Most famous person from your high school

[SRTBREW]

My little sister was Brad Pitt's high school sweetheart. It has been all down hill for him ever since!

Did you grow up in missouri? As far as I know Brad Pitt and his brother grew up in springfield about 10 miles away from me. I may be wrong, kind of like everyone around here claims to be related to Jesse James.

My HS had 80 people in the graduating class there is no one famous that I know of from the whole town let alone the HS.

Yes, I grew up in Spring-patch, Missouri. Brad went to a different HS, but somehow met my sister. I think it was some student council connection.

By the way, my grandad always said we were related to Jesse James!

Where did you grow up?

My wife IS actually related to Jesse James. Someone along the way on her mom's side was married to Frank James, who I believe was Jesse's brother.

My grandmother was a 'Mimms', and I guess one of them rode with JJ.

SIL did a microfiche search in DC about '75, and says I'm related to Wild Bill Cody.

I've always wondered if my great grandfather willing left Germany or was kicked out, but my name is a town near Stuttgart.

The only even remotely famous person I can think of from my high school is Kelli Giddish. She stars in that NBC show Chase. I used to work with her at a pizza place in high school. Kind of weird seeing someone you sorta know playing a character on TV.
