As announced on Monday, every day this week we’ll be sharing yearbook photos of some of your favorite Hudson Valley celebrities. The catch? You’re going to have to guess the identity of the local celeb based on his or her photo, and some fun facts.

Today’s mystery celeb had showbiz aspirations at a young age, as demonstrated by her yearbook photo (she's the person standing on the right). In fact, her mother was one of the most legendary figures in show business.

So who is this Hudson Valley star? Here are some more clues:

1. Her godfather was the famous lyricist Ira Gershwin, and her first acting role was in one of her mother’s films at age 3.

2. As a student at Scarsdale High School in 1961, she played the title role in the school’s production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" (pictured above).

3. She has the rare distinction of achieving an “EGOT” – which means she has received an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award in her career.

Think you know who it is? Let us know in the comments, and then come back here tomorrow for the next celebrity yearbook photo. We’ll reveal the identities of all the stars next week in a special photo gallery.
