Connections to the Famous!

This is from a Palm Desert Newspaper about regular people who had meet Hollwood Stars in normal places:

Connections

Edie Thoreson of Palm Desert, a corporate wife who moved everywhere with her husband, was first a student at Burbank High School.

She remembers a girl there called Mary Frances Reynolds with a whole chest full of Girl Scout badges. Edie was in the audience when Mary Frances won a talent contest with a lip-sync performance, which led to her signing with Warner Bros. and becoming Debbie Reynolds.

Edie felt like hot stuff by going to her junior prom at Burbank High in Jane Wyman's navy blue Cadillac convertible. Her date's father was foreman of Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman's San Fernando Valley ranch, and they let him borrow Jane's car.
