Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1978, Ashton Kutcher is a genuine rags-to-riches Hollywood success story. The goofy actor was raised on a farm in rural Homestead, Iowa, and attended Clear Creek-Amana High School, where he participated in soccer, wrestling, and drama. Kutcher cleaned floors at a General Mills plant during high school, and once was so broke that he sold his own blood. Though he was more interested in acting and modeling, Kutcher attended University of Iowa, studying biochemical engineering. He left quickly, however, and found some success as a model after winning a state-wide competition. Then, in a lucky turn of fate Kutcher was discovered in a bar in Iowa City and cast in the pilot for “That ‘70s Show”, which led to stardom for him and co-star Topher Grace.
