These Celebrities Were All Cheerleaders Before Making It Big

Kathy Griffin

Kathy is a comedian these days, but she used to be a young and fun seventeen-year-old cheerleader. Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Illinois was where she got her kicks...literally! Though she later turned to comedy, she always had a taste for the spotlight. 

Dakota Fanning

Dakota was unlike many on this list due to the fact she started cheering years after she was an established actress. By this time she had already been a part of shows like ER, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Practice, Spin City, Ally McBeal, and more. Campbell Hall School had her on their varsity cheer team. Go Vikings!
