AMUSING
yearbook pictures of some of America's biggest stars were published for
the first time today on a family history website.
The yearbooks of Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Will Smith, Alec Baldwin, Nicolas Cage and Jay Leno all feature, and include information on their classes, school activities and photographs they would rather forget - including Sandra Bullock's high school dance partner trying his luck.
The entries, on Ancestry.co.uk, apparently make up the largest collection of school and college yearbooks available online.
There are more than 60 million yearbook records available in the U.S.School Yearbook collection, featuring books from high schools, junior highs, academies, colleges, and universities from almost every US state from 1875 to 1988.
As well as the more mundane information, dirt is dished on Hollywood's A-listers including a newly discovered picture of Oscar nominated Brad Pitt, who is captured mid tantrum at having to make decorations for a school party.
He had reason to be unhappy - his school was called Kickapoo High School and he is pictured wearing skin tight denims.
Miss Congeniality star Sandra Bullock's yearbook says she was a varsity cheerleader, which involved "sacrificing a lot of time, money and energy" for Washington-Lee High School in 1982.
Her photos show her in cheerleading outfit, and demurely resisting the advances of her homecoming dance partner.
The Overbrook High School yearbook photograph of international box-office star and Academy Award nominee Will Smith shows him looking confused in a science lesson while sporting a light moustache in 1986 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Nicolas Cage, real name Nicolas Coppola, is pictured in
his Beverly Hills High School 1979 yearbook official picture looking
deadly serious, hiding any glimpse of his sense of humour.
Alec Baldwin was no high school activity slacker at Alfred G. Berner High School in Massapequa, New York.
In 1976 he served as class president, and was a member of the youth council, drama club, the student activities council, the lacrosse and football teams.
Ancestry.co.uk international content director Dan Jones said: "These US year books are a great addition to our international collections of school and university records, and will allow millions to reminisce their school years as well as uncover the school lives of a relative.
"They also allow us to glimpse at the younger lives of some of the world's best known superstars before they hit the big time, and include some amazing photographs I'm sure they'd rather not see again."
