Somebody should clue that TV interviewer in on people who were born in small towns. Just because the town was small does not mean that the people will never become famous. The Hopalong Cassidy story is really a case of rags to riches. William Boyd had been a popular star in the Twenties. He was mistaken for another William Boyd who was arrested for illegal liquor and it ruined Boyd's career. He managed to talk the producer into letting him play the hero and not a supporting character.
