Adam West - Walla Walla, Wa.
Interesting bit of trivia (at least I think it's neat) : In an older Bugs Bunny cartoon, featuring Sylvester the Cat, there was a scene in an episode where a stray cat was trying to get in the house. When Sylvester answered the door, the cat said he was a salesman from Walla Walla, WA.

Red- I heard on the radio about James Otto. The DJ's said he grew up in Benton City (not far from here). My family and I lived on the outskirts of that
town for about 5 years (at the base of Red Mountain). We were there long enough for me and my brother to go the elementary school.

The tv series Twin Peaks was filmed where I used to live.
"whoooo killed Laura Palmer?"  
Kyle McClachlan was at our local store at the phone booth when we were there. They closed down our road to film one of the chase sequences. |
