Were they born fabulous? It’s true that these celebrities all got plenty of attention in high school, though not always for the right reasons. Some of them had the star quality that made them super-popular. While others... well, let’s just say they were kind of bozos. See if you can tell the class clowns from the most populars.

Lily Tomlin: Most Popular!
Look at those pearly whites—and those pearls! Cass Technical High School’s most popular of 1957, Lily Tomlin looks like she’s ready to start cracking wise any minute. On Laugh-In, Sesame Street, her comedy specials, and movies like 9 to 5 and All of Me, she cemented her status as one of the funniest funny people ever. The Tony-, Emmy-, and Grammy-winning comedian (she’s only an Oscar away from an EGOT!) has brought us beloved characters like telephone operator Ernestine and perpetually five-and-a-half-year-old Edith Ann. In recent years, she’s had memorable roles on Damages and Desperate Housewives. And that’s the truth!
