Famous Dallas area connections
Talking about George Bush in the other thread made me think of other famous Dallas connections:
1) Melinda Gates, Bill Gates's wife, went to St. Monica's and then high school at Ursuline Academy.
2) Cheney lived on Euclid (as I mentioned in that other thread). Angie Harmon also lives on Euclid.
3) Pearl Jam's song Jeremey is about an incident that happened at Richardson High School Pearl Jam— Jeremy
4) Jessica and Ashley Simpson lived in The Reservation neighborhood of Richardson and attended JJ Pearce High School before dropping out.
5) Brenda Vacarro, the actress, graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas, but won't claim it.
What else can y'all remember?

Dusty Hill, of ZZ Top, went to Woodrow for a couple of years
Vanilla Ice was from Duncanville (though he pretended to be from Florida)
Owen and Luke Wilson grew up in Preston Hollow and went to (I think) St. Mark's.
I'm sure I'll think of more...

Flamingo Road Goes Through Lake Highlands
You can't forget Morgan Fairchild. I think she's from the Lake Highlands area originally.
