Indiana: David Letterman
Letterman isn't known by the younger generations as much as he's known by older generations. This former talk show host was raised in Indianapolis, which is the capital of Indiana. His father was a florist, and his mother was a church secretary.
From Corn Fields to Palm Trees
Letterman attended Ball State University and he barely passed. Afterward, Letterman moved to LA and decided to pursue a career in television, which clearly worked out for him. Other contenders from Indiana include Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and James Dean.
