Earlier this year, when Jennifer Lawrence first came to town, members of the “I’m Lucky! I Grew Up In Wilmington” Facebook group were discussing celebrities that have visited (or, in some cases, lived in) Wilmington.
Here is Wilmington Apple’s Question of the Day for July 8: Do you know of any celebrities who have visited Wilmington before? (And, yes, “celebrity” is in the eye of the beholder.)
Below is a list of most of the celebrities mentioned in the Facebook discussion. I’m sure this is just scratching the surface. Do you have any to add?
