Before They Were Stars Trivia - Answers

Did you know either of the answers? Well, If you didn't..... Here they are....


In 1973, Robin Williams and Christopher Reeve were the only two students accepted into Juilliard's Advanced Program.... Not only were they both in the Advanced Program, they were college roommates and lifelong friends....


Did you recognize the young child on Bill Cosby's knee? It's none other than superstar songstress Alicia Keys...


Way before she released her first album (2001), a four year old Alicia Keys, credited as Alicia Cook, attended Rudy's slumber party.


Before They Were Stars Trivia

I have to take a two hour drive (four hours round trip) to Fillmore, California to inspect a property today, so all I've got for you today are a couple of interesting trivia questions....

1. In keeping with Friday's Robin Williams theme.... In 1973, Robin Williams was one of approximately 2,000 students who auditioned for a spot in the prestigious Juilliard School of the Arts in New York City. Not only was Robin Williams one of only twenty students accepted into the freshman class, he was one of only two students accepted into Juilliard's Advanced Program. Who was the only other student accepted into Juilliard's Advanced Program with Robin Williams ?

2.
Can you identify the future superstar riding on Bill Cosby's knee?

By the way, it was very saddening to hear the news about Brittany Murphy yesterday..... Take a chance and check out the direct-to-dvd release 'Ramen Girl'. The movie was unexpectedly good....
