10 Celebrity Pairs You Won't Believe Went To School Together

4. Anderson Cooper & Christian Slater In another apparent Mad Lib, these two attended school together at the Dalton School, a private prep school located on the upper east side of New York City. Anderson is the son of writer Wyatt Cooper and socialite Gloria Vanderbilt, descended from Cornelius Vanderbilt of the shipping and railroad fortune. Christian Slater is the son of famed casting director Mary Jo Slater (remember his cameo in Star Trek VI? Yeah, nepotism) and soap star Michael Hawkins. Slater dropped out before graduation to pursue fame, fortune and (we're guessing) Winona Ryder, but Cooper finished in 1985 and went on the study at Yale. (Slater eventually obtained his G.E.D) Christian scored some early career bests with The Name Of The Rose, Heathers, and Interview With The Vampire and has since settled in to a comfortable working actor lifestyle that only occasionally includes brushes with the law. Anderson, meanwhile, is a journalist with one of the highest profiles on the planet, hosting Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN and doing remotes and breaking news, often in war torn regions. But, aside from just missing each other as guests on "Late Night With Seth Myers", it doesn't look like the boys have kept in touch.
