The Cheerleaders Who Became Famous – From Pom Poms To Oscars

Sela Ward

While most of us older folk recognize Sela Ward as one of the best actresses of the previous century, the University of Alabama will always remember her for her phenomenal contribution to its Crimson Tide football team all the way back in the 70s. She also completed her course in fine art and advertising, one which she would not make much use of given how her fabulous career panned out.

Alicia Silverstone

Here we have an incredible 90s icon, best known for her star role in the cult film Clueless where she played the ditzy but lovable Cher Horowitz. What many of her nostalgic fans might not know about her, however, is that she was a standout cheerleader during her time at San Mateo High School. The Bearcats were lucky to have such a stunning and exciting young lady rooting for them!
