Celebrities and Other Notable People

[Phantom]

Another thread got me to thinking ..... What other notable people live on or around the Lake?

As a businessman myself, I totally understand & respect the rights and desires for privacy.

Thus I am not attempting to "out" any particular people by yielding address' or such..... but on the other hand I do always enjoy pointing out to visitors the houses of some of the "notables" amongst us as we drive around the Lake. I truly believe we are ALL guilty of this to some degree.

Who hasn't pointed out the Marriot complex or Romney house. If it wasn't for the forum I would never have known infamous Boston weatherman (now deceased) Don Kent loved it here.

We know of course of Jerry Remy in Laconia....... perhaps some were not aware of Digital Equipment founder Ken Olsen.

Who else is amongst us ?





if this thread gets bashed, I ask that Don remove it -- I will not be offended (I am just truly curious)

Triple H & Stephanie McMann in Meredith

[cillovely]

Remy in Laconia, really? I never knew that.

Isn't Jimmy Fallon's wife's family up there? He named his daughter Winni after the lake because he loves it up there so much. Plus he and Justin Timberlake have that skit "Camp Winnipesaukee"

[Meredith AK]

Brad Garrett (Ray's tall brother on the sitcom) sometimes visits and stays in one of the hotels in Meredith.

[tis]

I think there is another thread about this. You might want to check that first before we start all over.

Anyone ever seen Triple H out and about? Now that's one big boy...

No but I saw their jet at the airport when I took a bi-plane ride. Big boy, big jet.

[tis]

Is that the great big jet that was at the airport this weekend? We saw it and wondered who it belonged to. It was huge!!

My husband saw him at Funspot last year. They admired from a distance to avoid bothering him and his family.

Don Kent had a place in Sanbornton. What made him "infamous"?

[snowflake]

Don Kent was a loved and well respected weatherman in Boston and New England. Perhaps the writer is confusing the definition of infamous and famous. Looking forward to coming up to the lake this month. The countdown begins!

[Mr. V]

Mitt Romney, of course.

Didn't Madame Chiang own a home nearby too, back in the day?

[Ms Molly McKever]

Erin Hall has a boat slip at M.V.Y.C.

[tis]

There are so many, it's hard to think of them all. And tons we don't even know about I am sure.

Here are a few that have been or still are here. Even if they aren't still here the houses are. Ceos of Black and Decker, Stanley Tools, Singer Sewing, Compaq Computers and other computer people. JCPenney, Robie-rent a car which I think became Hertz, Dr Scholl, Demoulas as have been talked about, Tedeshi foods, Bank of Illinois, owner of Celtics, owner of Red Sox, Friends Baked Beans, 2 Walgreens, 2nd in command of Amway. As you mentioned, Romney of course, and Marriots. Bob Bahre, the lady who used to be on the show where they did home projects Home Time (?) I think was the name and can't remember her name. A few hockey players, Steve Leach among them. Jimmy Fallon comes a lot but he doesn't own a place here, his in laws did. The guy on the old tv program "Wings" has relatives and comes here but doesn't own a place. Can't think of his name.

[tis]

Here are a few more. And I also forgot in my previous post the creator of Howdy Doody.

Celebrities on Winnisquam, Winnipesaukee, Squam Lake, etc.

The late Pat burns, coach of the boston bruins had a place at the lake. I believe Rick Middleton of the bruins has a place on winnisquam.

[glennsteely]

Rumored that Brittany Spears had spent a week, "trying out a compound" that she was thinking of buying, but the local lake population made a stink about the photographers and tabloid personel (def cant blame them) and she decided not to purchase......never heard where, and not sure that its true.

Someone said Mike Jordan, I had heard that same thing, that he owned a home and quite a bit of property somewhere in or outside of Wolfeboro, but not on the lake.

Doesn't Steve Taylor of Areosmith own in the lakes region?

Also, Corey Taylor of Slipknot fame, owns a place up North and is a big time snowboarder, I read that in a music mag.

Thats my two cents.
Glenn.

[Bernie Girl]

Steve Tyler of Aerosmith has a place on Lake Sunapee.

[glennsteely]

When I was a teen and vacatioing at the lake, I did date Drew Barrymore a few times......lol!!

p.s. I wish.....but, don't tell my wife that I wished!!

[riverat]

Rumors has it that Adam Sandler bought Bob bahres place for 38 million.
You heard it here first.

[pjard]

I don't believe it...he wouldn't but such an opulent property. Maybe I'm wrong....

[Misha888]

this is the second time I've read this.

Interesting. I heard a rumor it had been sold to a movie star but didn't hear who. Will be interesting to see if this turns out to be true!!

[Sue Doe-Nym]

Has anyone checked the Registry of Deeds to see if the property has changed hands?

[jazzman]

The big party tent is up... But there wasn't a party this weekend. It's been very quiet over there all summer. Not even any action on race weekend.

[tis]

I don't think it has gone through yet, Sue.

[SIKSUKR]

Even if it does go through there is a good chance it might not have his name attached to it.

No, most likely a trust, but you can usually figure out something like that by the price and the location.

Or the trust name, or who the trust is registered to. I was messing around one day and at the time HHH's house was attached to a trust that had Vince McMahon's secretary as the contact.

SS, just don't tell anyone about the plans for the new 5000' air strip, or the new hanger for the Gulfstream....

[ARV]

The last I knew, Sandler had a place on Governors Isłand. An old friend worked for the landscaping company that took care of his!

[Patiently Watching]

It is a rumor - sorry...

[dpg]

Has anybody answered who Erin Hall is yet?

Mrs. Erin Hall is the wife of Darryl Hall, Just passed papers on a house at the lake. Mmmmm

WRONG

If you read the BIO in that Wikipedia:
"He is now married to Amanda Aspinall and lives with her"

[ishoot308]

I suspect the original posters name is "Erin Hall"...

[pjard]

I was just at MVYC dropping some stuff off at my boat and I actually think I saw Erin Hall. I don't know for sure I have no idea who she is!

[BroadHopper]

I saw James Taylor peddling a bike, stop in parafunalia, and left on the bike. So yeah, there are celebrities around. Not as much as when the Winnipesaukee Playhouse existed.

[BDI]

I think she was a famous skier in the MWV back in the mid-90s

[RLW]

BDI, I was just browsing through the forum and noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum and glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends.

Thanks for joining and putting your thoughts into the thread.

[BDI]

I think this famous lady may be turning the big 50 very shortly!!!

If I knew where that parcel was I could look it up when I have a few minutes. It's kind of what I do for a living, hence the board name.

[tis]

I am pretty sure it has not change hands yet. I get the Registry Review weekly -a paper that lists all property sales- among other things.

[jazzman]

I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed hands yet. The annual summer party was last night. John Fogerty of CCR fame was the evening entertainment. That must have cost a bundle.

[Sue Doe-Nym]

According to the Alton town website, Robert Bahre is the owner of the Clay Point property.

[tis]

Somebody on here was right, they said Bahre was having his huge annual party last night. We just went by in the boat and the huge tent is there. Maybe it will be the last?? (for him anyway)

[Lakewinnipesaukeeknowital]

Anyone know what happened to the land that was owned by the Tamposi family in Meredith near Cattle Landing across from Stonedamn Island. I hope they didnt get approved for condos.... I worked for Sam Sr. in the 80's getting the site ready for a large scale development...similar to Jonathan Landing but I never knew what they ever ended up doing with it. It looks like new homes have been built, does anyone know if they still own the land or if there have been town approvals for condos

Please... no more Mcmansions
