These Celebrities Were All Cheerleaders Before Making It Big

Sally Field

You might recognize this celeb from her work in Forest Gump or Mrs. Doubtfire, but she was performing long before that. This star was a cheer team member at Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, California. Later on, though, she would be a star known for shows like The Flying Nun and Gidget.

Fergie

Born as Stacie Ann Ferguson, Fergie was a beloved member of her high school cheer team for her sunny attitude and pretty face. She also defied the stereotype that cheerleaders are dumb, considering she was a straight-A student at Glen A. Wilson High School. She later went on to join the Black Eyed Peas.
