Carnegie is a stretch. While he's one of the most important people in PA's history, saying he's from PA in untrue.

Well, get rid of Franklin too then, since he was born in Boston. Being "from" a place doesn't necessarily mean being born there.

I mean, technically yes, but if you see "steel" and "Pennsylvania" and your mind doesn't go right to Carnegie, you're in a small minority.

So nice to see our first president, Ben Franklin listed on this quiz. A fitting tribute for the man that literally invented electricity and freedom. Thank you, Mr. President, you are missed daily, sir.

Carnegie wasn't a baron--that was the term applied by less-successful competitors and/or the media.

Taylor Swift is undeniably one of the most famous people on Earth right now, as for the others I had only heard of Aguilera and Fey. After googling Kevin Hart and Bradley Cooper I feel justified in not knowing who they are.

Not the most recognizable pic of Keaton - I know he's aged (like many of us!), but with his head turned and the shadow over more than half his face, easy to miss who this is.

Not gonna lie, I really thought the picture was of Anthony Head, most famous for playing Uther Pendragon in Merlin. Even after knowing it's Michael Keaton, the pictures look very similar.

I’m just gonna say I’m sad more people didn’t get Fields lol. Such a great actor. Could’ve used cigars as a hint seeing as he smoked tons of those.
