I don't know much about the USA, but I did know that the author Bill Bryson comes from Iowa from his books. Perhaps one to add?

Lots of other famous Iowans that could have been included, such as Johnny Carson, Donna Reed, Wyatt Earp, John Wayne, etc. I was also hoping that I could answer "superb RA" with "A. Dumbass."
