Iowa: Ashton Kutcher

Kutcher has always been in the spotlight because of his good looks, lovable nature, and positive attitude. He was raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Not very many people end up leaving Cedar Rapids, because not that many people live in Cedar Rapids, to begin with.

Kutcher's mother worked at Proctor & Gamble, and his father worked in a factory. His family was not particularly well off, but Kutcher ended up providing for them when he was picked up by a modeling agency when he turned 18.
