Park Ridge, Illinois is a suburb of Chicago. Located 15 miles (24 km) northwest of downtown Chicago, it has a population of 37,775. Despite its relative small city status, Park Ridge has been home to several notable people. Among the most admired women in the world,[1] former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton grew up in Park Ridge and graduated from Maine South High School.[2] Actor Harrison Ford, the star of Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and The Fugitive also attended high school in Park Ridge. Ford's films have grossed over $3.5 billion domestically, making him the third-highest-grossing U.S. domestic box office star of all time.[3] Two-time Super Bowl champion (XVII, XXII) Dave Butz and Hall of Fame third baseman Ron Santo both grew up in Park Ridge.[4][5] Current MLB players Adam Rosales and Luke Gregerson are from Park Ridge, and Hall of Fame catcher Gabby Hartnett moved to Park Ridge later in life.[6] More recognized by his work than by name, Park Ridge resident Grant Wood painted American Gothic, one of the most familiar images in 20th-century American art.[7][8]
