I LOVED HOMEFRONT!!! We have excellent taste Honeychile.

As for Nicolas Coppola (Cage) he lost out in the spring musical. I'm sorry but age is getting to me, maybe Hello Dolly?

That list is so weird: people who are friends with my kids/dated my kids (I also have a son who is older), my friends...people you (Leslie Anne) knew and were friends with...we're all different generations at the same school. OK....I'm a lot different generations.

The weirdest thing about Jon Ingle: A friend, non Beverly, produced a television show. She cast John Ingle as a day player. I campaigned (nicely) to give him a contract. She told me that half the network came in with the same quote, "He was my drama teacher at Beverly!!! Give him the contract!"

Mountain Brook High School: Courtney Cox. (Might be more, but that's the only one I know of)

According to the teachers that were there when she was a student she was a nice girl but wasn't in any of the theatre department's productions and did career co-op for two years.

Isn't it funny how that works? I went to college with a current R&B singer and she was never in any of the choirs or productions. Not even a campus talent show.

Yeah I know...but I guess in high school she looked just as glamorous as she did when she began acting, because I've seen the yearbook proof. It's weird to think she could've been a Mountain Brook housewife because she just LOOKS like a movie star naturally.

Oh, I LOVED him in Homefront!

The only famous alumni that my high school has is Eliza Dushku. (Watertown High School, MA)

From my school (Marlborough High School in Marlborough, Mass):
Marcia Cross from Desperate Housewives/Melrose Place
Gregory Maguire (author of Wicked and other novels)

Marcia's mom was my 6th grade math teacher while MP was on and would always tell us not to watch the show because it was inappropriate for our age group.

Nobody famous from my high school, but Jennifer Garner graduated from my older son's alma mater, George Washington HS in Charleston, WV. As for Kyle Chandler, I've absolutely loved him in everything he's been in, especially Homefront. I don't know how it could have been cancelled - everybody I know loved that show! I personally think they somehow managed to survey the people in this country who didn't watch it and skipped all those of us who did.

A local reporter went to my high school and grade school. That's about it, lol

I loved the show "Homefront"! Not many people remember it.
