Robert David Hall who is seen Thursday Nights on CSI playing Las Vegas Coroner Al Robbins, was a 1964 graduate of Tustin High School. Although he was born and raised on the East Coast, his family moved to Tustin near the end of his sophomore year. He also lists a job at Disneyland on his resume like Steve Martin. These are just two OC alum who have made it in show business. My list includes: Diane Keaton, Kevin Costner, Annette Benning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and who can forget The Righteous Brothers, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. Do you have anyone to add to the list???

  • Well, Crystral Lewis and the old group Love Song. Crystral Lewis is famous in Christian music. The members of the former group love song no longer live in OC, but they were apart of the so-called Jesus Music that make up a lot of the contemporary christian songs that many churches now use.

  • Will Ferrell! He went to Uni High in Irvine around the same time I was at Irvine High. Also Susan Egan, the Broadway actress; she went to the OC Performing Arts High School around the same time. And both have South Coast Rep backgrounds: Will was in the Young Conservatory and I remember seeing Susan in Sunday In The Park With George there in the late 80's.

  • I understand actress Lynn-Holly Johnson of "For Your Eyes Only" fame went to Saddleback College, which would mean she lived in OC for a while. She was named alumnus of the year in 2006.

  • I sold girl scout cookies to the Rightous Brothers in 1964, they were staying in some apts. right by our apt in Anaheim near Orangewood and I went to the door and one of them bought several boxes of cookies from me. I heard they were playing at Melodyland or Disneyland then.
    Such a nice memory I have of that.

  • Both Harry Anderson (Night Court) and Steven Seagal went to Buena Park High School. And, I remember one of the girls from the *New* Mickey Mouse Club in the 1970's lived across Malvern from me in Buena Park. I want to say her name was Allison?!?

  • The Foo Fighter's drummer Taylor Hawkins grew up in Laguna Beach. I almost rented a room he used to rent- they used it as a selling point! haha!

  • I went to school with Gwen Stefani from No Doubt. She sat across from me in ceramics class. I remember she seemed shy and didnt really look anything like she does now!

  • I remember STEVE MARTIN & STORMIE OMARTIAN: WHILE ATTENDING "Wagon Masters", a singing quartet that performed (for free) Country Folk music at Knott's Berry Farm, in an out-door amphitheater surrounded by covered wagons. Of the 4, I remember 2 of them... STEVE MARTIN, who was the funny guy, playing the BANJO like no other! The female singer was STORMIE OMARTIAN, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR of at least 30 Christian books.(Check her out at www.stormieomartian.com)
    BTY: I had purchased one of their record albums, which they autographed for me. If I could only find it again, think of what it might go for on ebay!

  • Do you happen to know if that's Michelle Pfeiffer's real name? There was a girl that lived down the street from me in Santa Ana that would have looked a lot like Michelle Pfeiffer when she grew up.

  • Brando went to Lathrope Jr. High in Santa Ana, and Jennifer Warnes attended Pepito & Joanne's Dance School in Santa Ana (my wife was there with her)

  • My Mom and Dad went to High School with Steve Martin at Garden Grove High School in the early 60's. One year Steve Martin was running for class something. He ran around school one day with a bra on and a sign that said, "Lend me your support!" Funny then, funny now.

  • Victory Tischler-Blue from the 1970s all girl band The Runaways that also featured Joan Jett and Lita Ford grew up in what is now North Tustin and went to Foothill High School. She's now directing and producing feature films.

  • Sandy West who was the drummer for the Runaways grew up in Huntington Beach. She died from cancer in 2006. RIP

  • The surf band The Chantays went to school in Santa Ana. I think the school renamed a street in their honor. Their one and only hit "Pipeline" accompanies a lot of surfing scenes.

    Harriet Nelson from the 50's show "Ozzie and Harriet" lived in Laguna Beach for many years.

    John Lovitz went to UCI and got his Masters of Fine Arts there.

  • DeDee Pfeiffer (sister of Michelle) went to Ocean View High School, I had PE with her back in 80 or 81. Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) also went to Ocean View. He was in my brother's graduating class, 1986. Wikipedia is a good site to see who went to a school.
