Famous People From Your High School

Saint Andrew's School (FL)

Just off the top of my head...

Vince Spadea (tennis)
Corina Morariu (tennis)
Jennifer Capriati (tennis)
Morgan Pressel (golf)

Basically stereotypical Florida sports.

Morgan Pressel and I were there at the same time. I think she was a freshman when I as a senior.

Great Bridge High School (Chesapeake, VA)

Mike Cuddyer- Minnesota Twins. He was drafted my freshman year.
Justin Upton- Arizona Diamondbacks
Chris Richardson- booted off American Idol a few seasons ago

BJ Upton (Tampa Bay Rays) is Justin Upton's brother. He went to Greenbrier Christian Acadaemy, but would have gone to GB had he not done the private school thing.

David Wright (New York Mets) graduated from Hickory High School, which was our rival hs. I bump into his mom on occasion and she gets her hair done at my mom's salon.

Ryan Zimmerman (Washington Nationals) is another local boy. Yeah, we crank out baseball players pretty regularly down here.


Jimmy Fallon is from my ex-husband's hs (Saugerties Senior HS, Saugerties, NY)

The only famous alumni my school, from Lake Hamilton High School in Hot Springs, Arkansas, was a Playboy model form the 90's.

Leighton Meester was friends with one daughter. I had friends on that list. (yes, many of us tend to stay here, which is why I said on another thread to Leslie Anne--Go Normans!). Both girls had/have friends on that list.

Ha! I remember her!

I graduated from the same high school and college as Kyle Chandler from Friday Night Lights (and Early Edition...I loved that show!)

We both went to George Walton Academy in Monroe, GA (go bulldogs!) and the University of Georgia (go bulldogs!). Yes, bulldogs. The HS was like 30 minutes from the university. lol

ETA: Whoops! Apparently he didn't graduate from college. He stopped just short.

I loved Kyle Chandler in a short lived tv show, Homefront. Apparently, I was one of the few. In the 1940's parlance of Homefront, hubba hubba!

How could I forget John Ingle, drama teacher (Beverly Hills High): General Hospital
Joanna Hall was a star at Beverly as well. Nicolas Cage dropped out of Beverly when he did not get a role that went to David Schwimmer.

[Leslie Anne]

Hey, ellebud,
What role went to David Schwimmer? Nicolas Cage was at Beverly only one year. It was the year I wasn't there -- my sophomore year; his junior. Um, 1981-82. David was in my class. Such a sweetie.

[ellebud]

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.
