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?"

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!

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

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.

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.

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