Famous New Mexicans

Just in case you can't tell, I LOVE random facts. I came across some information the other day about well-known New Mexicans and I thought I'd share. Here's the top four on the list:


John Denver, singer/songwriter
  • "Leaving on a Jet Plane"
  • "Take Me Home, Country Roads"
  • "Rocky Mountain High"
  • Lost two toes in a accident with a lawn mower.

Niel Patrick Harris, actor
  • "How I Met Your Mother"
  • "Starship Troopers"
  • "Doogie Howser, M.D." (He IS Doogie)
  • His parents own a restaurant called Perreniel's in Albuquerque.

Conrad Hilton
  • Founder of the Hilton Hotel Chain
  • 2nd Husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor (She's had 9...so far)
  • Yes, it's Paris Hilton's Great Grandfather, but he never knew her. Apparently Paris' Grandfather and Conrad Hilton's son, William Barron Hilton said that he, "is embarrassed by his granddaughter Paris' behavior and believes it has sullied the family name."
Demi Moore, actress
  • Yeah, she was married to Bruce Willis and is now married to Ashton Kutcher. Hmmm...
  • Little Richard actually presided over her wedding to Bruce Willis.
  • Named Demetria after a shampoo that her mother saw in a magazine.
This is probably enough random info for one day...
