VA-11: I'd love to claim Christina Hendricks, but she just spent 4 years of high school in Fairfax. Wasn't really from here. So I'll pick Grant Hill, who grew up in Reston.

VA-08: Gotta go with Sandra Bullock, who largely grew up in Arlington.

Justin "Darth" Verlander is from a rural area just west of Richmond.

San Diego is the home of the late great baseball stars Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, who were born back when San Diego was a small town compared to what it is now. Catchers Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola (the latter better known as a broadcaster) were from the same neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri. Al Kaline and the Babe (Ruth) were both from Baltimore.

My district (MI-07) Indy car racer Scott Brayton.

MI-06? Kate Upton. Derek Jeter lived there for a while.
MI-01? That district has expanded to encompass Ernest Hemingway's boyhood home.
MI-05? Madonna.

IN-01? Michael Jackson, of course.
NE-02? Gerald R. Ford

Maryland has three great baseball players in Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, Jr., and Al Kaline, but I am not sure of which districts I would put them in. It is inappropriate to put sports stars in the districts in which they  play the game.

Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio were both from San Diego, and Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola  (better known as a sports announcer than as a player, although he was a good catcher but too modest to admit it) were from St. Louis.
