Default Famous people from Missouri

Here is a website with a list of famous people from Missouri, Famous People Born in Missouri or Living in Missouri

Many I never knew were from Missouri, Don Johnson from Miami Vise & Nash Bridges fame is from Flat Creek, I never heard of it, it's outside Cassville.

Lots of history in MO.

Thumbs up Informative list

On the website Rush Limbaugh is on the list of famous people born in Missouri , he is classified in the Television section but should be in the Comedians section...

Nice list, the entire website is about Missouri with bits of information.

Being a conservative but not agreeing with him about everything, I always looked at Rush as an entertainer, if he wasn't a loud mouth flamboyant radio host he wouldn't have a job, he markets himself well.

I imagine he would be a good entertainer whatever his radio subject was.

I notice that Missouri tends to claim a lot of folks that weren't actually born in the state - Daniel Boone jumped out at me. What's up with that? I don't see how they make the list if not born in MO.

Boone was born in Pennsylvania but lived in MO. He wasn't "from" MO

Inox, I thought the same thing, then I actually read what the website said, "famous people born or lived in Missouri most of their lives"

Two of the characters on The Office, Jenna Fischer (though born in Indiana she grew up in St. Louis and attended Truman State) and Phyllis Smith are both from Missouri. The site also seems to be missing Tom Akers, an astronaut from Eminence, and a math professor at UMR.
