Greg - That is a very cool list indeed. I need to do one for Austin, perhaps showing which ones live here now (I know Dennis Quaid lives nearby, and Dan Rather has a home in Lakeway).

Jason,

Wasn't it Dennis Quaid who suggested that Austin be the "next Hollywood?"

Hey, what about my friend Nolan Ryan!

Hi Greg. I thought Anna Nicole was from Mexia? No?

One time I was in a Radio Shack in Houston and two members of ZZ Top came in. I always pretend not to notice when something like this happens but other people started asking them for autographs.

Shirley - I am always so grateful when people don't take my photo or hit me up for an autograph. I love when people like you pretend not to notice. ;)

Steve - your right! I wonder if that's close enough? lol.

Cindy - Oops! He's my favorite Baseball player of ALL time! When are you getting me an autographed ball?!

Now isn't bizarre that I know that fact? And more importantly, that I know how to pronounce the name of the town correctly!

Steve

Ever been to Mexia? ( MuHeyUH) :-)

I didn't know all those people were from Houston. Very interesting. I think of Shannon Elizabeth from Dancing with the Stars fame now.

Greg - That's a pretty impressive list! I might just have to create one for the Raleigh area!

I love ZZ Top. Nice idea for a local blog Greg but that guy in bold at the end of the list? He is famous in his own mind time. I love your blog and your off beat humor. Keep up the great work.

Greg- it seems to me that you have a star studded town! LOL I like Paddy's comment about the guy in the bold print....

Hey Trey... Yeah, believe it or not I actually know several non-famous folk from Mexia (MuHeyUH)... just briefly though.

Lori - Well thank u & yes, Paddy zapped me with a good one!

Paddy - good one girl!

Leesa - go for it, I'd love to hear who's from your neck of the woods!

Linda - I was shocked to find out she was from Houston..then again, all the pretty ladies are from Houston. ;)

Greg - Don't forget us Dallas girls. I might have to do a post on all the famous DFW famous people. I know all the recent reality show winners have been from the Dallas area - Nashville Star, Think you can Dance, American Gladitor and one of the Cooking shows. I think Texas has its fair share of famous individuals.

well hughlow Linda!! How could I forget about the women from "Big D." it goes without saying that all the women in Texas are pretty! :)

Wow....you do have a lot of famous people in your town. My little town only has 2 that I can think of: Ken Griffey Jr.'s wife- Melissa.......and actor Josh Lucas from Sweet Home Alabama. I am friends with Melissa and graduated with Josh.

Anna was born in Houston, raised in Mexia.

Hey Greg, How about George Herbert Walker Bush? He lives in Houston and lived there before. Does that count?

Shirely, sorta goes without saying I guess.... :) Now go meet Skip!
