Another familiar face in the community is Gloria Gaynor, the iconic singer of “I Will Survive.” She calls Pawleys Island home and frequently delights fans by performing at local events. Meanwhile, game show superstar Vanna White has strong ties here too, having grown up in North Myrtle Beach and maintaining family connections in the area.

Chris Rock’s mother, Rose Rock, resides in Georgetown County, lending her talents as an educator and motivational speaker to inspire local communities. Additionally, Oliver North, a political commentator and author, has found a peaceful retreat in Pawleys Island.
It doesn’t stop there! Fans of the TLC reality show “Welcome to Myrtle Manor” might spot familiar cast members still living their lives in Myrtle Beach.
