Lily Tomlin (Actress)

Jeri Ryan (Actress)

Steven Curtis Chapman (Christian contemporary singer)

Of those three, I used to go to church with Lily Tomlin's aunt, Jeri Ryan's mother is my mother's doctor's secretary, and my former youth pastor is a personal friend of Steven Curtis Chapman.

Also, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's oldest daughter Rumer was born here while Bruce was filming the movie In Country here.

In a word, no.

Chass, how famous ARE those people, really?
I mean, Lee from now-failed boyband 911 grew up in Carlisle but I don't count him as famous..

Well... Lily Tomlin used to be quite big. Chapman's pretty big in that genre. As of now though, Jeri Ryan's probably the most recognizable. I mean... she got to be one of Ewan McGregor's mistresses in Down With Love!

You live in Crewe. I have been to your house. You live in the place where you reside currently.
You are stupid.
