Two of the biggest celebrity names that have ever called the Clarksville area home are both remembered for being trailblazing women in sports.
Wilma Glodean Rudolph and Patricia Susan (Head) Summitt pioneered and championed their respective sports of women s track and field and women s basketball. They became influential not only within the sporting arena, but throughout humanity.
They are joined on this group of famous people with ties to Clarksville by a U.S. Army sergeant who appeared on televisions across the country in the 1960s, a homesick soldier at then-Camp Campbell who drew images of fellow soldiers during World War II and a groovy former resident of Clarksville s east end.
“We are sorry to hear that
Frank McRae, who played Sharkey in Licence To Kill, has passed away. Our thoughts are with his family and friends,” tweeted the
James Bond account.

“We’re saddened to learn about the passing of Frank McRae, who admirers know appeared in numerous Steven Spielberg and Amblin films including 1941, USED CARS, and in perhaps his most beloved role, as Harry Noble in Amblin Entertainment’s BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED,” tweeted out Steven Spielberg’s film and television production company, Amblin.

In Jasmine Williams family, graduating from the University of Michigan is a rite of passage. Her parents met on the campus, and her older sister graduated from the school a few years ago. She remembers sitting bundled up in the family section for that graduation. It was overwhelming to feel so many people that proud, she says, I remember sitting there watching her, and that was probably the first time I was like, OK, yeah, I like this. I can t wait to do this.
This year, Williams own graduation will look a bit different. The main undergraduate ceremony will be all virtual, though the university has invited students to watch that ceremony from the football stadium on campus known as the Big House. There will be no family members in attendance, and students will be required to have a negative COVID-19 test result to enter.
