Ok....we all know someone from our past I'm sure who's made it onto bigger things. So who is it that you know from your past, who is now famous?
The bloke that lived down the street when i was a kid was the chief suspect in the Wanda Beach murders.
Several years ago he was chased across Canada and gunned down by the cops

I went to school with Mick Jones from The Clash and Big Audio Dynamite, also one of my mates played for Arsenal (English soccer team!) Dave Price. Don't think it counts but my younger sister was in Face Off with John Travolta and ....I can't remember his name but the character was "Caster Troy", my sister was also in Friends for one or two shows and Dharma and Greg and I never watched either of them.
I took photos of Holly Graham when she was starting to look for work as a model.
She has since been seen in Fast Fours, Blokesworld and heaps more.
