Did you go to school with someone who became famous, or know of someone famous who attended your school?

I'm watching an interview with Lindsey Buckingham (of Fleetwood Mac, one of my very favorite bands), and it reminded me that Stevie Nicks attended my high school, Arcadia HS. She was there before me, and it wasn't until years later that I found out one of my favorite singers had attended the same school I had. :D

What about you?

A million, eh? Damn! Even here in the 'entertainment capital of the world' (Los Angeles), I don't think we've made that many--and we've been at it for over 100 years! :D

Back between 1935 and 1970 my grandparents owned a tac and feed store in California. They had a lot of celebrities stop in. There are pictures of my late grandmother standing with Clark Gable, Rock Hudson, John Wayne and one with the man who invented and definitely define the word "Cool" the legendary icon himself Mr.James Dean.
My grandpa's favorite photo was one of him and maryln Monroe. So my family's connection to Hollywood stardom was that feed store.

Ha, lightweight! A measly 96? My little city has 297. :p And my birth city 106,315. (That's just for Los Angeles proper.) So, yeah, we've knocked out a few.

By the way, I still get excited when I come upon a shooting location. There are distinctive directional yellow signs with black text that get put up in the area where something's being filmed. (They show the cast and crew where to go.) I have to admit I've followed one or two...

That's awesome! I imagine those photos are quite treasured by your family.
