I just finished Orange is the New Black today on netflix. And I learned something very cool!
So, I got very interested if this person on the show, Red, if her actress was actually Russian, because in the show, she talks with a Russian accent. I learned that she is not, but what I did learn was that she grew up in a town very VERY close to me (about a 45 minute drive, actually). So, I looked on the wikipedia page to see if anyone else as notable as she was from there. And there are plenty of notable people... I just don't know any of them. She's apparently been acting since the '70's and is famous for a role on Star Trek: Voyager.
