This is the most complete list i have seen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_Mormons

Biggest surprise to me is under the political activist category i didnt see John Haddow.

That is an excellent list.

I'm curious how many of those people are active in the church or would continue to claim affiliation with the church. From the baseball section alone - Bobby Crosby, Roy Halladay, Kyle Farnsworth. These are solid players. I remember back in the 80's Sports Illustrated did a Mormon All-Star team which could have competed against many AL/NL all-star squads. It included the Iorgs, Dale Murphy, Wally World, Cory Snyder and a few others I can't remember. The current team wouldn't be quite as impressive, but would still be solid.

And talking about solid - Jimmy "Super Fly" Snuka!!!! How cool is that!

And I'm a little disappointed they didn't list Mark Schultz "Ultimate Fighting" title under his wrestling accomplishments. If you're going to tell the story, tell the whole story.

He used to work out at Spa Fitness when I lived in Orem back in my BYU days. At least everyone told me that was him. It was an old Polynesian dude who could lift the whole gym.

I think they were thinking of Barry Bonnell (sp) played with Dale Murphy. No way Bobby Bonilla was.

Oooo...Mama Mia...typically I'm more drawn to Dark Haired Beauties and redheads,,,but she is one blond that is gorgeous.

Didn't see Eliza Dushku (smokin hot) on the list. Pretty sure she was raised Mormon. Same with Paul Walker.

I didn't know Ed Parker, father of American Kenpo was a Mormon. Very cool.

i think only people who consider themselves Mormon should be on the list. but in the end, the list of no consequence.
