Not looking for joke answers. A serious question.

In the past there have been various articles that referred to an individual who had appeared (as a child) int he film Gone with the Wind. Also a reference once to someone who had been involved in the development of "Tupperware". Then there was the "rumor" that the in-laws of radio/TV personality Sean Hannity (his ex-wife's parents ?) once lived here. My guess would be most people of means and notoriety would chose upscale communities that offer very tight security and, of course, come with significant expense (like private streets and roads, calls to residents who must give consent for all visitors, etc.). Just a guess ! Long ago Nancy Lopez was a frequent visitor when the rights to her name were used and it was generally know that she had been gifted a home here which she used during those visits. Arnold Palmer also made appearances when he was compensated for the use of his name/endorsement, but did not live here of course.
