h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I couldn't help but notice that some names are missing from the list. So here goes:

Charlton Heston, Alice Cooper, General Custer, Thomas Edison, Michael Moore, Bob Eubanks, Ransom Olds, Alfred P. Sloan, Charles Mott, the Dodge brothers, Lee Iacoca, John DeLorean, James Earl Jones, Chief Pontiac, Tim Allen, Pat Paulson, Joe Louis, Theodore Roetchke, Barry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, all the guys from Grand Funk Railroad, Levi Stubbs, Aretha Franklin, Jeff Daniels, and more who I can't think of at the moment.

Also, maybe a mention could be included for Earnest Hemmingway, who spent a lot of time in the state, and Muhammed Ali, who currently resides within the Michigan borders.

She might not be that famous anymore with X-Files only being on in reruns, but Gillian Andersen spent some years in Michigan while growing up.

And well-known, in ska-punk circles at least, ska-punk band Mustard Plug.

Then there are those who made a name in Michigan after being born elsewhere:
