Everyone has their favorite celebrities in the entertainment industry, and it’s always more exciting when they share the same home state.

That’s why Stacker compiled a list of the most famous actresses from Nebraska. The data journalism hub states:

“From A-list movie stars and major musicians to pro ball players and comedians who landed their own sitcoms, there's no shortage of evidence of just how good the good life is…But the vast majority of these celebrities were born and raised outside of Hollywood, finding their way to the bright lights and big money of superstardom from obscure beginnings in regular small towns and cities across the country.”

Stacker used IMDb’s most popular list to find the most famous actresses from Nebraska. These are 5 of the most popular:

  1. Emily Kinney, born in Wayne and known for playing Beth Greene in “The Walking Dead,” among other roles.
  2. Gabrielle Union, born in Omaha and known for playing Isis in “Bing It On,” among other roles.
  3. Hilary Swank, born in Lincoln and known for playing Maggie Fitzgerald in “Million Dollar Baby,” among other roles.
  4. Marg Helgenberger, born in Fremont and known for playing Catherine Willows in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” among other roles.
  5. Jamie King, born in Omaha and known for playing Sarah Palmer in “My Bloody Valentine,” among other roles.
