Your County’s Most Famous Actor (All 67 Pennsylvania Counties)

Two of the scariest men in movie history grew up as coal miners' sons in the same state. Charles Bronson came out of a coal patch near Johnstown, Jack Palance out of the anthracite country near Wilkes-Barre, and that is only where this starts. This is the most famous actor from every one of Pennsylvania's 67 counties, born there or raised there. No flying in to shoot a picture and calling it home. We go county by county, west to east, from Pittsburgh out to Philadelphia. Gene Kelly, Jimmy Stewart (the everyman who flew real bombers over Germany), Sharon Stone, Tom Mix, the Professor from Gilligan's Island, the little old lady who raps in The Wedding Singer, Amanda Seyfried, Bradley Cooper, Tina Fey, and W.C. Fields, with the honest empty counties and the hometown myths called out along the way. No, Tom Hanks is not from Erie. No, Jayne Mansfield is not from Mansfield. And it all ends in a stone house in East Falls, with the bricklayer's daughter who became Princess Grace of Monaco. Enjoyed this one?
