Yes I know he is in Arizona coaching, still has home in the villages. After leaving Michigan, Rich did color broadcast for college games.

Some Morses live here.

Surely there are more. I thought everyone is famous for 15 minutes. :-)

I'm a legend in my own mind.

Norm Lewis...long time great TV weatherman from Baltimore, MD. I think it was WBAL (not sure) wonder if he's loving the rain.

One of the Doggie Doo Run Run regulars was among his many jobs a racer of cars. Would not call him famous but his name does show up in pictures of various regional races.

You have to be in movies though to play the Kevin Bacon game. He has been sin so many different movies of all kinds though that almost every well known actor will show up within these six degrees.

Not to belabor the pointless, but most actors would be within one or two degrees of Kevin Bacon. I am within two, for example; my second cousin was married for years to David Hasselhoff and they are friendly with Kevin Bacon.

I get what you mean. I know KathieI who is a cousin of Ann Bancroft....

I'm kinda famous....in name.
 

My maiden name is McCoy, I am one of the "real" McCoys!

Close enough. That counts.

Seems we're (surprisingly) quickly running out of famous TVers.

I'll bet there's a few still layin' low out there. Don't blame 'em....

Cool. I heard that many of the McCoys have married Hatfields.

When we move down there, my mother-in law...Betty Crocker..will be coming with us.

We must be cousins. My maiden name is McCoy as well.

I'll bet she's not the "real McCoy" though.http://www.ilovewavs.com/Effects/Mus...%20Rimshot.wav

There was a pretty good photographer--Debra Raskin-- who used to come to Doggie Doo Run Run who has won some various awards and the like. She visited the Villages but am not sure she ever lived here. Have not seen her though near the Villages--Oxford-- since February 2012.

"Hurricane horses" is one of hers. http://www.nationalphotoawards.com/d...stwinners.html

Tony Snow's dad, stepmother and sister-in-law live in The Villages.

KATHIE I is a cousin of ANNE BANCROFT?

Kathie! We didn't know that!! Was she nice as a kid and share her dolls?

Mrs. Robinson!!

https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...054-post2.html Check out KathieI's post about the passing of Charlton Heston in which she mentioned this.

Anne Bancroft is a cousin to "The Mayor?"

:::BigApplause:Anne Bancroft is also her own mother's daughter!!:22yikes:

NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!!
:1rotfl:

Had forgotten that KathieI is the Mayor of TOTV. Does that make Graciegirl the Sheriff??

I just saw this on Facebook and with the nature of this thread I thought many of you would enjoy it!

That's until they drag you to Rock of Ages for the 4th time in less than two weeks. :D

You'll be happy to know that there are 15 more showings/opportunities in the next three days! Be glad I don't know how to contact them to let them know! :throwtomatoes:

:1rotfl:

That's a scary thought. They went back West though. They were going to get each and every one of their friends to see it so they could reference it every which way.

Tal, you've certainly proved that you are a loving grandparent. I saw Rock of Ages last week, and if my grandkids wanted to see it, I'd pay their way and wait outside.

I am just a lowly member of the squirt gun posse.

I am just kidding, Admin.

How about the most famous couple known around the world. I'm surprised everyone missed this. They appear in every Villages Christmas parade: Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus.

Also, several years ago there was a retired White House Chef living in The Villages. He was a long time Chef to several U.S. presidents. I think he might have been a dessert chef.

Then Lou Ferrigno's (The Incredible Hulk) wife was interviewed. I think her sister lives here. She said she wanted to move here but Lou was reluctant for some reason. And she didn't want to force the issue because, well, you know what happens when he gets angry.

This is quite unlikely since he has kids that are too young to be residents.

No this is true. He purchased I believe in 2010. Has large family. Some of his extended family will stay her also. Very large large home. Cannot remember the village.His children come for short visits.

Did you know the CEO of RyanAir owns a home here.

A couple who has another home, I will just say, somewhere else, and also has a home in The Villages...had a room from their other home on the Television show, Million Dollar Rooms on HGTV.

The lovely thing about this place is that we have just ordinary folks of all kinds, all of an age, all who did something different for a living and for some it brought them fame and fortune for others it brought them security and wisdom and for all it brought them to THIS place.

Smart folks, I'd say.

We are getting so many new residents from what used to be considered the "posh" parts of Florida: Boca and West Palm and Marco Island.

We all live here like the rich and famous.

One of the people who brought us Saving Private Ryan has parents who live in the Villages. She would have received an Academy Award if this movie had taken Best Picture. It lost to Shakespeare in Love. Saving Private Ryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still seems like a bad outcome. Never understood the Academy voters choosing Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan.

Fred Geier, former Marine 1 pilot during Clinton and Reagan administrations.

Haven't seen him at the West Virginia Club.
