Some nice stories - and the first confirmation I've seen that George has a house in Augusta.

Everybody's Got a George Clooney Story.

by Heather


We talk a lot about George Clooney here at HerKentucky. He's one of our Favorite Things. He isn't the only famous person from Kentucky, but he sure is famous.

Why shouldn't we talk about George Clooney a lot? He's handsome and charming. (Or, as the Kentucky for Kentucky guys would say, "George Clooney is a beautiful man." He's one of the most recognizable actors in the world. He's nominated for Best Actor in this weekend's Academy Awards. And, he's from Augusta, Kentucky, a charming river town located just a stone's throw away from Maysville.

The HerKentucky girls aren't the only ones who talk about George Clooney a lot. It's been my experience that anyone with ties -- even the most tenuous -- to the Maysville area has a George Clooney story for you. I once had a co-worker who'd grown up in Cincinnati; she never failed to tell you that George was the clerk who sold her shoes at Dillard's. (I strongly doubt that she'll make it into the final draft of George's acceptance speech, but stranger things have happened...) A secretary at one of the law firms in my old office building had been George's high school prom date; she was always extremely gracious when this fact was dredged up.

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to attend the Rosemary Clooney Music Festival with some friends who are Augusta natives. A charming, tuxedoed George was the master of ceremonies at the festival which honored his late aunt. Even though I was never closer than 100 yards from the stage, I finally got why George Clooney leaves such an impression on everyone he meets. He is just as charming and charismatic as Danny Ocean, Mr Fox, Doug Ross, or Everett McGill. Even if he weren't George Clooney, Serious Movie Star, you'd always know that this guy was in the room. He just has a presence. It wouldn't matter if he were a prosecutor, a football coach, or a tv anchorman, you'd always pay attention to him.

Over the weekend of the Clooney Festival, I got a mini-tour of George Clooney's Augusta. I saw where his parents lived, and where George himself keeps a small home. I also realized why it is that everybody from that part of the state has a George Clooney story. The Clooneys are Maysville royalty. George's aunt, the singer and actress Rosemary Clooney, was Maysville's most famous daughter. His father, Nick, is a beloved regional anchorman. It seems that the entire town was devoted to George's success. Stories still circulate about viewing parties for his Facts of Life and Golden Girls episodes. It's as though the entire town was invested in George's future success. There's a really sweet sense of hometown pride that emerges along with everyone's George Clooney Story.

Here at HerKentucky, we wish George the best of luck on Sunday. (Even if The Descendants led to an unintentional yet inspired revelation for Sarah.) And, we'd love to hear some George Clooney Stories from y'all.

Where is it located? Augusta or Maysville? There are a few miles between the two cities. hidingbehindsofa
