My hometown is Phillipburg, NJ. I had no idea, so did a quick search, and still have no idea who any of these people are:
Charlie Berry (x2) both professional baseball players
Ned Bolcar, NFL player
DC Drake, a professional wrestler
Fiona, singer (maybe I have heard of her)
J. Robert Lennon, novelist
Jayne Mansfield, actress
Jim Ringo, NFL player
Yvonne Zima, ER actress
There's quite a few more congressmen and athletes in the mix. No big name people, though.

Jayne Mansfield was a famous actress of the 1950's and 60's, who was in movies similar to those of Marilyn Monroe. She died in a car accident in 1967. Her daughter is Mariska Hartigay of Law and Order SVU, who was lying down sleeping in the backseat when the car accident occured that killed her mother.

It was rumored that she was decapitated, she wasn't, but the accident brought about the law that requires all tractor trailers to install a safety bar so cars can't go under them.

Fun Post!!!
My "hometown" and current residence for that matter has been home to a few famous peeps!
George Washington had a home here during the Revolutionary War called Dey Mansion. You can still tour it, and they do re-enactments there throughout the year.

Wayne Hills High School has had a few graduates play in the NFL, most notably, Gregg Olsen who is currently on the Panthers and Ryan Neil, who played on various teams before a career ending injury.

How interesting! I certainly have heard of Mariska Hargitay. Thanks for teaching me something new

It is a small world! I graduated from P'burg high in '99 and lived in "the burg" for almost 30 years before moving to Easton, Pa. I will always consider myself a Jersey girl, though!

I nearly brought the apartment next door to where a certain Reg Dwight (better known as Elton John) grew up. The pub where he made his first public appearance is just up the road from me.
Bruce Welch, guitarist with the Shadows grew up in my hometown while he was dating Olivia Newton-John.
Also Simon Le Bon attended a nearby school and finally late astronomer Sir Patrick Moore was born here.
