Answer 2

Many famous people have come from the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Larger cities may have more celebrities, but no city has more pride in its native sons and daughters.

One of the most famous, whose name you see on institutions around the city, was Andrew Carnegie. The Carnegie libraries, the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University are named after this son of a Scottish weaver, who made his fortune in steel and devoted much of his life to philanthropic activities.

Another famous Pittsburgh Andrew was Andy Warhol. Before moving to New York and becoming one of the most influential figures in contemporary art, Warhol developed his artistic skills at the library and museum that Andrew Carnegie had donated to Pittsburgh. The Andy Warhol Museum, the largest museum in the US dedicated to a single artist, is located the North Shore of Pittsburgh.

Famous entertainers include Academy Award-winning actor Jimmy Stewart, born in nearby Indiana, PA, and Grammy Award-winning singer Christina Aguilera. Although Aguilera was born in New York, she moved to Pittsburgh when she was six years old, and sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates games as a child.

With its champion sports teams, Pittsburgh has many sports stars. Some native hall of famers include golfer Arnold Palmer, shortstop Honus Wagner, and "The Golden Arm" quarterback Johnny Unitas.
