Arnold at Brentwood
This past week, while I was down in LA for my high school reunion, the Governator gave the commencement address at the graduation. His daughter is in the class. Apparently Jack Nicholson was there.
And then I went on I went on from there and did the action movies. And of course I broke all the rules again, because you're not supposed to go from action movies to comedies. I went to comedies and all of those kinds of things. And since then, of course, between Jack Nicholson and myself, we have won three Oscars. (Laughter) They're all his, but who wants to go into details right now? It doesn't really matter.
I guess Jack had a relative in the class as well.
Celebrity sons and daughters and celebrities themselves are not a new thing for Brentwood, but considering the costs of tuition (just south of 25K a year for 7-12), it's not going to surprise anyone that the student body is only going to get more exclusive.
In my class, we had the son the Walt Hazzard and Willie Crawford, They started in 7th grade with me, but didn't finish. Both were my teammates on our 8th grade city championship basketball team. I rode the pine, but it was a fun ride. The sons of other LA sports stars were enrolled, including Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Keith Erickson and Gail Goodrich. I'm sure I'm missing some, but that's what happens when you get older, I suppose.

Billy Crystal's daughter was in the class below me as was Jeremy Licht. Oliver Robbins, who played the younger son in Poltergeist was there.
Long after I left the school, Fred Savage arrived along with four members of Maroon 5. Jonah Hill was there for a time before moving on to Crossroads.
