they moved to US when they were young and became famous
I'm trying to find out about foreign-born people that moved to America at young age and became famous. All I can think of right now is Jean Claude Van Damme and Arnold Schwarzenegger both moved to US at age 21 from Belgium and Austria respectively. Any input greatly appreciated.

Archibald Leach came from his native England to the US as part of an acrobatic troupe. When they returned home, he decided to stay. After some success in minor Broadway shows he went to Hollywood, became Cary Grant, and one of the greatest film stars His background in acrobatics is credited with his uniquely graceful style in pictures.
