yep, but telling you who would kill my anonymity on this board. lets just say you've heard of him/her and have probably enjoyed lots of his/her work during your childhood PeeWee Herman? LOL

Is it wrong that this was the first thing to pop into my head? Also, my aunt wrote a (apparently) successful ghetto-otica book. If that counts.

Indiana Pacers Center Jeff Foster is a cousin.
Also, I guess we aren't related anymore (or never REALLY were depending on how you see things), but one of my ex-step mother's nephews is Cody Linley, who was on Dancing With the Stars, and is doing a lot of Disney Channel stuff now. I spent several Christmas' in a row with that family and he's a really cool guy.

my family on my dad's side were all fairly poor farm labourers, up until my grandad. he was sent to the field in WWII as an ordinary soldier along with the local brigade, but when he was there, they discovered that he had a freakishly good mind while he was training, so pulled him from the field and gave him a job decoding mines or something. anyway, apparently he managed to find a way to sabotage one of the main types of mine used by the nazis using standard army equipment. it's thought that he saved countless lives by doing this. ironically and tragically enough, he ended up being killed by a mine while doing something related to his research not long after this.
no one else in the family's done anything special, but the story of how he went from being sent effectively to his death, to doing something amazing, only to be killed anyway, is equally inspiring and tragic.

Depends on what you'd consider famous. My uncle was a pretty well-known person as far as high school sporting events and the area in which I live.
My wife has a distant cousin, who wrote "Sticks and Stones" for country singer Tracy Lawrence. That's about as famous as it gets.
