How to use famous in a sentence?
I mean, I walk around, in the privacy of my home, with my hair all over my head, ya know? I wear a washed face when I'm not out and about, and my nail polish gets chipped, ya know? I'm just Cat. I wear over-sized, holey t-shirts around the house because they're so damn sexy to me and comfy, ya know? And I just don't feel like someone who's famous. I just don't.

These are all unique requirements that are being imposed on conservative speakers at Cal.

Linwood Holton knew defeat at the ballot box before victory — and when Linwood Holton won, Linwood Holton made every moment count, if you want to know what American strength looks like, look at the famous photographs of Linwood Holton — smiling, as Linwood Holton walked Linwood Holton children to Richmond's public schools during the tensest moments of desegregation. Linwood Holton faced down Virginia's demons and enabled this Commonwealth to look ahead.
Scott Perry's telephone is maybe for me an even more extreme example than President Trump, they pick a member of Congress somewhat obscure, perhaps less famous than, say, Jim Jordan or Kevin McCarthy or Jim Banks. And they go and strip him of a cell phone under criminal process a day after they've conducted an unprecedented raid on the former president of the United States over, as far as anybody can tell, kind of weak tea allegations or issues about the Presidential Records Act.
