Ireneparalegal · 04-17-2006, 11:30 PM

here in my county we have a small town that is very beautiful...it's up in the mountains and many stars live there such as Larry Hagman (JR from Dallas); Mary Steenburgen with Ted Danson; Former Ojai resident currently stars in and won two daytime Emmys for his work on ABC-TV's "All My Children" Michael E. Knight, who attended Matilija Jr. High School and Thacher School in the early 1970s, plays Tad Martin.

All of these celebrities live or have lived in Ojai:

Scott Bakula, Steve Kanaly, Malcolm Macdowell, Rikki Lee Jones, Linda Kelsey, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, Peter Scolari, Bob Emhardt, Peter Strauss, Maynard Ferguson, June Allyson, Eileen Brennan and Ed Begley Jr. In Johnny Cash's movie WALK THE LINE they actually show the hills of Ojai and post the name of Casitas Springs in the scene where they show Joaquin laying in the hammock. Cash's daughters attended the local catholic high school here, St. Bonaventure High School.

Ojai is the television hometown of title characters Steve Austin (The Six Million Dollar Man) and Jaime Sommers (The Bionic Woman), with the shows sometimes set in Ojai.
It is the home of the 101-year-old character Rose DeWitt Bukater (portrayed by Gloria Stuart) in the 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic (Cameron's homage to Ojai resident Beatrice Wood, whom Rose is partially based upon)

Nobody from my hometown, but Josh Duhamel grew up in Minot, ND, not too far from me. (90 minute drive) I went to middle/high school with a few of his cousins, and I was pretty good friends w/ one of his cousins. I got to meet Josh long before he became a big name in Hollywood.

Mysty Eyes · 04-17-2006, 11:50 PM

Oh, lots and lots... probably too many to name. But I found a list on a website that gives you an idea:
