Celebrities in our midst
 
A few years back there was a fun thread that listed notable Villagers. Since it has been a while, and so many new folks call the Villages home, I thought it might be fun to see if we have new famous, or infamous residents.

I recently saw that Rennie Stennett lives here. He was a fabulous hitter on the Pittsburgh Pirates. In fact he has a major league record of SEVEN hits in one nine inning game!

Any others?

(The Late) Whitey Bolger? He lived slightly "off campus" in his own bubble. :D

I'd be interested in who were/are some of the previously listed notables. I once thought hero pilot Sully Sullenberger lived here because he was interviewed on TV a few years ago from The Villages. Maybe he was on a Lifestyle rental thing.

I have heard that Freddie Cannon lives here. I'd love to get in touch with him as he is from my home town. My father was friendly with his father.

IO'm not asking for his information, but if anyone knows him I'd appreciate if they could give him my info.

If you can contact him, PM me and I'll give my contact info.

Leno was born April 28, 1950 in New Rochelle, New York. His homemaker mother, Catherine (née Muir; 1911–1993) died 25 years ago.

I was once mentioned in our towns local paper, when I scored the winning goal in an inter schools soccer match, back in 1951. :icon_wink:

Steve Carell of The Office parents lived here, I believe in Summerhill, although I read his mother died in 2016 at age 90. Not sure if his father continues to live here.

I believe 2009 British Open winner golfer Stewart Cink's parents live here, I think in Mallory or Caroline.

There you go ruining a good story with facts. :)

Heard this recently so looked it up and sure enough.....

Peter Nero - Wikipedia


"He's currently in the process of moving to The Villages active adult community in Florida."

I assume ( we all know another interpretation of that) Nancy Lopez still has a home here!
