Famous Illinoisans
List Illinoisans who have become famous, past or present, doesnt matter. I'll list some that I know, please add to the list if you know more. Some would question why I didnt list Abraham Lincoln, but he was not born in Illinois.
 Please keep the list for natives. Oh, feel free to include bands and band members too. Here goes...Bill Murray The Belushi brothers Ronald Reagan Cindy Crawford Jane Addams Wyatt Earp Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) Disturbed Hillary Clinton Donald Rumsfeld Adrienne Curry Walt Disney Denise Richards Red Grange Raquel Welch Joe Mantegna Smoking Popes Chevelle Dennis Farina Billy Zane Fall Out Boy Bob Bryar (My Chemical Romance) Chris Klein Mike Alstott Simeon Rice John Lynch Barack Obama Dick Butkus Donovan McNabb Da Brat Isiah Thomas Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) Tom Berenger Joan Cusack John Cusack R. Kelly Harrison Ford Hugh Hefner Michael Crichton John Malkovich Ernest Hemingway Carl Sandburg Gary Sinise Pat Sajack Mr. T Jenny McCarthy Kill Hannah Daryl Hannah Vince Vaughn Last edited by Steve-o; 01-24-2008 at 05:08 PM..

Obama is not an Illinois native. In fact, he didn't move here until he was an adult; Liz Phair was born in New England; not all of the Smashing Pumpkins are Illinois natives; George Pullman was from New York; Kanye West was born in Atlanta; Jeremy Piven was born in New York...

Speaking of Smashing Pumpkins, this is one of the best short comedy clips ever...

If we're going to list the Smoking Popes, may as well add Screeching Weasel and, of course, the Vindictives.
