Dame Maggie Smith lives in the same village as Brian Ferry. There's another rock muso there too but I've forgotten their name.....its one of the Genisis members...

Doesn't Phil Collins live near Rye or something ?

Olly Smith (rather irritating wine expert) and Levellers frontman Mark Chadwick both live in Lewes

Mark Williams (Harry Potter films) lives in or near East Chiltington

Richard Osborne (pointless) grew up in Burgess Hill

Aren't you thinking of Paul McCartney out near Rye? Phil Collins had a house near Loxwood but I think he sold it when he moved out to Switzerland?

Is it right he ran a off licence in Seaford? I meet him twice, once in Essen Germany and once down west street while he was still in Scorpions.
Michael Schenker also ex Scorpions lives somewhere in or near Brighton, spoken with him a couple of times.

I am not sure about that. I chatted with him and Monica a number of times, i was their paperboy and then a few years later, postman. When I was the paperboy, I had to collect the money for the Argus each week. Once or twice I went into their house and Monica's art really freaked me out. They were very kind to me and gave me a decent tip as well.

Scottish writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle moved to Sussex where he remained until his death. And his creation, Sherlock Holmes, also retired here in the world of fiction.

Laurence, Lord Olivier resided in Brighton and it was the birthplace of Jordan, the real Jordan: the punk one from the Seventies.

Pamela Rooke was born in and was from Seaford. I remember her on the bus in about 1975/76, my mother told me to stop staring, people didn't usually sport bright pink Mohicans in sedentary Seaford.
