this is very flattering. I believe a generous rating but I'll take it.

Haha. Include “Kevin” from the office as notable actor alum but do not mention Kathy Bates, Powers Booth, or other notables.

“EDIT” There are mentions of many others in the attached listing, but I just found it humorous they chose to specifically mention Kevin.

Wasn't Morgan Fairchild a Dallas girl who also attended SMU? She and Kathy Bates were just a little before my time but I've always associated both with SMU.

And Cheryl Tiegs. Yum

I literally ran into Fairchild at a football game. She could not have weighed more than 90 pounds and 75 pounds was makeup. Not impressed.

Don't recall Chery Tiegs ever attending SMU but I certainly remember the fishnet swimsuit in Sports Illustrated

She was homecoming queen one year.

Grand Marshall 1982

I stand corrected. So very likely she did not attend SMU but was merely some well placed eye candy. I just remember seeing her at the game.

I believe we have three academy award winning actresses. Dorothy Malone, Greer Garson, and Cathy Bates.

by **ponyboy** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 8:23 pm

Greer Garson was from London, I believe. Her connection to the university is analogous to Bob Hope's.

Dorothy Malone was a Dallasite and passed only two years ago.

Hope Hicks was a great actor.

An absolute legend. Should be up for best supporting actor.

Stephen Tobolowski, the annoying insurance agent in Groundhog Day. For those of you from the Miami Vice era, Saundra Santiago, Don Johnson's love interest in the show. Patricia Richardson from Home Improvement. Bill Fagerbakke - dumb assistant on Coach. Cindy Potter, Bronze Medalist diver, 197 Olympics and diving analyst. A bunch of Olympic Men's swimming medalists. Jerry Heidenreich being the most decorated.
