Rhonda Shear from NO did USA Up All Night


Can't for get this little hoe...I think she did a second rate movie that flopped like her jugs when she goes bra-less.

Harry Connick Jr...
Some soap actors: Christian LeBlanc (Young & the Restless) graduated from Tulane and calls New Orleans home; Windsor Harmon (Bold & the Beautiful) is from Crowley; Trent Dawson (As the World Turns) is from Baton Rouge... All the soap actors are huge Saints fans...as is Connick :)

ETA: Angela Kinsey of "The Office" was born in Lafayette

I can't believe this went 4 pages. But I believe Catherine Dent from The Sheild is from BR. Fred Dent is her dad and her brother was on 9 news at one time.

Harry Shearer lives in the Quarter for a good part of the year.

Do Brad and Angelina count?

Grace Zabriskie.

In all "Big Love" episodes, and was also on "Twin Peaks" and some episodes of "Seinfeld". She's been pretty prolific since the 70s I believe. She's been in some high-profile movies too.

As a side note, her family used to own Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop on Bourbon Street. That's how I know a bit about her.
