<p>I stole this from the folks over at Brown and had the brilliant idea to start this after I watched Citizen Kane.</p>
<p>Think of all the places Cornell is referenced in Movies, Books, etc. not necessarily just famous people who went to Cornell.</p>
<p>Citizen Kane- CFK was expelled by Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Switzerland</p>
<p>Simpsons: Sideshow Mel went to Cornell</p>
<p>apparently in "Made of Honor," the two main characters meet at Cornell and the beginning of the film starts at Cornell, however, it is not actually Cornell in the background.</p>
<p>This is a pretty good list of fictional Cornell, but by no means exhaustive:</p>
<p>Cornell</a> Alumni Magazine - Stranger Than Fiction</p>
<p>This doesn't include instances where a fictional place strongly resembles Cornell, like in the books of Alison Lurie.</p>
<p>andy bernard from the office.</p>
<p>In Twilight - a book series and soon to be movie - one of the characters (Jasper Hale) studied philosophy at Cornell.</p>
<p>wellllll lauren weinberg (author of the devil wears prada) went to cornell...same with ruth ginsburg (supreme court justice)</p>
<p>kurt vonnegut went to cornell, a lot of the characters in his novels as well</p>
