I thought it was nice that Lisa Ann Walter visited the students at Blair when she was in town (caught her stand up show at the Bethesda Theater). |

You must be from my era. Don’t forget Taylor Momsen (the Grinch) and Freddy Adu (soccer player). |

Has Maury Povich been mentioned?
I went to Whitman in the 90s and Ms. Povich, his cousin (?), was one of our regular substitute teachers. Everyone thought that was kind of cool. |

I love that others on this thread know this and are bringing up Katherine Paterson as a celeb from the DMV. As someone who grew up in western Loudoun, we learned that her experiences teaching at Lovettsville ES also shaped what she wrote in that book and its rural setting: "On the way to becoming a missionary, I spent a year teaching in a rural school in northern Virginia, where almost all my children were like Jesse Aarons. I’ll never forget that wonderful class. A teacher I once met at a meeting in Virginia told me that when she read Bridge to Terabithia to her class, one of the girls told her that her mother had been in that Lovettsville sixth grade. I am very happy that those children, now grown up with children of their own, know about the book. I hope they can tell by reading it how much they meant to me." |

Surprised no one mentioned this until so late in the thread! Her autobiography is hilarious on audiobook btw. Especially the part about intentionally buying loose jeans in HS and stapling them to be tighter! |

| Someone on SNL went to Langley HS, I think she was on SNL in the early 2000s. I don't remember when she attended Langley, I think sometime in the 90s. Anyone know who this is? She's not Lauren Graham. |
