1976: Alec Baldwin Graduates
from Alfred G. Berner High School

Alec Baldwin, the star of blockbuster films like "The Hunt for Red October" and "Beetlejuice," was born and raised in Massapequa. Alexander Rae Baldwin III grew up in a Cape Cod-style house next to a golf course in the Nassau Shores section with his three brothers, actors Daniel, William, and Stephen, and his two sisters. He worked at odd jobs during his high school years, but also found time to serve as class president during his senior year, graduating from Alfred G. Berner High School in 1976. After studying acting at New York University, Baldwin launched his acting career in the soap opera "The Doctors." He will appear in two upcoming films, "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Cooler," both scheduled for release in November 2003. Baldwin is shown here in a 2001 photo and 1976 high school yearbook shot.
