Luuuckkky. No one interesting grew up here. The only famous person that comes to mind when I think of New Jersey is Bruce Springsteen.

Salt N Peppa lives in my town, but they didn't grow up here...

Andy Dick went to my school.

Lionel Richie went to a school in the same district. The girl who won the first America's Next Top Model went to my school....

I can't think of anybody famous here...but I went to the same school Phyllis Frelich did.

Additionally, I live a couple of hours away from where Angela Dickinson was born.
