Reese Witherspoon
Legally Blonde actress Reese Witherspoon stayed in Germany for four years when her actively deployed military father was deployed there. He was a lieutenant colonel and a physician. Reese’s mother, Betty, earned five degrees, including a PhD in nursing. When she was fifteen, she walked into an open casting call for “The Man in the Moon” and did so well that she was cast as the lead. Since then, she’s become famous for her work in comedy and romantic comedies, especially “Legally Blonde” and “Walk the Line.”
Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis’s parents actually met in Germany, where his father was deployed, and he was born overseas. In high school, Willis suffered from a severe stutter that resulted from teasing and turned to acting as a way to get around it. While he took a variety of jobs immediately after high school, he eventually decided to go to college for Drama. This was obviously a good choice since he’s become famous for his roles in “Die Hard,” “Sin City,” and “The Expendables.”
Tiger Woods
Before swinging on the green, Tiger Woods was the son of a Lieutenant Colonel. His father and mother met while Earl was stationed in Thailand, but Tiger (born Eldrick Woods) grew up in Orange County. Even at a young age, there was no question that Woods would be a golf phenomenon. At just three years old, young Tiger shot a 48 over nine holes, and in ‘84 he won the 9-10 division at the Junior World Golf Championships. He was only eight, but there wasn’t a division for eight-year-olds. He’d go on to be one of the greatest golfers in history, winning PGA Player of the Year eleven times.
