Bollywood, end to end. Roughly a third of Mumbai's notable births are actors, and another seventh are people who work in the films those actors star in — choreographers, playback singers, dancers, models, screenwriters. Cricket is the only non-cinema profession that competes for attention, and even that has strong overlap with the celebrity economy. Almost no one in the dataset was born here before 1900, and almost everyone after lives somewhere within a short drive of a film set.
