beat the Yankees in the 2001 World Series.
I’d argue that Trey Parker & Matt Stone (creators of South Park) are more famous in Colorado, but I’m biased. And my family owns a mountain house in Fairplay/South Park and there’s always tons of tourists there for South Park.
The fact that you felt the need to say who they are (I had no idea) just demonstrates that you know they aren’t more famous than Tim Allen.
@@dgpatter South Park is nearly 30 years old now and two years ago, the creators signed a $900 million deal for more many more episodes. The last thing Tim Allen has done of note was another Santa Clause movie.
@@dgpatter South Park clips from the Casa Bonita episode are featured in the Colorado History Museum. Trey was mentioned in the “honorary mentions” of the video.
Glad you linked the original video. The creator is an extremely small TH-camr and the description says "most famous person in every state based on MY OPINION". 😂 That's why this list seems so off for everyone. It's some random kid's opinion who has like 2,000 subscribers. I was going to say, the list seemed WAY off.
Montana - Dana Carvey, Carol O'Connor(Archie Bunker), Peter Fonda , let's just add some Adult Film Stars - Tera Patrick, Jenna Jameson
Ross Parks was a black woman in the south. Blk people were not allowed to ride In the front of the bus, with the white people. Rosa parks got on the bus and Refused to move. She went to jail and a bus strike happen. This was part of the Civil Rights time. Rosa Parks is an important figure in African American History and woman’s history 🇺🇸
I have a feeling the makers of this video used birthplaces to classify where people are from which would explain why so many seem to be listed from the wrong states. Most people claim the states where they grew up or where they achieved the most notoriety as adults as their home state, not necessarily their state of birth.
Kansas claims Eisenhower though🥲
Millie, I have two new favorite words for you. Pregnancy brain. It exists. And as a bonus, you can use it as an excuse for brain farts.
I would have listed Denzel Washington for New York, at least in the honorable mentions.
i think these most famous people are just the choice of who ever look up the famous people and chose their own im sure if they sent out surveys a lot of other people would have been chose as most famous
This is more where people were born rather than where they’re “from”. Kanye is clearly from Chicago, Bush is obviously from Texas.
Elvis wasn't from Tennessee. It's where he eventually settled and bought Graceland, but he was born and raised early in life in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Eminem must have jsut been born in Missouri because he spent his childhood in Detroit , even his toddler years were there , I’d associate him with Michigan
A good argument could be made that Neil Armstrong should be higher than anyone on this list altogether. I guess it depends on how you measure being famous. Any American knows who George Washington is but outside of the US Neil Armstrong might be more well known.
Nope. Washington's name is everywhere. I have relatives outside of the US who don't know Neil Armstrong. It might also be a generational thing.
I object to Tim Allen being the most famous person from Colorado, when we also have Molly Brown.
I am so disappointed in the list for Texas. Did people suddenly forget Sam Houston, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Forest Whitacker?
