Julianne Moore
Daughter of a U.S. Army Paratrooper and born at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, actress Julianne Moore from “Boogie Nights” is a total military brat. She attended nine different schools as her father was relocated, and she eventually graduated from high school in Germany. At her parents’ urging, she went to college rather than immediately pursuing her already burgeoning theater career and graduated from Boston University with a BFA in Theater. From there, she went on to star in many plays and films.
Patton Oswalt
Funnyman Patton Oswalt, named after General George S. Patton, is the son of a Marine Corps officer. He began performing stand-up while in college at William & Mary (where he majored in English), which led to a comedy special for HBO and roles in many films and TV shows. In addition to numerous guest appearances, he had recurring roles on “King of Queens” and “Justified” and voiced Remy in the Pixar film “Ratatouille.”
Sir Elton John
This singer, writer, composer, and so much more is the son of a Flight Lieutenant who served in the Royal Air Force. He began playing the piano at the age of three and won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music at eleven. He would go on to be one of the most prolific artists of the 20th century, playing not only solo but also with the Beatles and countless other stars.
