Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria is one former cheerleader that kept her pyramid climbs, high-kicks, and pom-poms going for as long as she could before becoming the celebrity that she is today. Longoria was a cheerleader for Roy Miller High School and continued to cheerlead in college while enrolled in Texas A&M.
Cheer rarely goes beyond the university level. It was finally time for Longoria to retire, but the Mexican actress quickly found work after being discovered in L.A. She went on to become a Miss Corpus Christi in 1998 and appeared in numerous television shows, such as CBS’ The Young and the Restless and Desperate Housewives.
