Inspired by Kitty 34 - who was in your graduating class?

[WDWLVR]

The thread of how many were in your class leads me to - did you graduate with anyone famous?

I shared 4 years in the same homeroom with Dan Castalanetta known to many of you as the voice of Homer Simpson.

How about the rest of you?

 

[Lisa L from MI]

well, not mine, but much of a rival school....Kidrock.....just down the "main street" kinda where I live....or kinda, actually where I use to live

Also, Eminem's old house.....on "8 mile" is kinda like a "hop skip and a jump away"...although, I never went and drove to "see it"

No one famous from my graduating class.

No one....but my mother graduated with Steven Spielberg- Saratoga HS 1965. She said she was in his first movie.......the film of their senior trip to the beach.

I wouldnt say she is famous, but she was on a tv. Julieanne Nicholson was on The Others( a short lived show on Saturday nights in 2000), and Ally McBeal for a season or 2 before it was cancelled.

At UNC, Michael Jordan was friends with my college roommate. He wanted to date her but she would never go out with him. She was drop dead gorgeous. Just as pretty on the inside as the outside.

He didn't graduate with our class in '85 because he was already in the NBA. He did get his degree a few years later.

The closest we got to someone famous was we had one guy who went into advertising so he probably rubbed shoulders with a few famous people but that was it!


Interesting thread!

 

[Minnesota!]

Dh went to school with Josh Hartnett. And Matt Birk (Mn Vikings )was one of his friends in HS, although they lost touch after Matt graduated.

 

[luvmydogs]

She herself isn't famous, but I graduated from college with Mr. Clean's (the man on the front of the Mr. Clean bottle) daughter!

 

[browneyes]

I don't think anyone I graduated with are famous. Although I did hear 1 guy was an exotic dancer in Florida somewhere.

I went to High School with Ron Jeremy who is now one of the people on the Surreal Life and of course he is better known for his porn career . We used to hang out together in High School. Another member of my High School is Reginald Vel Johnson who played the father on Family Matters.

Mrs. Tiny Tim-- Was her name Miss Vicki? graduated from my high school, but some years before me...

But in my class, my friend from theater Bridget wound up going to LA. She wound up in many smallish roles on Fox, WB and UPN.

In neighboring high schools, Calista Flockhart... (my sister may have played against her in field hockey and lacrosse.. they both played the same sports and the same age)

Also, Robert Hazards daughter (Escalator of Life) was in my class but a neighboring high school.

Well Michael Keaton graduated from the same HS DH went to, but DH is younger....

I went to HS with a guy who used to play football for the Cowboys.

I think that's it.....

My mom grew up in the same neighborhood as Bernadette Peters and my uncle even dated her in high school for a short time.

 

[GlennandAnn]

The world famous Jenny McCarthy was in the class a year behind mine. She's the pride of my Catholic high school, I'm sure. Her sister was in my class who was (and I imagine still is) a very talented artist.

My friend at work graduated with Chelsea Noble who went on to Marry Kirk Cameron (They were both in Growing Pains). By the way her real name is Nancy Mueller.

Minnesota! - I love Josh Hartnett! I'm so jealous of your DH

I just graduated last year, so no one has really had time to get famous yet. However, Diane Sawyer and basketball player Wes Unseld did graduate from my school....just a few decades earlier Diane Sawyer actually came back 3 or 4 years ago to film a special at our school. She donated a large sum of money to start our girls' soccer team and we were on GMA for approx. 30 seconds !

I didn't graduate with anyone famous, but just wanted to say that I loved reading this thread!! Very interesting!

 

[chager]

I don't think I went to school with anyone famous. I think it was our senior year when one of my friends was an extra in a movie. And another guy is Dr. Dvd on our local NBC4 website That is the best I can do.
