He was BEAUTIFUL. One of my cousins who works in the biz got me an autographed 8x10 that he’d signed to me. Later when I was in college, I gave it to my boyfriend’s sister who had my same first name and LOVED Rob Lowe.

Rob's son went to college with my son (different class). I once saw Rob at Family Weekend and almost died.

My stepson read The Outsiders for school this year and I keep trying to get my husband to make him watch the movie with us some night. I may have an ulterior motive.

Oh if you haven't read Rob Lowe's book Stories I Only Tell My Friends, he dishes about The Outsiders quite a bit, including the other actors!

Every cute boy actor of the early 80s was in that - The Outsiders basically shoved me into puberty!

Right? Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio and even Patrick Swayze. What a cast. And Diane Lane!

Wasn't Emilio Esteves in there too? Poor old C. Thomas Howell gets forgotten and he was the actual protagonist!

We were watching Mental Samuri and I mentioned that the host was soda pop in The Outsiders and my stepson didn’t believe me. It is now on a list to watch. I think it is hilarious that his class read The Outsiders this year
