Did any famous people attend your high school?

And I mean "did they ever attend", and not necessarily while you were there.

Name the High School, the place, and the people.


For me:

Chamberlain High School - Tampa, FL

Steve Garvey (LA Dodgers 70's & 80's)
Lauren Hutton (actress)

had a picture of Jim Morrison (the Doors) in it with a crew cut looking like the General's son that he was. This was like 1962, 1963 and Jim was in the class ahead of my brother at T.C. Williams High School, Alexandria, VA.

On edit: My brother didn't even know who Jim Morrison was and this had to be pointed out to him later by me.

Jim's dad, George S. Morrison, was skipper of the USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31)in 1963-1964, and was later promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral.

Roy Jones Jr. and Emmit smith

Small detail, but there ya have it.

I went to school with Lu Ann Fernald, Playboy playmate (don't remember which month) in 1978. But she's not really famous.

However...Kelly Slater, the pro surfer...he used to hang around my office, friends with my partner's son. (Small town...we all went to the same school). We'd pay them (they were pre-teen at the time, I think) to stuff subscription envelopes. We even used a tiny Kelly Slater in an ad for my magazine. The picture is hysterical...we put Kelly (about 3'10") next to a giant 6'8" surfer dude, as a comment about changing styles. I wonder if he'd sue me now if I posted the picture? As publisher, I do own the rights...I think...

It was very weird to purchase the Kelly Slater Pro Surfing video game for my kids this Christmas...three other guys I know are listed on the box, too. And now I'm land-locked in New England.

Thanks for bummin' me out!

On edit...fellow Floridian. This was in Cocoa Beach.

Washington-Lee High School, Arlington VA.
They were there about 10 years before I was :)

n/t

on edit; I just got to Soothsayer's post further down in this thread informing me that Katie went to Yorktown.

He was a minor movie star. His best-known role was as an alien officer in "V." That was in Miami Springs in the late '50s.
His mother was a school teacher at Miami Springs Elementary.

Hialeah Junior High and Miami Jackson High (I think)

Famous People:
Ron Goldman (Of OJ trial fame -- he was Nicole's waiter friend who was killed with her)
Andrea Jaeger (tennis player)

Semi-famous people:
Alison LaPlaca (actress -- she was in Duet, John Laroquette Show, and a couple of things with Tom Arnold)
Tamika Catchings (WNBA player, and one of the "meeks" from Tennessee -- she didn't graduate from SHS, though.)
Matt O'Dwyer (NFL/currently with the Bengals/got arrested for a bar fight and ended up getting charged for kicking the window out of the cop car)

I went to high scool in Libertyville - isn't that near Lincolnshire? It's been a long time.

I live in the area, and holy schlamola... was it as GIGANTIC as it is now when you went there?

At Stevenson, there are hallways that you can't see the end of. Whenever I walk through it, I feel like I'm at an airport.

at Garfield High School in Woodbridge, Virginia but I went to Woodbridge High across town from there.

;) no offense meant... I try never to misspell the names of goddesses.

Tim Raines, Major Leage baseball player
Jeff Blake, Journeyman NFL quarterback
Doug Marlette, syndicated political cartoonist.

Seminole High School, Sanford, Florida

Lots of other successful types....that's why I don't go to reunions.

Alleged to have attended Irvin High School in the 1960's (before I was there.)

I think she was also a prom queen. What a beautiful woman she was.

.

Southwest High School in Miami, about 3/10 of a mile from where I'm typing this, while visiting ma & pa for the holidays.

Lampley, the HBO boxing commentator, and ex-Cub Dawson preceded me at Southwest. Lampley graduated in about '66 and Dawson probably 6 or 8 years later.

I think 5 current or former NFL players. (Right now, only Mike Allstott.)

At least one major leaguer. (Bill Gullickson, who was there when i was but was a couple years younger.)

Terry Gannon, who is a sportscaster for ABC and played hoops for Duke (i think).

Roger Hewett (a year younger) has appeared in several movies and Broadway productions. (Stretching the definition of "famous" here, i guess. He's a character actor and not a leading role guy.)

And two infamous. I won't mention names. But, one killed a 13 year old kid, while we were still in high school, for throwing a snowball at his car. The other slaughtered his whole family and shot it out with police about 10 years after graduation.
The Professor

in Rogersville, Tennessee

soaps but I think that is the one she is on)

kicked out for wearing the Star of David a couple of years ago.

Harrison Central, in Gulfport, Mississippi.

The atheletes: Greg Hibbard (pitcher in Chicago for a while), Matt Lawton (outfielder for Cleveland, Minnesota), his brother Marcus (two weeks with the Mets in the 80s before getting injured), and Sidney Coleman (NFL for a few years).

I met Brett Farve once when we were kids, but he went to a rival high school. My best friend's sister had a crush on him, so we used to go around chanting "Amy loves Brett Favre." She used tosay she hated him, that he was stuck up, and that he thought he was so special because he played quarterback, but that he was no good and only played because his daddy was the coach.

The DLR video star was Marilyn Holt, a rather large woman who did some comic closeups in the videos. She was the drama teacher there until just before I got there, when she left to become "famous."

His son went to high school with me in New Braunfels, Texas. He was 2 years ahead of me.

That's the best I can do.

I'm a person of renown, in some circles.

And actor Ken Wahl.

One infamous person who attended my HS is David Dowaliby.

Bremen Community HS, Midlothian, IL.

Of the Dead Boys. Considered by many to be one of the top American punk bands of the 70's.

Remember Willie Aames from "Eight Is Enough?" He attended my high school, Edison, in Huntington Beach, CA. His real name is Willie Upton and he was an asshole who reeked of entitlement. He once threw a $20 at me in the drive-thru of the fast-food joint where I worked. No eye contact, no "thank you," nothing. Asshole.

Maybe he's throwing bibles through the drive-thru windows now.

Where the hell is that from? That's too f'ing funny, man....

does a show staring an action hero called Bibleman...

Go here...http://www.bibleman.com/

We were in the same homeroom for one year. He was in the 8th grade and I was in the 6th grade.

I don't know if he went to the same high school I did since by the time he was in high school he was already in Hollywood making movies.

--Peter

isn't he from Evanston?

I'm from Evanston.

--Peter

attended high school together at Venice High in Santa Monica, CA, class of '59. His given name is Lloyd Vernet Bridges and in high school he was "Bo."

Natalie Cole, Jamie Walters, Laura Linney, and some others I've forgotten...

New England Prep school.

But the King of Jordan went to my ex's HS, another prep school near here.

Actors Gregory Peck, Cliff Robertson, and Raquel Welch come to mind. Mr. Robertson is an active lifetime member of our alumni association.

The late guitarist Robin Crosby of the defunct heavy metal band Ratt.

Rolf Benirschke who was a place-kicker for the San Diego Chargers played famously on the LJHS varsity football team, once overturning a game in the final seconds of play by achieving a 68-yard field goal.

Numerous golfers including Craig Stadler.

We also have at least one astronaut - James Newman.

With the kind of people living in the La Jolla area I'm sure there are dozens of familiar names from politics, law, medicine, the military, and the arts but I am out of coffee and Raquel kicks all their asses anyway.

that graduated from my high school was the town drunk.

So did the Village Idiot.

so they both got to graduate. :)

I am pretty sure this is right...

1) Ann Margaret - Actress
2) Charleton Heston - Actor
3) Bruce Dern - Actor
4) Lily Taylor - Actress
5) Fred Savage - Actor
6) Adam Baldwin - Actor
7) Rusty Schwimmer - Actress (in class with her younger sister and friends with her cousin. Rusty was super nice when I knew her in grade school.)
8) Jim True - Actor (he was in my class. Great guy)

JM

Yep...

Evanston, class of '86.

:hi:

--Peter

Pretty funny, actually. Didn't one of the Hanson brothers attend Evanston? I can't remember which one, but I think he was there a few years before you.

Later,
JM

No idea about the Hanson brothers.

:shrug:

--Peter

Just to update that list.
John
It's a real famous school for arts and music, and I always thought Ann Margret was dreamy.

NT was interesting. East was always known for drama and theater, West was more for music. Then they merged in 1981.

JM

On the site I googled.
But Hugh O'Brian's did. And so did (you're not going to like this) Donald Rumsfeld (eeeewwwwwwwwww).
John
Moderators: Feel free to delete the second part of the above post.

Calgary Flames NHL player who punched out that fan.

Washington Capitals, in crofton, MD

and Geeks" Chippewa Valley High School, Clinton Twp, MI.

Also my brother Jim...(hopes to be famous) comedian who does extra work for "The Young and the Restless"


and

My brother Robert a (soon to be famous) screenwriter and director.

I am hoping that sometime in the next 5 years you will know both of their names as well as Adam Sandler and Oliver Stone. :) Robert has sold a screenplay so he's on his way!!!

Funny thing is, is that the show "Freaks and Geeks" looked and sounded so much like my high school years it was unnerving.

Small world!

The Tejano singer murdered in Houston, played by Jennifer Lopez in the movie (also called "Selene"). Both of us went to Lake Jackson Intermediate School (at the same time, no less).

Then I went to Valley High School here in Vegas, where Andre Agassi once played tennis.

:-)

There were some others too, but I can't remember just now.

on edit: That's Cass Technical High School in Detroit, MI.

I should know this, but I can't remember if all three of them went to the same high school.

are professional artists, writers and musicians. Some have become quite famous.

The drummer on Dylan's "Time Out of Mind," Emmy Lou's "Wrecking Ball," Norah Jones' album, Joni Mitchell's last album, and many many more well-known albums is a good friend of mine from high school. His name is Brian Blade. He also plays in Joshua Redman's band and appears on virtually every album produced by Daniel Lanois. His brother, another friend of mine from high school, plays drums in Emmy Lou's band.

The bass player from "Better than Ezra" is also a high school friend. He is an exceptionally smart guy who was majoring in Applied Mathematics at LSU when he fell into this band. It's funny to see their videos where he plays the part of a rocker and know that inside he is really just a math geek.


The accordion player for The Gourds and the lead guitarist for the Damnantions TX (they are brothers) also are high school buds of mine.

There are several other high school friends I know who are doing studio work as musicians.

It's TWO cds. :D

I'll get in the mail ASAP. :hi:

I will be missing the Damnations next show though. I'll be seeing The Derailers insteaad. Their lead singer is quitting to devote more time to his family. This is the last chance I'll get to see them. At The Broken Spoke, no less.

I'm going to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl and I'm already lining up the shows I have to attend. I think Friday night will be Stanton Moore, George Porter, Jr, Johnny Vidakovich and friends at Tipitinas.

Saturday is probably going to be Anders Osborne at Mid-City Lanes (Rock n' Bowl). North Mississippi All Stars are also playing that night at House of Blues. I hate to miss North Mississippi, but I can't stand the House of Blues' corporatization of live music shows.

I talked to a buddy last week who went to the Austin City Limits Festival this year. He raved about the festival and the after-hours shows. I think that one is a must see for me next year.

went to and graduated from my high school (10 years ahead of me but in the same class as my brother)

Chris Layton - The drummer for Double Trouble - Stevie Ray Vaughn's band - he was one year older than I was and hung out a little with my sister.

Ray High School - Corpus Christi, Tx.

:think:

The ACL festival is great, but I didn't go. I just went to the after shows. Less crowded, and I got to see exactly who I wanted to see.

South by Southwest is coming too. March is just 3 months away. :D

went to my school and graduated 11 years after I did. There are some others who became generals, ambassadors and CEO's, but Franco is the most famous. He had the same football couch who was there when I went. We had a good football team. Coach Gordon must have been proud of Franco. Rancocas Valley Regional HS, Mt. Holly, NJ.

Most notably Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Theodore Roethke, current Golden State Warrior star Jason Richardson and new Oakland A's pitching coach Curt Young.
John
None attended with me (first one's older, last two are younger) but, while I was there, AHHS produced the only undefeated, untied and unscored on football team in Michigan history (9-0, 443-0).

Christine Lahti and Laura Innis (Carrie Weaver on TV's ER) are alums of my high school(though I was not there at the time)

Robin Williams attended a private high school in my town.

my partner's sister went to the same high school as Madonna, around the same time (Rochester Hills,MI).

my best friend went to Laguardia HS in Manhattan--lots of famous people from that school--but she was in the same class as Adrien Brody and after he won an Oscar, I made her pull out the yearbook so I could see all his HS pics teeheee

produced John Hartman (early Doobie Brothers drummer) Curt Knight (one time place-kicker for the Washington Redskins) and Tom Shadyac (producer or director, not sure which, for most of Jim Carey's movies.)

BTW that Shadyac guy went there with a father of a friend.

has one current NBA player as a alumni (He was a year after me), but he did lead the school to state championship - twice.

Chauncey Billups - Detroit Pistons guard

We're good friends too. His nickname is "Smooth".

Hawkeye-X

Southwest HS, Kansas City MO
Graduated 20 years before I did.

:)
No one as of now no.
Herndon High School, Herndon, Va
not that I know of no
but the next town over, Reston, Grant Hill graduated from there.

Indian River High School

I imagine there are a handful of Indian River Highs, but ya never know...

We had several female division 1 college athletes, but I don't think any have been in the Olympics or play WNBA. The male athletes were not as good, comparatively so no pro football or basketball athletes. A couple mayors of larger nearby towns went to our school as did one of the county judges. My ex boyfriend and his brother own a computer company, but it isn't Microsoft or anything like that. My high school didn't exactly prepare students to go onto bigger and better things.

n/t

Everyone had to check the yearbooks in the library, of course. He lettered in track all four years! When I attended Cortez in the '80s, he would show up at JV football games and watch the cheerleaders.

Doesn't he mention Cortez on the school's out record? I can't remember which song. I'd have to go back and listen again.

Real name is Danielle Stampe. Rode my bus, and was in my homeroom (which was alphabetical) for all 3 years of high school. Never really chatted with her, so no claims of "being great friends!".

My sister went to Mission Bay High in San Diego briefly, where Frank Zappa once attended some 20 years before her.

Steve Holland of Molly Hatchet was also a grad of her high school some 10 years before her in Virginia Beach.

NFL football Players:
Vince Ferragamo - Rams
Freeman McNeil - NY Jets

There's about 10-12 guys that went pro from the 70s/80s, but these two are the most famous.

Kevin Sorbo and some actor who was in my brother's class (1971) and later became a regular on some soap opera (can't remember his name).

Basketball Star, 1944 Tamalpais High School, Mill Valley, CA. Pat scored 36 points that year, second highest on the team. They passed the ball around a lot.

Nobel Prize-winner for discovering (or, per Google, inventing) the polymerase chain reaction, perennial NBA All-Star, and reasonably hip jazz saxophonist and frequent latter day Steely Dan sideman, respectively. None attended when I went there, but my brother stepped on English's foot once. I understand that English was very gracious.

Dreher HS, Columbia, SC

Wethersfield High School in Wethersfield, CT

Betsy Johnson, designer (sometime in the 60's)
Annabella Sciorra, actress (spelling?) in the mid 80's
Mark Lynn Baker, actor (the strait man to Bronson Pinchot on the 80's show Perfect Strangers) in the late 70's

I think there's someone else, but I can't think of it right now.

If you even know who they are.... they are the only ones I know that have been a little famous.

and Robbie Van Winkle aka Vanilla Ice...

although Vanilla I think only went to my high school for a year or so.

J.J. Pearce High School

Richardson, Tx.

of the Tennesse Titans and yes the son of Tony Dorsett.

No one famous went to my old HS in PA, that I can immediately recall

real name Phoebe Laub, graduated a year ahead of me from Teaneck High School, Teaneck, New Jersey.

But dont tell anyone....its not something we're proud of.

and I shared a 6 foot sub with HRC when I was in high school when
my DARE group went to the mansion when she was just the governors wife...does that count?

attended South Division High School with us circa 1965-66.
He was quite a nerd as I recall, a loner.

She was friends with a good buddy of mine. He told me to check her out on the Bruce S. video one day. We all thought that was neat that a Birmingham girl got to be on a video.

Neat indeed.

East Kentwood High School, Kentwood, Michigan

I don't know which one (I don't watch that stuff), but he's from Broadlands, IL. Alison Krause went to my husband's high school, but was a couple classes ahead of him.

Brian Tochi(hara): Actor - "Revenge of the Nerds", "Police Academy 2", "Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtles", "Omega Man", "Star Trek" (2 epsiodes), lots of other stuff. Oxford Jr High, Lexington Jr High and Cypress High. Cypress CA.
Cindy Adelesh - Seventeen Mag Model. She slapped me down when I said something petty and stupid. I deserved it. Lexington Jr High.
Spider Sabich - Skier (went to my sister's high-school). Got dusted by Claudine Longet. El Dorado High. Placerville CA.
Kathy Rigby - Small athlete. (Sister's school again.) Los Alamitos High. Ditto CA.
John Stamos - Actor/Muscian - Couple of years behind me. Lexington Jr High.
Tiger Woods was supposed to attend Cypress, but jumped boundaries to attend Western. (Traitor!)
Surely plenty more.... I never paid much attention, and haven't kept track.

class was still there.

enough said

sisters, I think, attended my high school.

was apparently an alumni of my former high school (morris hills). I found this out from my sister who still goes there. They want to get him to speak at graduation or something. She is not impressed. I'm raising her up to be a good liberal. Somebody's got to do it.

in Southern Calif. were convicted spy Daulton Lee (The Snowman) of Falcon and Snowman fame and current US repuke VA Senator George Allen (and what a bigoted asshole he was even then.)

Chris Boyce (Daulton Lee's partner in crime - aka "the Falcon" - also attended the school in the late 60's.

By the way, both Boyce and Lee are now free after serving lengthy sentences.

I graduated in 1973. Nobody famous before or after that!

But I don't know their stage names.

You know what they say about Canadian gals!

but a friend of mine went to school with Halle Berry in Cleveland.

Hot Springs High School, Hot Springs, AR

Of course he was Ramon Estevez then. He was in my brother's class and I was in his brother's class.

She was hideously murdered in the mid-80s. The murder was so brutal that it made national news off-and-on for weeks. It seems that Terri objected to being dispatched so early in life, and fought like a pack of crazed hell-cats against a much larger, stronger attacker. The resulting mess was so spectacular that it drew a crowd of gawkers and cops from every jurisdiction within a 30-minute drive -- at 6:30 AM, no less.

She was managing a fast food joint in the armpit 'burbs of Philadelphia, and was closing for the night. After having locked up, she counted the till, and shortly thereafter, went to those great Golden Arches in The Sky sometime before dawn.

Of course, several young African-American men were implicated (enthusiastically, by a "hard-hitting conservative newspaper", i.e., a local racist rag), but released for lack of evidence. Of course, the cops just had to be lying when they said that a couple of black dudes weren't the perps.

Then, a few years ago, one of the investigating officers, acting on a decade-old hunch, obtained a warrant to fish through the trash of her boyfriend at the time. After comparing some DNA evidence from the crime scene and from loverboy's cigarette butts, he was confronted and confessed to the foul deed. Case closed.

According to the confession, Terri was breaking up with him, to which he objected rather forcefully. His confession spared him a trip to the Pennsylvania death house.

I knew Terri pretty well. We were an "item" once upon a time -- when we were ten. It was 1968, and with the Summer of Love and LSD and all of that stuff ... well, actually, we just hung out at the bus stop, and in 1968, that's all it took for the elementary school banns of engagement to be published.

Terri had a pretty unpleasant life; her parents divorced years too late, and her teenage years did not yield easy rows to hoe. Her maturing taste in men was abominable. In spite of the numerous and early knocks, she was getting her life together when it ended. The last time we ran into each other was a few years before The Incident, when I worked for a cocaine-addicted entrepreneur a block away from where she worked. She was chatty and friendly as could be.

Every few weeks, Court TV runs The Terri Brooks Story. Getting murdered is a hell of a bad way to acheive immortality.

Bye-bye, Terri ... there's still a few of us who think about you every now and then.

Merry Christmas, wherever you may be.

--bkl

I'm sooooo lucky!!!!!

yeah yeah. before i got into HS though. =)

booted out of Libertyville High School in Illinois

oh and you baseball fans may remember Brett Butler - I knew him in high school

Jami Gertz (Actress)
Harrison Ford (Actor)

There are a few more that are escaping my mind right now.
And then there are locals like Ed Volkman (radio DJ) and Rich Koz (TV's Son of Svengoolie) who few would consider famous.

There was an age gap (I believe Hillary was a few years younger), so they never really knew each other.

I didn't know that Harrison Ford went to the same high school - it's quite possible he attended high school with my teacher.

Not sure when; I guess it would have been in the 1950s. He gave the commencement address to the class two years ahead of me (it was the school's 75th anniversary in its current location, and the first time in years that graduation was held in the school stadium). Pretty cool! :-)

But years ago I met this HOT guy that does gay porn and at I was at being filmed for a video (NOT THAT KIND! ..... But if he was in it I would have considered it) and he said he went to my high school. A few years behind me ....... (hey! get you minds out of the gutter). Damn! If we went to HS together I might have had a prom date!

He went to Buffalo Grove High School, Buffalo Grove, IL. Class of '89, I believe. He also attended my middle school.

He came back to give a presentation at the school last year, and a funny thing happened with our German teacher. The teacher, we'll call him Herr G, doesn't speak English around any students, or at least tries not to, and is a huge soccer fan. So after the presentation, during a lunch hour, he sees McBride and walks up to talk to him. My friend, seeing this, ran over to the area and just stood around, looking at Herr G. Herr G, unable to say anything for fear of letting the jig up, just stood there gawking at my friend, and McBride. McBride, obviously confused, just made his way through the cafeteria and Herr G never got to talk to him.

MLS Bio

Some other guy who was on a Dodgers World Series team went to our school. No notable non-athletes that I know of, unfortunately.

they were there when I was there

Chatsworth High School
Chatsworth, CA

Mare Winningham
Val Kilmer
Kevin Spacey

I only remember Mare Winningham, because she played the guitar and sang at assemblies. The other 2 were pointed out to me by another Chancellor here at DU.

Yeah... Tom deLay and his wife Christine. We all graduated the same year (1965).

attended the same high school as myself ten years or so before I did. The only other thing of note was that my high school was the school filmed and used as the setting for "West Beverly High" on Beverly Hills 90210 in the years when the gang on there were high school students. :-)

because it was in the Hollywood, CA area. The most famous was Mary Tyler Moore at Immaculate Heart High School, in Los Angeles, California. I believe she was the class of 55' or thereabouts. I don't remember exactly.

Hated him.

...author of a bunch of seminal works on the subject of algorithms.

Milwaukee Lutheran High School, early '60s.

1978 vintage, myself.

Whit Crane - Ugly Kid Joe (graduated my year)
Stephan Jenkins - 3rd Eye Blind (my brother got into a fight with him over a jacket).
Charles Haid (Officer Andy Renko on Hill St. Blues) spoke at our graduation

Classical High School, Springfield Mass. He beat me there by about 50 years. When the school closed in 1986, there was a reunion open to everyone who had ever graduated. I guess his invitation got lost in the mail. Too bad, he's probably the most brilliant graduate (other than me) of that school.

Ernest Manning High School (what a dump), Calgary, Alberta

Mid 1970's

Bret was one year ahead of me, Owen a couple behind. Never really knew them, we travelled in different circles. :eyes:

Somebody else fairly famous went there, but I can't think of who it is.

Marilyn Monroe attended in 1942, but dropped out at age 16; Elizabeth Taylor, Roddy McDowall, both Jan Berry & Dean Torrance, David Cassidy, Ryan O'Neal, James Brolin, Doug McClure, Shelley Fabares, Nancy Sinatra, Carrie Fisher, Billy Gray, Rusty Hamer, John Densmore and Robby Krieger, Bonnie Raitt, Randy Newman, Danny Elfman and Bridget Fonda...

My class included child actor Barry Gordon. Jeff Bridges was a semester behind me.

A damn good guitarist. Recently produced Anti-Flag's latest album. He went to Libertyville High School, here in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago. I went to that high school for my first two years.

Then the district built a new high school where I live, Vernon Hills. So, I went to Vernon Hills High School for my last two years.

Given its first graduating class was in 2002 (of which I was a part of) nobody yet counts as famous. If I have anything to do with it though, my name will be in lights. For what? God only knows. Most likely something terrible. =)

EDIT: Looking through the thread, forgot about Marlon Brando, and Brett Butler. Brando was booted for, if I remember correctly, riding his motorcycle around the indoor track in the Brainerd Building gym.

Both Oak Park River Forest Class of '75.

The High School still mentions Jonas Salk. Had to read E.L. Doctorow's "Book of Daniel" to hear about Julius Rosenberg.

On Edit:
Ooops: Looks like I was wrong about Rosenberg, though Doctorow definitely made the claim in BoD. Googled it. With a million eyes, all bugs are shallow, apparently.:-)

Ari Fleischer at

Fox Lane High School in Beford, NY

I think he graduated in the early 80's.

Glencliff High School, Nashville, TN

Cynthia Rhodes - Dancer, singer actress

She is the dancer in Toto's "Roseanna" video.

She was the lead singer of the 80s band "Animotion." Their hit was "Obsession."

She was the blonde girl in Dirty Dancing who, in the story, gets pregnant.

She also married 80s rock heartthrob Richard Marx.

noted graduates are diane keaton and marlon brando.

Treadwell High, Memphis

(actually it's my hubby who attended Treadwell)

John Kerry
Garry Trudeau
Archibald Cox
Judd Nelson
John Lindsay
Catherine Oxenburg
Robert F. Kennedy (he was only there for about a week, until his mother demanded he be transferred to a Roman Catholic school)
