Can you guess the name of this young drama queen center stage at her high school play? The fresh-faced teen is just one of dozens of A-lister alumni of the Upper West Side’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, better known as the “Fame” high school. Alumni & Friends of LaGuardia kindly shared with The Post some vintage yearbooks from the famous school. The group raises about $450,000 a year in extra funding to pay for scholarships, buy equipment and offer master classes led by the nation’s top actors, musicians, singers and artists. See if you can identify some of the city’s finest actors in their awkward teen years. Fiorello H. LaGuardia HS of Music & Art and Performing Arts
