“Now Unrecognizable”: 30 People Share What Happened To The Prettiest Girl From Their HS

She died heroically trying to save a stray dog from a flooded river. Normally, I would not mention someone's name specifically, but Jacqueline Kleine Watts was an honest to goodness heroine and deserves to be remembered.
She spent her last minutes trying to pull a terrified dog from one of the deadliest rivers in my area. After a life seemingly devoted to caring for stray animals.

I did not know her well in school. We did not really move in the same circles. But, when I happened upon the story of her eventual fate, I was duly impressed.

If you mean the vivacious outgoing drop dead gorgeous blond blue eyed 5′8″ 36C-24–35 who everybody lusted over and really knew how great everybody thought she was i’ll tell you

three marriages, 2 divorces, 2 addictions, 3 kids. no education as “who needs an education when you’re as stunning as I am?” no money, no future & looks a very rough 65 at 45.

if you mean the 4′11″ slightly overweight , shy girl with the very thick glasses over exceptionally pretty eyes who you could talk to and who had no idea how beautiful she really was I’ll tell you that too.

one marriage of 25 years, two kids, two grandkids, went back to school & has good career, & who at 47 (much to the delight of her husband) looks like her 23 yr old daughter’s slightly older sibling.

guess I married the right one

I married her after we graduated college. We have two beautiful daughters after 31 years of marriage. Sadly she died from brain cancer last year at 56 years old. Gorgeous right to the end when she was admitted to the hospital on Memorial Day. Gone before August.

I do work for her pro bono. I used to look after her kids now and again and do chores to help out. On occasion I'd give her a lift to go shopping, drop her at her family's place, etc. All the stuff that you'd do for a best friend.

And for some reason she keeps insisting we've been married since 2001 and all the s**t I've been doing is also mine to deal with.

The audacity!

I think I was in class with the prettiest girl in my high school. Her hair were dirty blond, she was tall, she had a beautifull and classy face. Very natual - we are French.

She had opinions about politics and morals, she was authentic. When I was bullied, she was the only one who tried to help.

Now, she works for a NGO. She helps orphans in Asia. I am glad she is still the same, with a big heart.

She's a doctor and treated my Dad a couple years ago. Of course he called me to tell me that his hot Doctor knew me and I'm an idiot for not marrying her.

She became a cool, left winger on the West Coast and last I saw, a silver fox - or vixen I guess. She has this wild mane of hair and happy wrinkles.

I married her. That was 52 years ago. She’s even more beautiful now! I’ve been so blessed!

She got her PhD in Aerospace Engineer is traveling around the world to work on her research. Still looks like the prettiest girl in my high school.

She is actually incredibly intelligent. Went on to go to a Ivy League school and became a pretty successful doctor. She’s really a good person too as far as I’m aware. I’m happy for her and her family.

A teacher got her pregnant and she got stuck marrying an old dude. So gross.

They didn't even fire him.

This place is disgusting.

She went on to become a model and now she runs a modelling agency. Very successful but she remained the goofy person she was in high school.

Prettiest girl at the school in the next county over... Somehow she ended up with me. She's a successful hand therapist (she has a hand job.. giggity), smarter than I'll ever be, and just as beautiful 20 years later.

I married her. She gave me two beautiful children. I love her.

I had no idea til just now, because she never used to be on social media.

Just Googled her name and found she's now a university lecturer (she was very smart but I didn't know she was into that particular subject) and had to get a restraining order against a guy more than twice her age who was stalking her. Crazy stuff.

She still looks great.

Got pregnant and dropped out at the end of junior year. Now sings at a really weird church in town and constantly praises Jesus.

Tragically, the prettiest girl in my school, and my friend all through school, married a banker and died in a house fire when she tried to run back into the house to save her children. I never dated her, but took her to prom one year when she didn't have a real date. I try not to think of her too often.

She became an actress, won an Oscar, married and had kids, and has lived a wonderful life.

Which, honestly, is good. She earned it.

She went mad. Wouldn't see a dentist or clean her teeth. Was convinced the ghost of her dead father was watching her all the time. Very weird.

The prettiest girl in my high school was also the brainiest!

She was naturally gifted, and was able to use her brains to grow in her professional and personal life.

She is a globe-trotter now, living in Singapore with her wonderful family!

More power to her!
