I was in radio for a few years, and became reasonably well-known in my second gig, as afternoon drive DJ and music director for a Central Wisconsin country music radio station.
Or maybe "notoriety" is a better word than "fame," and it was in a very small and limited community. Fun while it lasted, but I don't really miss it.....
I had the same thing for four years in the mid-90's. I lived on a small tropical island where some of my relatives are quite high up on the political ladder. I had lived in England most of my life and didn't know anything about that side of my family. Anyway, it was quite strange when I arrived as everyone was really nice to me and knew who I was.
When I moved back to England it felt strange the other way round, i.e. how indifferent people were to me. Made me realise that fame is all about place and context.
