Wholesale Famous People of Queens

Famous People of Queens showcases a diverse group of characters and historical eras: actors, athletes, business people, politicians, religious leaders, scientists, singers, war heroes, writers, and famous people who weren't born in Queens but lived in the borough for a long time. Author Rob MacKay is a longtime, award-winning community journalist who has worked for the Queens Economic Development Corporation and operates various social media channels that promote the borough's restaurants, shops, and tourism attractions. His interest in writing this book grew organically--and intensely--after he became a trustee of the Queens Historical Society.
