I'm from Santa Cruz, CA and these famous/well-known people are from here:

The Expendables (a Reggae, Punk Band) - all the members grew up in Santa Cruz. good band, worth checking out
Glenallen Hill - an outfielder who played Baseball for the Blue Jays, Cubs, Giants, and a few other teams
Marisa Miller - model. she was the cover model for the 2008 Sports Illustrated swim-suit issue
Scott Weiland - vocalist for Stone Temple Pilots & Velvet Revolver

Though i now live in Sacramento for college, too lazy to look up famous people from here

Try this guy for size.

Considering I live in a rather small town (about 10,000 now, but it used to be much smaller) it's quite impressive)

Other than Patrick Stewart, all we have is the grave of Robin Hood.

If I could choose which celebrity lived close to me, it would be Patrick Stewart.

A kid by the name of Macay McBride was picked to play baseball for the Atlanta Braves. He's from my town of Sylvania, Georgia. Now, he sucks for the Detroit Tigers. A couple of months back, I unlocked his mom's car. True story.

Fernando González: Tennis player
Nicolás Massu: Tennis player
Iván Zamorano: ex-football player, he played on Real Madrid, Inter de Milan, etc... he was active until 2003.
Marcelo Rios: ex-tennis player, was n1 of the world, first latin american to reach that place in history.

May be more, but those come to my mind.

The most famous person from Newport News, Virginia, USA is Michael Vick. He used to be an American Football player although he is mostly known for running a dog-fighting ring and I believe he's still in prison.

Ella Fitzgerald, the excellent and wonderful jazz singer, is also from here.
