Default Famous Mormons

Just a fun little question. I had a discussion with a friend from Arizona (he just moved to Utah, yes I'm a Utah Mormon ahhhhhhhh!) about famous mormons. He said his dad did some construction work on Harrison Ford's house and he had "evidence" of being LDS. I have a hard time believing he is LDS. I've searched the web and can't find anything. Does anyone know if he is or had any ties to the church, and who else in Hollywood is LDS?
Some of the obvious are; Gladis Knight, Gordon Jump, and Jon Heder.
One that is not so obvious is Roseanne.
Steve Martin and Bill Murray are some others that have been rumored to be LDS.
This is a subject that is always fun for me. Its one of my favorite running jokes through out the singles ward movies.
Have fun!

Haha... In The Single's Ward I love how the big argument is about the creator of Battlestar Galactica (the original.) One guy swears he's not Mormon.

He totally is.


Edit: Roseanne is not LDS. Her parents were Jews, but she lived in SLC, which gave her exposure to LDS teachings.

Never heard of Harrison Ford being anything but Jewish -- same with Goldie Hawn and Paul Newman. Rosanne Barr's family went to the LDS Church but tried to be Jewish one week and LDS the next. Not sure if she was ever baptized.

I've been to that famous mormons website. I was just wondering about anyone not on their list. Like Bill Murray? I'm pretty sure he's not. In fact I dare say I'm possitive he's not. I think the rumor about him came from owning a minor league baseball team here in Utah. He used to own the Trappers.

As for Roseanne, what I read was that one parent is Jewish the other is LDS. She was raised in an LDS family, which she is very outspoke against, but has chosen the Jewish side over the LDS side. Which is exactly the reason I asked. I love to hear all the different versions. Obviously we won't ever know for sure unless we hear it from their own mouths, but its always fun to hear the different variations to the rumor.
