Are You A Preppie? This poster featuring Nathaniel Elliot Worthington III was printed in 1979 by Tom Shadyac, an undergraduate at the University of Virginia, who went on to film school at UCLA and later directed the movies Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Evan Almighty. The poster was wildly popular when it came out. One has to wonder whether it might have inspired Lisa Birnbach’s more in-depth anthropological treatment in The Official Preppy Handbook, which appeared one year later.
