I'm an avid movie fan and had never heard of Jay Roach.

More well known to me as the husband of Susanna Hoffs whom I still see around town in LA.  Roach is a lucky guy.

I guess all of those 25 are more famous than Hewlett, Packard and the 35th president, John Kennedy.

Also astounding that Jay Roach managed to marry an alum from a university that's much superior to his alma mater.

By the way, I don't think JFK counts as an alum.

He audited Stanford classes in the fall of 1940. I don't believe he was actually enrolled as a student.

You're right.  He doesn't, but Robert McNamara does count for your alma mater.
