Eddie Redmayne (actor - *my favourite actor as it so happens!* in My Week With Marilyn, Les Miserables, Like Minds, The Pillars of the Earth, Richard II at the Donmar Warehouse in London, the list goes on...), Stephen Hawking (theoretical physicist and cosmologist), Rowan Atkinson (actor most known for his role as Mr. Bean and Johnny English), Isaac newton (discovered gravity) and a whole host of fantastic people.
The previous answer said Lady Gaga and Jessie J, but they did NOT go to Cambridge University.
Cambridge was founded in 1209 (it is celebrating its 800th anniversary in 2009). Oxford was founded a little bit earlier though the exact date is unknown. Cambridge was founded by faculty from Oxford who realised they could do better and left. All the Oxford colleges (what make up Oxford University) were founded many years after the founding of Cambridge and are thus younger than Cambridge University. The University of Oxford is the oldest English-speaking university in the world.

the famous people i don't know but they went there to get a good education:)
He originally was educated at a grammar school in Huntingdon, England. Later, he studied law at Sidney Sussex College, part of Cambridge University. However, he never completed a degree at Cambridge, and he only studied there briefly.
