I have to remember MacGyver's name by remembering that he has the same name as Oscar Goldman.

Added him but he really has almost no association with the state except being born there.

His family moved to Buffalo when he was just 1 year old.

Canada constitutes states 51-60, so I don't understand your statement.

No Jessica Lange? She has achieved the Triple Crown of Acting (2 Oscars, 3 Primetime Emmys, Tony), plus a SAG and 5 Golden Globes. In terms of this kind of critical acclaim, she is definitely within the top 20 greatest actresses ever, and at least within striking range of the top 10 ever. Just because she hasn't chosen to be in all that many blockbusters...come on!

Question — is the picture of Lindbergh actually of him, or of an actor playing him? The picture is sharp and in color, and it looks like that of a young person. Does a picture like that of Lindbergh from back in the 20s-30s exist? Maybe so.

As a Minnesotan, this wasn’t too difficult. Some of them I recognized but had no idea they were from Minnesota, like John Madden, but the vast majority are pretty famous around here.
