Celebrities From Dallas Texas

Angie Harmon

She was born in Highland Park, Texas, the daughter of Daphne Demar (née Caravageli) and Lawrence Paul “Larry” Harmon, a hospital information network executive in Dallas, Texas.[3] Her father has German and Irish ancestry,[4] while her mother is of Greek descent.[5] In an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, Harmon found that she had a German ancestor who served in George Washington’s army during the American Revolutionary War, and that ancestor later acquired land in Mercer County, Kentucky. The land is still owned by a distant branch of her family.

Wilson was born in Dallas, the middle child of three sons of photographer Laura Cunningham Wilson (born 1939) and Robert Andrew Wilson (1941–2017), an advertising executive and operator of a public television station. His brothers Andrew and Luke are also actors. Wilson’s parents are of Irish descent. He attended New Mexico Military Institute and the University of Texas at Austin, where he pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and met director and frequent collaborator Wes Anderson.

Celebrities Moving to Texas

Elon Musk

Though Musk confirmed he now lives in Texas, the tech mogul still has yet to confirm his move to Austin and is notorious for his need for privacy. With Tesla’s Gigafactory and the Elon Musk Foundation putting down roots in Austin, it just makes sense to see him here.

Around age 10, Musk developed an interest in computing and video games and acquired a Commodore VIC-20. He learned computer programming using a manual and, at age 12, sold the code of a BASIC-based video game he created called Blastar to PC and Office Technology magazine for approximately $500. An awkward and introverted child, Musk was bullied throughout his childhood and was once hospitalized after a group of boys threw him down a flight of stairs. He attended Waterkloof House Preparatory School and Bryanston High School before graduating from Pretoria Boys High School.
