There are a wide variety and number of native Kentuckian's, who can be said to have achieved fame, fortune, celebrity or infamy, however fame and celebrity is an illusive quality dependent on the field, the audience making that judgment and the numerous specu\ialties to be considered
Consider that millions do not know who are the current rap stars or teen idols might be. Millions know little if anything about Hannibal, Saint Thomas, Mohammed, Kemal Attaturk, Loretta Lynn, Gina, Sophia, Bridgette, J-Lo, Thelma and Louise might be. Of course Kentuky has native sons and daughters who have achieved international acclaim among which are:
Abraham Lincoln.
Many famous people in the early Roman times were born in the year 345 AD. Most can be found on the internet or in a library. Including more information on why they are well known.
There are many famous people who have had their diaries published. One of the most famous people who released their diary was a girl called Anne Frank.
It's possible, but unlikely; most people, even those few who eventually become famous at all, do not become famous before their 11th birthday. I had a quick look in case some child star was born then, and if so they're not listed on Wikipedia.
Some famous people are John Rolfe, John Smith, and Pocahontas.
