Recently i was talking to a teacher at my school, Spanish River, and he started naming some famous ppl who went there. (Most btw i didnt recognize). However i learned that Brian Warner (aka Marilyn Manson) went to my school and i saw his picture in the yearbook (he didn't look nearly as weird). Also football legend Chris Carter went there and also lives in my neighborhood though his house is hiddne form view.
So i was wondering if any of you had any famous people that went to your high school?
Rick Bayless, the famous restaurateur (Mexican restaurants in Chicago) and cookbook writer. Ooh, I had such a crush on him when I was 15!!!
(I bet Cav knows who I'm talking about.)
Lol Mexican restaurants own
The only person that comes to mind is the Astronaut, Tom Jones...is an astronaut considered a famous person?... (Kenwood High School Class of '73). He was a year ahead of me and signed my yearbook when I was a Junior. About four years ago he came back to give a talk to the students at Kenwood and I attended. I took my old yearbook with me and he signed it again!
quite a few
celebrities who went to
stuyvesant high school in nyc:

Nice I wish my last name was Brest
El-Diablo Brest....hmmm... has a nice ring to it.
Mariah Carey went to my High School; she graduated in '87 (I'm from the class of '79 so of course I didn't know her). Also, the State Assemblyman from that district, John Flanagan, was in my graduating class; he succeeded his father in, um, '86, I think.
The school we all went to is Harborfields High School in Greenlawn, NY.
There's only one I know about. Dave Corzine (played pro basketball - San Antonio, I think) was in my graduating class ('74).
Linda Gray (Dallas) went to my high school, Notre Dame Academy in west Los Angeles, a year before me. Donna Corcoran, not famous now, but then... was in the original Angels in the Outfield, the movie - she was in my first grade, at St. Monica's in Santa Monica. Thinking thinking... Joel Siegel, he has become a well known movie reviewer.. he was an editor of the Bruin when I went to UCLA.
Roy Walford, the fellow who worked on aging, and was involved in the Biosphere project, used to sit in the Biomed Library across from me, all the time, staring at and through me. Urgh.
Thinking... well, that is all I can think of re school right now but I may be back.
I'm still in high school
But I intend to be famous after :wink:
Only I know is Er Nie
He is the one who wrote the national anthem for my country and still using it.
Does that count?
Neil Sedaka played the piano for our assemblies. Louis Gossett Jr. graduated the year that I was in 10th grade. I remember how excited we all were, when he got a part in "A Raisin in the Sun".
Pat Buchanan and William Bennett, plus a scattering of Admirals, Generals and undersecretary's of various Federal Departments all graduated from Gonzaga High school in Washington DC.
Aha, that reminds me, GeorgeOb, that Maureen Dean (John Dean's wife) went to my high school a couple of years after me.
hehehehehehehe
