The Cheerleaders Who Became Famous – From Pom Poms To Oscars

Sally Field

Here we have another phenomenal woman who was excelling long before her standout roles in classic films like Mrs. Doubtfire and Forrest Gump. Sally Field had an electric personality that really shone while cheerleading for Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, California. She would build on her cheerleading successes and experiences when she cracked her first television roles in series like Gidget and The Flying Nun. Field is a legend in her own way.

Fergie

You will not believe how different Fergie looks in the picture below, compared to her modern ambiguous appearance! Real name Stacie Ann Ferguson, the blonde-haired and blue-eyed angel was a firm favorite on her cheerleading squad and school in general. Seeing as the young Stacie was also a top student, no one could give her grief for the stereotypical nonsense that cheerleaders are stupid. She excelled in every way at Glen A. Wilson High School, which she left with the ambition of becoming a top pop star.
