Celebrities Living in Austin

August 28, 2007

You’ve recently read about Austin becoming a hot bed for filming Reality TV and today I thought we’d let you know about all of the cool celebrities in your midst (or could be in your midst when you move here)!

I know, I know; you want to hear what movie stars are here first. Many stars have vacation homes around the Hill Country (which we won’t name today), but listed below are people who call Austin home even if they’ve got another house in 90210:

Lance Armstrong
Sandra Bullock
Matthew McConaughey
Farrah Fawcett
Ethan Hawke
Parker Posey
Dennis Quaid
Renee Zellweger

There are also many people involved in the TV & film such as:

Walter Cronkite
Dan Rather
Richard Linklater

But what about the athletes? Besides America’s college football darlings (THE University of Texas) and Mack Brown, we’ve also got:

Stone Cold Steve Austin
Andy Roddick
Roger Clements

Being the state capital of the largest contiguous state, you better believe that many a politician calls Austin home:

Anne Richards
Kinky Friedman
Lyndon Baines Johnson
Lady Bird Johnson
Barbara Jordan

Naturally, no list would be complete without listing the musical talent from the World’s Live Music Capital:

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Los Lonely Boys
Charlie Robison
Bruce Robison
Nelly
Robert Earl Keen
Blue October
Willie Nelson
Janis Joplin
The Gourds
Townes Van Zandt
Kathy Valentine
ZZ Top
Shawn Colvin
Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Austin is famous for being the Second Silicon Valley, and is also a haven for creativity led by the likes of:

Michael Dell
Tom Ford
Mike Judge
Ben Sargent
Elisabet Ney
Charles Umlauf
