Miss Texas/Miss America Phyllis George was at TCU after winning Miss Texas and left after winning Miss America in the early 70s.

I think Luke Wilson went to TCU, but didn’t finish, as did Chris (whatever happened to) Klein.

Since we are devolving into "Celebrities Who Went to TCU," I offer Betty Lynn Buckley and William Walker. Maybe Dennis Burkley and Frederic Forrest?

The thread is about celebrity not wealth. So what’s your point? So you know non famous wealthy people. Great. So do most people here. Do you know any famous people or their family members that went to TCU? That’s the discussion.

the point was simply people starting naming businesses and fortunes, but not the name so what is the definition of being a celebrity?

someone whose name you don't know?

Like Wikson did attend TCU but left for Hollywood.

 

[LoudFrog]

Tom Lehman’s son and Jack Swarbicks son Notre Dame’s athletic director both attended TCU

Wasn't Sonics founders daughter there in late 90's?

You mean Sonica?

Yes, true. I can't make that up. My sister was a Zeta and they thought it was the funniest name on the composite (probably still is). An alumna from her pledge class told them her background during a sorority homecoming event.

Sanders Campbell IV went there. He may not be a longtime celebrity but he is to us Wheel fans. He won big and now that I read this article on what he did with some of the $, I like him even more.

Lee Harvey Oswald applied, but was rejected.

 

[HToady]

Tom Lehman's daughters also attended TCU, and I think Rick Neuhisal's son is here now. I see Rick hanging around FW a bunch.

I wanna say AJ Foyt had a son/nephew that was at TCU in the late 90’s.

Larry Foyt, AJ's adopted son, runs their IndyCar team

Lee Harvey Oswald applied, but was rejected.

Never heard of him. Must be another rich person.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

Tom Grieve's knucklehead son pitched for TCU.

When I was an undergrad, Kaiser Wilhelm's grandson was a student in the B-school.

Wait, for real??
