Surprisingly, Montana Has A Fair Share Of Celebrities Born Here

Celebrities Born In Montana

While large in size, Montana is actually pretty small compared to the rest of the United States.  With our population having just gone over 1 million, Montana now ranks #43 for most populous states in America. In fact, it is so small that 9 cities in the United States have a larger population than the entire state of Montana.

Small Population, Big Stars

However even with our small population, we've had plenty of famous people hail from the Big Sky.  Over the years, Montana has produced big named athletes, musicians, actors, directors, artists and politicians.  It just proves you don't have to be born in big cities to make it big.

It's important to mention this list will not include well-known names like Reggie Watts, J.K. Simmons, or Charlie Russell- as they weren't actually born in Montana. It is no doubt there have been several celebrities that have at one point called Montana home (with good reason!), but we are focusing on folks BORN in Montana for this list.

Celebrating Our Celebrities

As any true Montanan would know, we make some great people. That being said, we may have overlooked some important people while creating this list. This is by no means meant to diminish their accomplishments. They might have been famous far before any of us were born, or just didn't reach the same level of success as some others on our list. If you think we left out someone that deserves to be mentioned, or have a great story about a famous Montanan you met- send us a message on our app. We would love to hear it!
