Perhaps Chicago's most famous son is Walt Disney, film animator and producer noted for his perfectionism and unsurpassed story telling. He is joined in film history by actor Harrison Ford, star of Star Wars, Witness and the Indiana Jones trilogy.

Chicago also has its fair share of famous daughters, including Hilary Clinton, Senator of New York and lawyer, and Oprah Winfrey, host of perhaps the world's most famous television chat show, The Oprah Winfrey Show.
