Iowa: Ashton Kutcher

Kutcher has always been in the spotlight because of his good looks, lovable nature, and positive attitude. He was raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Not very many people end up leaving Cedar Rapids, because not that many people live in Cedar Rapids, to begin with. 

A Face for Television

Kutcher's mother worked at Proctor & Gamble, and his father worked in a factory. His family was not particularly well off, but Kutcher ended up providing for them when he was picked up by a modeling agency when he turned 18. He won the Fresh Faces of Iowa modeling competition, and that eventually catapulted him into his acting career.
