Famous Pittsburghers
One at a time is all we can say.
We could have devoted the whole website to Famous
Pittsburghers, and by the time we’re done this section
may be bigger than some entire websites about
Pittsburgh.
As with all good things we have to start somewhere,
so please forgive us and realize we’re only getting
started. In fact, if you have a famous
Pittsburgher you want to see on these on these pages,
Contact Popular
Pittsburgh and let us know.
We also have pages of
Pittsburgh
Links,
Pittsburgh History, and
plenty of
Pittsburgh Trivia.
For even more famous people who have a Pittsburgh
Connection you may have not realized, visit our
Pittsburgh Notables
page and be surprised!
