**karomon** , older Pete went to Hunter high school. I know because a friend of mine was in that high school at the same time. Apparently the actor wore a dress to prom. Kooky, that one.

There’s rumor that the movie _Clueless_ was based on my high school.

A girl I graduated with is marrying **Jamie Lynn Sigler’s** brother. A girl who graduated the year before me has been an extra in a few movies, enough to have an imdb page! So far no one from my class has become actually famous, though.

Yeah, which is one of the high schools I attended. A friend of mine in the school was there a year earlier than me, and she was always swooning about how punk and dreamy he was.

I went to college with Benjamin Salisbury, the son from the tv show The Nanny. It was after the show ended but I guess it still counts.

My brother went to a party that Alicia Silverstone was at.

My brother is also on imdb, but probably doesn’t count as famous.🙂

High school: Nancy Kerrigan graduated a couple of years ahead of me, and I was in the same grade as her brother. Other than that, nobody else has become famous other than an occasional newspaper write-up that usually includes the phrase “lewd conduct”.

College: a few. There were the daughters of Al Gore and the Aga Khan in my class, and I was acquainted with John Lithgow’s son (good actor, btw). Matt Damon was a couple of years ahead of me.
