Grab your band uniform and start practicing your comebacks, because school is back in session. You might be surprised at some of the A-listers who suffered the wrath of mean girls and bullies, but the teasing they survived may be part of the secret to their success.

When Forbes magazine recently released their list of Hollywood’s Top-Paid Actresses for 2012, everyone was buzzing on who made the list and who didn’t even come close. While the following actresses in our gallery landed the coveted Top 10 spots, out of all of the big (and small) screen actresses out there, you may be surprised which newbie film star landed on the list and is ahead in earnings than a more established and well-known and beloved actress. But, these ladies all have one thing in common: before the fame, they all started somewhere, and often it was a high school drama club or early modeling gigs or taking on much smaller roles to pay the bills. Snakkle dug up pics of these top earners during their more humble beginnings.

For celebs, walking the Hollywood red carpet in gorgeous dresses or suave suits is just part of the job. Not many of us will ever get to experience that kind of glamour, but everyone has to start somewhere, right?  Average folks and the famous usually get their first taste of looking fancy and dressing to impress at our high school proms. Snakkle collected some revealing pictures of Hollywood’s most fabulous attending their proms. Can you name these fresh-faced high school kids who would find future fame?

Although Sandra Bullock was already a big star when she won an Oscar for The Blind Side a couple of years ago, things seemed to change after that. Her role in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (opening December 25) is her first since winning the coveted golden statue. She’s hardly been out of sight, though, thanks to an unfortunate and extremely public split with the philandering Jesse James, who really must be an idiot. Dude. You were married to Sandra Bullock. She’s gorgeous, successful, and… well, she’s Sandra Bullock. To prove our point, let’s look at some of the lovely Ms. Bullock’s work.
