So You Think You Know Who's From Oklahoma? You Might Be Surprised!
Oklahoma: land of endless plains, delicious fried onion burgers, and...Hollywood A-listers? You betcha! While the state might not be the first place that comes to mind for star spotting, Oklahoma has churned out its fair share of famous faces.
From Silver Screen Legends to Country Crooners
We're talking award-winning actors like the oh-so-smooth James Garner (yep, Rockford himself!) and the ever-charming Brad Pitt (who knew?). Oklahoma can also boast iconic directors like Ron Howard (Happy Days director turned Oscar winner, no less!).
But Oklahoma's famous folks extend far beyond the silver screen. Buckle up for some twangy tunes, because the state is also a breeding ground for country music royalty. We've got the legendary Reba McEntire with her mile-high hair and voice to match, and the mullet-wearing, chart-topping Garth Brooks. Even Carrie Underwood, the American Idol darling turned country superstar, hails from Oklahoma!

QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Think Oklahoma is all about cowboys and cowgirls? Think again! We've got funny folks like Bill Hader (from SNL fame) and Kristin Chenoweth, the powerhouse vocalist with a smile that could light up a stadium. Oklahoma even gave the world Dr. Phil, though whether that's a source of pride is a whole other debate!
