Kevin Spacey told James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio, that one of the turning points of his life was at a high school drama festival when he saw Kilmer and Mare Winningham in “The Prime of Miss Jean Brody” and when the drama teacher Robert Correlli invited him to transfer to Chatsworth High School, he accepted. In the same interview with James Lipton, Spacey also said he went to Julliard because Kilmer did, who was the youngest person, to that day, ever admitted to Julliard.

And it was either Beverly Hills High, because of their very talented pool of students or Chatsworth High that would win all these festivals."
