It appears that there is a Missouri town that is now famous for two different things. First, it's just been rated as one of the worst towns to live in Missouri. Oh, and it apparently was founded by one of the ancestors of Hollywood icon Brad Pitt.
In case you didn't know, Brad Pitt attended the University of Missouri and almost got his degree. Almost. There are still pictures that get shared from that era in Brad's life including a couple I had not seen before.
When you think of lifestyles of the rich and famous, perhaps you don't think about Missouri. Think again. I've compiled a list of celebrities that you stand a real chance of running into in the Show Me State plus a couple of longshots, too.
By now most people know about Brad Pitt's Missouri roots. However, many don't realize that he also went to Mizzou where he performed on stage and also sang quite a bit, too. There's rare video showing some of his Mizzou stage performances.
Brad Pitt has confessed to doing something as a youth in Missouri that few know anything about. It's nothing insidious. He has shared that he often searched for buried treasure during his days growing up in the Show Me State.
When I was dating my wife nearly 20 years ago, I made an off-hand mention that Brad Pitt was also a Missourian. She wasn't impressed, but kept me anyway. Now, I have video proof of Brad's days in Missouri as he was singing and dancing in a Mizzou performance.
