pam Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) For a project I'm doing, who are some famous Mormons? I already have quite a list but looking for more. They can be anyone. Whether they were an inventor, musicians, politician, businessman, athlete..etc etc.Please don't give me links. I want to see how many people we can actually come up with and how diverse the list can be.So let the list begin. Edited January 30, 2014 by pam Quote
SpiritDragon Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Mitt Romney comes to mind as do any of the modern prophets with Joseph Smith being the most notable. Quote
Lakumi Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Mitt Romney comes to mind as do any of the modern prophets with Joseph Smith being the most notable.I would imagine Joseph Smith is the most famous Mormon Quote

skippy740 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 If you're going to mention Mitt Romney, then (to be 'fair and balanced') you have to mention Harry Reid. Quote

pam Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Posted January 30, 2014 just thought of 2 more hillary weeks, the actor that played horse on bonanza & little house on the prairie.Dan Blocker played Hoss on Bonanza. He didn't play on Little House on the Prairie. He died in 1972 and Little House didn't start until 1974. Quote

I think you are thinking of Victor French who played with Michael Landon in Highway to Heaven. He wasn't LDS. Edited January 30, 2014 by pam Quote
