Actress Mary Jo Catlett (1938) originated Ernestina in the original Broadway production of "Hello, Dolly!" before television cast her as Pearl Gallagher on "Diff'rent Strokes." She has run SpongeBob's driving school as Mrs. Puff in every season of the show and carried the role into the Netflix feature "Plankton: The Movie."
Football player Terry Bradshaw (1948) called his own plays as the Blonde Bomber, took the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl titles in six years, and was MVP of two of them. The Hall of Fame inducted him in 1989, and five years later he became the comic foil on "Fox NFL Sunday."
Actor Mark Harmon (1951) spent nearly two decades as Leroy Jethro Gibbs on "NCIS," long enough to build a franchise around him. He played Ryan in "Freakier Friday," and he now narrates and executive produces "NCIS: Origins" as it heads into a third season.
Actor Keanu Reeves (1964) goofed through "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" as Ted Logan, then redefined onscreen cool in "The Matrix" and "John Wick." He has voiced Shadow in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" films, given 113 Broadway performances as Estragon in "Waiting for Godot," and turned up as Duke Caboom in "Toy Story 5."
Actress Salma Hayek (1966) broke big in "Desperado," then landed an Oscar nomination for Best Actress with "Frida." She has since played Ajak in "Eternals," voiced Kitty Softpaws in "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," and taken roles in "Without Blood" and "Sacrifice."
Comedian Katt Williams (1971) was Money Mike in "Friday After Next" and voiced A Pimp Named Slickback on "The Boondocks" before "The Pimp Chronicles, Pt. 1" landed on HBO. Fourteen specials later he dropped "Katt Williams: The Last Report" on Netflix this year.
