<hr>

<p>An earlier thread asked what celebrities were enrolled at Brown as students.</p>

<p>As a followup question: Are there any Brown students that are the children (or brother/ sister) of a recognizable celebrity?</p>

<p>Thank you for your responses.</p>

<p>Yes, very many. The most famous one would probably be JFK Jr. Though he graduated in the 80s (obviously). Some other famous ones that I know of are:
Dustin Hoffman’s son
Chris Mattews’ son
Susan Surandon’s daughter (who is a famous actress in her own right)
Versace’s daughter (richest person in the world under 21)
Danny Devito’s daughter
I believe the Shah of Iran’s kids went in the 70s or 80s, he spoke at a graduation in the late 70s right after being overthrown, I herad some funny stories about that.
The King of Jordon’s son (thus, the Prince of Jordan) I believe
At least one of the Beatles’s kids I believe, but I forget who
Ira Magaziner’s kids
Most of the Greek royal family (I believe)
I’m sure I’m leaving a ton out. Parents weekends are always pretty interesting (last year both Chris Matthews and Dustin Hoffman gave some pretty amazing speaches)</p>

<p>No, I stand corrected. She did go to Princeton. I confused her with someone else I think.</p>

<p>BOTH of Danny Devito’s daughters, as well as David Mamet’s daughter, and Tatyana Ali’s sister…also for those in or around the Philadelphia area, Lisa Thomas Laury (news anchor)'s son. I don’t know how big a deal she is outside of her area, but apparently she is quire admired regionally.</p>

<p>THe Kennedys seem to like to go to Brown.</p>

10

<p>Well JFK Jr. started it all by breaking the Kennedy tradition of going to Harvard. Maybe they all just followed his lead after that.</p>

11

<p>Are these people excellent students or did they just get in bc of fame?</p>

12

<p>Who knows, ask the adcom.</p>

13
