10. Melissa McCarthy
Even in high school, Melissa McCarthy was a fashion chameleon. She once said she went from super preppy to blue-black hair with shaved patches. She later tried stand-up in NYC and attended SIU Carbondale before Gilmore Girls and Bridesmaids blew the doors off.

11. Emma Stone
Emma Stone exudes an aura reminiscent of Jodie Foster here. She famously made a PowerPoint to convince her parents to move to L.A. at 15. That’s commitment and excellent slide design, presumably.

12. Winona Ryder
Petaluma High grad with a 4.0 GPA. Also, she grew up near San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater. No wonder Heathers and Reality Bites hit so hard.
