This thread is done to death. There’s a new one like it every few months. There’s a few published authors, a marginally famous musician, and a few people that are experts in their field. ---

We have our share of minor celebrities, but I don’t know of any major ones. The one that leaps to mind is Phil Plait, the **Bad Astronomer** , who often appears on TV, writes articles, etc. on astronomy. **Eve** writes about old movie stars of yesteryear. **5 time champ** was a five-time Jeopardy champion. I’m sure there are others, but that should be enough to get you started. Zev Steinhardt ---
