Back in their youth in Illinois, Denise was an athletic Tomboy. When she relocated to Oceanside, California, she chose to alter her aesthetic and to join the cheering team at El Camino High School. She began starring in shows such as Saved By The Bell and Married With Kids, eventually dating her now-ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.

Kelly Ripa

Kelly Ripa was born and raised as an entertainer in southern New Jersey. The future soap opera star entered the cheerleading team while attending Eastern Regional High School, shouting lively to the crowds. At school, she got drama classes as well. Her educator, Jim Beckley, advised her to keep acting, and she is probably happy to have pursued that recommendation.
