  18. Katharine Hepburn, lived in my town for all of my life, she was a lovely lady and even though she lived in the really rich portion of town, she denied having ANYTHING be named after her, she came into all the local markets, she was a real sweet lady.

    There's a few other celebs that visit, or live nearby, it's cool but it's not like we ever see them, Katharine was really down to earth. We're building a theater for her on the main street right now.

    EDIT: oh yea! I almost forgot Vinny Baker lives in my town too, he's a basketball player. He donated a ton of money to my high school for a new gym and work out room, my dad actually did construction in his house :)
