I will be working on a list of famous singers from West Texas at some time in the future.

That's what I get for skimming down through the list so quickly. I just glanced at the thumbprint pic and thought it looked off, but didn't think much about that. So, ok good and thanks Kathryn.

I could have missed them, but off the top of my head, the following famous actors that are from Texas aren't on your list in the link the op posted.

Farrah Fawcet
Debbie Reynolds
Jamie Fox
Eva Longoria
Steve Martin
Ann Miller
Dennis Quaid
Patrick Swayzee
Owen Wilson
Dale Evans

I'm sure there are tons more. I'd venture to guess Texas probably has produced more "famous" actors than just about any other state.

I think he's trying to confine the list to actors from West Texas and out of your list Debbie Reynolds would fit the bill, being she's from El Paso.

There's Larry Hagman born in Forth Worth and Mary Martin who is from Weatherford and although they say Fort Worth is where the West begins and maybe it does in the sense of the stockyards, the cattle drives and the willingness to keep that spirit alive, geographically no. They're both considered north central Texas.
