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 Oklahoma. 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 Oklahoma. These are 5 of the most popular:

  • Kristin Chenoweth, born in Broken Arrow and known for playing Olive Snook in "Pushing Daisies" and for her Broadway roles
  • Olivia Munn, born in Oklahoma City and known for playing Sloan Sabbith in "The Newsroom" and Psylocke in "X-Men: Apocalypse"
  • Rue McClanahan, born in Healdton and known for playing Blanche Devereaux in "The Golden Girls." She passed at the age of 76 in 2010.
  • Laura Spencer, born in Oklahoma City and known for playing Jessica Warren in "Bones."
  • Rachel Cannon, born in Tulsa and known for playing Deidre in "Fresh Off The Boat."
