Hometown Heroes

President Barack Obama may be the Hawaiian of the moment, but he's not the island's only famous native. His home city of Honolulu was also the birthplace of actresses Nicole Kidman (who soon moved Down Under with her Australian parents) and Bette Midler — not to mention AOL co-founder Steve Case and golf phenom Michelle Wie. Singer-songwriter Jack Johnson grew up not far away, in North Shore, Oahu.
