Celebrity yearbook photo: Guess the Yonkers star
Photo credit: Seth Poppel/Yearbook Library | Steven Tyler: The rock star attended Roosevelt High School in Yonkers.
As announced last week, we’re kicking off back-to-school season by sharing yearbook photos of some of your favorite Hudson Valley celebrities. The catch? You have to guess the identity of the local celeb based on his or her photo, and some fun facts.
Today’s mystery celeb (the last one in the series) may look mild-mannered in this picture, but he’s actually one of pop culture’s wildest guys. So who is this Hudson Valley star? Here are some clues:
1. This star grew up in Yonkers and attended Roosevelt High School...at least until he was expelled for drug use. Before he got kicked out, he was named “Most Talented” in his high school yearbook.
2. Among the claims in his recent memoir: he was raised by wild animals, once had a pet raccoon named Bandit and snorted (yes, snorted) acid at the 1969 Woodstock festival.
3. He has been to rehab eight times, most recently in 2007. Yet despite his outrageous lifestyle, his ideal vacation is Disney World.
Think you know who he is? Let us know in the comments, and then come back tomorrow when we reveal the identities of all the stars in a special photo gallery.
