Wow, you have a lot of amazing people born in your state!
And that is funny that all the beach guys come from Philadelphia! ;-D A couple from Gidget...and the Beach Party...and then random others (like the ultra-annoying Fabian).
The only star from my state is Bing Crosby. I actually live about an hour from the house where he was born.
Ohh wow that's pretty cool, have you ever visited it?
I only put Fabian there because I know he had made movies in the 60's but other than that I don't know much about him.
