Olivia Wilde

People probably know Olivia Wilde for her role in the medical drama ‘House these days. It’s the biggest part she’s played in the last few decades, although it’s not her only one by any means. Unfortunately, none of these roles have seen Wilde as a cheerleader, which is basically what she was at Phillips Academy. The actress has racked up dozens of credits, from the teen drama ‘The O.C.’ to the sci-fi action movie ‘Tron: Legacy.’ She was on the step team, which is almost identical to cheerleading.

Kirstie Alley

In Wichita, Kansas, Kirstie Alley was born in 1951. She grew up with her mother, father, brother, and sister. In fact, Kirstie seems to have the whole American life always painted on the pictures – an even more complete look because she was a cheerleader. At high school in Southeast Wichita, Kirstie started cheering. She could yell, cheer, and scream with the best of them. She moved to Kansas State University after high school before finally leaving to pursue the acting career for which we all know and love her for today.
