Famous Pittsburghers? (Latrobe, Castle Shannon, Arnold: high school, movies, metro)

[ExPit]

Just a fun thread that may not catch any momentum, but I'm interested. What famous people are from Pittsburgh?

I'll start, Pearl S. Buck, Nobel Prize winning novelist was a native of the East End.

Gene Kelly: dancer, actor, singer, director, producer, choreographer

Jeff Goldblum aka Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park! Among many other movies.

I hate to ruin the fun (don't look if you don't want to!!!) but here is a mighty comprehensive list.

I did NOT know Demi Moore spent most of her childhood in Pittsburgh.

Omg, I order "Arnold Palmer's" ALL the time. It's my favorite drink. Actually, I've grown to love green tea/lemonade even more, but it's harder to find. God bless Starbucks!

I did not even know he was from Pittsburgh. That probably shows my age, it's probably common knowledge to many.

Neither did I. Army brat? Like Christina Aguillera, who went to high school in Wexford.

Yeah, I'm not gonna look, 'cause it will kill the thread, but glad it's there to refer back in the end.

How 'bout Dennis Miller, from Castle Shannon I think.

Yeah, graduate of Peabody High, as was Frank Gorshwin, "The Riddler" on the Batman TV show.
