Cynthia Bailey
Until Cynthia Bailey left the state at 18 for a position in NYC, this actress worked on a football field. At Deshler High School, the reality TV star and actress cheered for the local team in her home state of Alabama. The rest is history for this Hollywood star.
Gabrielle Union
Another actress who starred in ‘Bring It On’ back in 2000 was Gabrielle Union, so again it’s no surprise that she was a high school cheerleader. While living in Pleasanton, California, she honed her abilities, probably motivated by her sports-centric family. This was the one thing she was supposed to be passionate about growing up, according to the actress, regardless of whether or not she was performing. Cheerleading was a great way to show her sporting support, and it also helped her with her career, obviously.
