Colorado Celebrities As They Were In High School

Many of us would like to forget the awkward high school photos of our past. Many of us would like to pretend we were never part of that mime club, or that we didn't have giant hair in the fashion of the time. Most people can tuck those old yearbooks away only to be retrieved when grandchildren want to see what grandma looked like singing in the school choir. Unfortunately for the celebrities who were lucky enough to attend a school which we happen to have a yearbook for, their high school moments are now available for all to see. Comment below to tell us all about the embarrassing club you were in or style you exhibited in your yearbook, or come to the library to look up images from our collection of Colorado yearbooks. We also will gladly take donations of Colorado yearbooks we don't currently have in our collection.

Here is a fresh faced freshman, Madeleine Korbel, better known now by her married name, Madeleine Albright. She attended the Kent School for girls and later became the first woman to be the United States Secretary of State.

Remember what I said about how embarrassing it would be to be in a mime club?

Pam Grier often plays tough women in movies. I wonder if that hair would hold up while she fights off bad guys.
