    All great answers so far.

    A few more:

    Sarah Jones (Survivor contestant)

    Wyatt Earp (not from there originally, but lived there in the late 1890's, early 1900's)

    Hilary Lindh (olympic skiier)

    Robert Stroud (Birdman of Alcatraz)

    Archie Van Winkle (medal of honor winner -- Korea)

    Can't think of any more than that (except politicians).
