And I am sure that the famous people living are VERY happy that there were no specific names of current residents were listed. Lets keep up the great work.

I’m sure there some famous shysters around but they’re flying under the radar.

Me too. But, unlike you, I'm nobody special. But, my wife thinks I'm special. Does that count? 🤓

We are all famous in someone else's heart and mind. Probably a lot more than some of the celebrities in the tabloids at the supermarket check-out stands.

I'm sure that OJ lives here---oh, wait, he no, ahhh, forget it. I did see his white Bronco down @ LSL.

Not living in the Villages (I don't think) but Megan Boone, who was the lead actress on the Blacklist TV show is the granddaughter of Gary Morse. Per Wikipedia:

Boone was born in Petoskey, Michigan and raised in The Villages, Florida. Her parents relocated there when she was a child to be closer to her grandparents.[3] Her grandfather, billionaire H. Gary Morse, was the developer of The Villages; her mother, Jennifer Parr, is the Director of Sales.[4] [5]

So there's that.

Thanks for sharing that. Elizabeth Keen... wow, I had never put that together. Loved the Blacklist. When I shared it with my wife, she was floored and said "how did we not know that"??? Too funny, says she grew up in The Villages... kind of wild.

Not looking for joke answers. A serious question.

As this is a lower middle class retirement community I doubt it.

[FredMitchell]

Yes. Reported pretty much every week in the "You May Know..." articles in the Daily Sun.

Every nurse, firefighter, law officer, doctor, teacher. Every human who shows kindness to animals and others. Those are the people who are held in high esteem in my world.We put too much glory on sports and Hollywood. The average humans are the real heros. The Veterans who hold our Flag high. The Special ed aide who holds the hand of the person who is disabled. The janitor who cleans up the mess the " entitled " leave behind. We are all famous,we are all special. We survive and even enjoy daily life.

[donfey]

Great answer.

There may not be many what you could call “famous” people living here, there are many, many interesting people living here. Retired from many walks of life and with interesting histories Some very rich and some not so much. All are important
