Here are people that I heard somewhere that they may have lived in Toronto, even for a short period of time. I can't confirm it though - SO PLEASE HELP ME OUT if you can confirm it.

Billy Bishop (he was married in Toronto)
Duke of Kent, Queen Victoria's Father
Al Jolson
Iman (hosts Project Runway Canada shot in Toronto for two seasons, so presumably she lived her during this time)
Anna Leonowens (King and I)
Gina Lollobrigida
Lois Maxwell - actress best known as Bond' original Miss Moneypenny, wrote a column for the Toronto Sun for many years, but cannot confirm whether she actually lived here
Iggy Pop
Joaquim von Ribbentrop - Nazi war leader, definitely lived in Canada prior to WWI ,but not sure where

Prince Rogers Nelson - someone anonymously added "Prince", this is his real name. I'm so glad someone is helping me out! Prince did buy a house here and spent some time (not sure how long though) before divorcing his wife. I'm sure he won't probably be sticking around any more.

Algernon Blackwood

glenfarrelly — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 21:52:47 CDT

Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was a suspense and horror fiction writer, a pioneer in the genre and one of the most influential. His father sent him to Canada to make something of himself. After running a dairy farm outside of the city that failed, Algernon bought a hotel in Toronto on 42 Colborne St. This venture was also unsuccessful and he fled Toronto to escape his creditors, hiding out in cabin outside the city for a few months before returning to England and then an illustrious literary career.

During his time in Toronto, Algernon was one of the original founders of Toronto's chapter of the Theosophical Society, a group devoted to study in religion and the occult and is now located at 109 Dupont St.

Conrad Black

Anonymous — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 09:28:09 CDT

Conrad Black attended Upper Canada College but was expelled at 14 for selling his classmates stolen exams. He later attended another Toronto private school, Thornton Hall (241 Poplar Plains Road).

10 Toronto Street is where Conrad Black's offices were and it is here on May 20, 2005, amid racketeering and fraud charges, he waltzed into his office – his faithful chauffeur at his side – and removed boxes of files. It was all captured on a security camera.

10 Toronto Street was previously the headquarters of Argus, parent of Massey-Ferguson, Dominion, Domtar, Hollinger Mines, etc. Years later, Conrad Black assumed control of Argus. Using the name Hollinger for his company, Black formed his media empire from this location by high-profile purchases (Financial Post, Chicago Sun-Times, London's Daily Telegraph). Black adorned the office with mahogany fixtures and a portrait of himself by Andy Warhol in the entrance. Despite this extravagance, he still got his hair cut at Ivan's discount barber shop on Victoria Street.

In December 2006 the building was bought by investment managers Morgan Meighen & Associates. The Meighens are descendants of Prime Minister Arthur Meighen and Black's former business associate, Colonel Meighen, who was ousted from Argus by Black. Purchase price: $14 million. Last laugh: priceless.
Having formerly renounced his Canadian citizenship to receive a British Lordship, Black moved back to his Bridle Path mansion in Toronto in 2003 after his fall from grace.

Jeffrey Skoll

glenfarrelly — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 10:32:29 CDT

eBay first president and first fulltime employee, created eBay's business plan and is the fifth richest Canadians.

Moved to Toronto at 13. Graduated from University of Toronto in 1987 with a degree in electrical engineering.

Convocation Speech, Delivered at University of Toronto
06.18.2003

"Thank you, Dr Dellandrea, for the wonderful introduction and thank you to Chancellor Jackman, President Birgeneau, Dean Martin, Dean Venetsanopoulos and the University for conferring upon me this honorary doctorate. Finally, my mother can say "my son, the doctor." Better still, since this is a doctorate of Laws, my mother can also say "my son, the lawyer." Since I'm already an Engineer, I think that completes the proud mother trifecta.
Speaking of proud mothers, this day truly belongs to those of you who are graduating today and to your families. You have come to the fruition of many years of hard work and you should be proud of what you have accomplished. But keep in mind that none of us made it here entirely on our own. We had the support of this university, a society and culture that values education and, in particular, we had the help and encouragement of our parents and families. So, to all of our parents and families here today who are bursting with pride on our behalf, thank you.

I've been asked today to share some words of wisdom with you. But given that I'm still pretty young and at one time I was the editor of the Toike Oike, our not-so-venerable Engineering student newspaper, I'm not sure what wisdom I actually have to offer. The good news is that I don't remember my convocation speaker and you probably won't either, so whatever I say will likely have a very short shelf-life.

First, I'd like to tell you a little about my background. I share this with you so that you'll see that I'm about as likely as any of you to be standing here today.

I grew up in Montreal, which as you know is a great hockey town. As a kid, I played hockey myself and though I was small, I made up for it by being slow and uncoordinated. Also, when I was about 12 or 13 I used to sell electronic keyboards door-to-door. Unfortunately, the only I song I knew how to play was O Canada, not a very popular choice in the heyday of the Separatist movement. One lady even sicced her dog on me. I knew then that I didn't have a great future in sales.

When I was 13, my family moved to Toronto. During high school, I realized I had a propensity for taking things apart but not much ability to put them back together. So I decided to study engineering.

My four years at U of T in electrical engineering were marked by long hours, hard work and the occasional disaster. In one of my fourth year classes, my lab partner and I managed to blow up his parents' basement while trying to etch some circuit boards. I'll never forget the look on his parents' faces as they staggered down the stairs at 5am through clouds of acrid smoke. Still, I'm amazed that that was the worst thing to happen with all those nights of sleep deprivation. Those of you who are graduating here today know what I mean. In fact, I think I see a few people sleeping right now.

After graduating from U of T, I decided to backpack around the world despite admonishments from my classmates that I would "never get a job" when I returned. When I did get back, I started a systems consulting business and a few years later I followed that by launching a computer rentals business. Finally, I realized that I was an engineer running two businesses and I didn't really know what I was doing, so I headed off to Stanford Business School. Years later, I created the Skoll Program- our joint engineering and business program here at U of T - so that others could avoid repeating my business follies. For example, it would have been helpful to know that revenues should exceed expenses.

While I was doing my MBA at Stanford, I met a fellow by the name of Pierre Omidyar. Just after I graduated, Pierre approached me with the idea of building a company to help people buy and sell things with one another online via an auction format. With my Stanford business degree in hand I knew I was right on the money when I said "Pierre, what a stupid idea."

Nonetheless, I decided to join Pierre and eBay was born. In many ways, I saw eBay as a true engineering challenge: how do you get millions of people together to trade in one place (Civil Engineering); how would they physically transfer their goods (Mechanical engineering); how do you leverage the Internet (Computer and Electrical engineering). Finally, how do you do all this while working 100+ hour weeks, wired on coffee and Mountain Dew (that would be Chemical Engineering).

Through my role in eBay, I have been blessed with many resources that have helped me to pursue an even bigger dream. Ever since I was a kid, I observed that many of the problems in the world - ranging from disease to crime to terrorism to drugs - were caused by the gap between rich and poor, be it rich nation / poor nation or rich community / poor community.

Through the Skoll Foundation, I now have a chance to make a difference in that equation, and we are working with some of the greatest entrepreneurs in the non-profit world to make the world a better place. I've even started making movies to tell the stories of these inspirational people and their work. Of course, I'm being mindful of the expression - the surest way to become a millionaire is to become a billionaire and then go into the movie business.

Now that you know a bit about me, I would like to share some observations that I hope will be helpful to you as head down the road to accomplishing your own dreams. These observations fall into 4 categories:

Number 1: Learning is a lifelong experience. You may have reached the end of a long journey today, but there are many important journeys to follow. The most effective people - including Nobel prize winners like Mike Spence, business leaders like Ted Rogers and social leaders like David Suzuki - all Canadians by the way - never forgot the value of ongoing learning. Moreover, no matter how intelligent and accomplished, these people always felt they could learn more by listening to other people and by recognizing the value of different opinions and different cultures. All of you graduating here today are really, really smart…but if you remain open to learning then you will one day not only be smart, you will also be wise.

My second observation comes from a line from one of my favorite books, the Power of One, by Bryce Courtenay. The line is "First with the head then with the heart." First with the head, then with the heart. What better advice for anyone starting out on his or her career? If you are able to make a life plan for yourself and then work towards that plan with heartfelt passion, you will accomplish amazing things. In my case, around the time I was graduating from U of T, I thought about what I wanted written on my tombstone and then I worked backwards from there. This technique has helped me to make better decisions throughout my life and then to feel good about those decisions. So, First with the head, then with the heart.

Number 3: Take risks. You've all heard the expression "nothing ventured, nothing gained." People have high expectations of you and while the path of least resistance is good for electrons, it is not so good for people. When I joined Pierre at eBay I took no salary at a time when I was buried by school debt and could barely afford to eat. People told me I was crazy. But if I hadn't already thought through my life plan and I wasn't willing to take a risk then I would not be here today. Remember, it is your life to live and nobody can live your dream for you. Travel, seize opportunities and don't let others' expectations keep you from fulfilling your own expectations for yourself.

Finally, give back. Conrad Hilton once said that there is a natural law that people should give back to the society that helped them achieve success. You are all people of great privilege and with privilege comes responsibility. Give back to your community, give back to your school, give back to the world and you will be repaid many times over.

In closing, I'd like to say that today is a celebration. You are graduating into a different world than when you began your studies, a world that has changed after September 11th. But for every setback there has been at least one great accomplishment - decoding the human genome, progress on AIDS, advancements in nanotechnology. Remain hopeful because there is much good to be done in the world and you as Engineers - the world's greatest problem solvers - have a unique opportunity to make a difference.

I encourage you to continue learning throughout your lives, to act first with the head, then with the heart, to take risks and to give back, because I believe that each and every one of you can potentially change the world. And that can only spell good things for all of us in the years to come.

Oh, and one more piece of advice - wear more suntan lotion!

Thank you. "

Nelly Furtado

glenfarrelly — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 21:36:45 CST

Singer (hit songs include I'm Like A Bird, Try, Promiscuous, Maneater).

Currently lives in Toronto. Born in Victoria, B.C. to immigrant parents from the Azores. She moved to Toronto, after graduating from highschool in Victoria.

According to Wikipedia: "Growing up in Canada and experiencing Toronto's cultural diversity, she has said that she did not have to wait for the Internet revolution to learn about world music; she began listening to it at the age of fifteen and continues to discover new genres".

Prior to making it big she sang in the groups Nelstar and Honey Jam, the latter performing at Lee's Palace.

Nelly's first child was born at her home in Toronto.

Named a "Torontonians who impressed the hell out of us in 2006" by Toronto Life Magazine (Dec. 2006). The article stated her desire to remain in the city:

"After the success of her debut in 2000, no one would have been surprised if she’d relocated south of the border. And with the success of Loose, it only seemed a matter of time. But Furtado has firmly stated that she’s not going anywhere. She’s rhapsodized about Toronto’s multiculturalism and liberal politics, praising it as the perfect place to raise her young daughter, Nevis. "

Mike Myers

glenfarrelly — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 15:23:18 CST

Myers wrote a list of the 10 Best Things to Do In Toronto published in "The Book of Lists" (Canadian Edition, 2005). Here is the list:

Watching Hockey Night in Canada at a friend's house, knowing that after the game I'm going to hook up with an even bigger group of friends I haven't seen in a long time.
Taking the TTC subway to the hockey game and standing at the window of the front car, putting my face against it and imagining I'm flying through the tunnel.
Gouging out the corner of Lowney's Cherry-Blossom with my teeth and watching it bleed.
Eating a Swiss Chalet quarter-chicken white meat dinner, salting up the fries and dunking them into that mysterious sauce, while watching the game. I save the Tobblerone [ed's note: it's now Lindor] that comes with the dinner for the streetcar ride along Queen Street.
Trick-or-treating in Cabbagetown on Halloween.
Listening to the ice sheets collide by the Toronto Police Boat station on Lake Ontario at 3:00 in the morning at the dead of winter with a Tim Hortons double-double and a raised maple doughnut.
Eating ketchup-flavoured chips while walking through Kensington Market in late May.
Playing shinny on a bright, sunny afternoon between Christmas and New Year's at the outdoor rink in Ramsden Park, across from Rosedale subway station.
Eating a hot dog from Licks while walking through Kew Gardens in October, trying to figure out if the Leafs have a chance this year.
Sitting on the front bench on the top deck of the Centre Island Ferry at 4:00 in the afternoon in late August.

William Gibson

glenfarrelly — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 10:24:25 CST

Author of Neuromancer (the first book to win the 3 major science fiction awards the Hugo, the Nebula & the Philip K. Dick Award), Pattern Recognition, All Tomorrow's Parties, Johnny Mnemonic: The Screenplay, etc.

Born and raised in the U.S., Gibson lived in Toronto - according to Lonely Planet spending much of his time in the Kensington Market area. Gibson now lives in Vancouver. Of his time in Toronto, Gibson writes on his site:

"I left my school without graduating, joined up with rest of the Children's Crusade of the day, and shortly found my self in Canada, a country I knew almost nothing about. I concentrated on evading the draft and staying alive, while trying to make sure I looked like I was at least enjoying the Summer of Love. I did literally evade the draft, as they never bothered drafting me, and have lived here in Canada, more or less, ever since.

Having ridden out the crest of the Sixties in Toronto, aside from a brief, riot-torn spell in the District of Columbia, I met a girl from Vancouver, went off to Europe with her (concentrating on countries with fascist regimes and highly favorable rates of exchange) got married, and moved to British Columbia, where I watched the hot fat of the Sixties congeal"
