He Was a Cheerleader in High School
Steve Martin was born on April 14, 1945 and comes from an English, Scottish, Welsh, Scots-Irish, German and French background. He was raised with his sister Melinda in a Baptist family in Inglewood and later in Garden Grove, California.
Martin was a cheerleader at Garden Grove High School. Martin didn’t try to hide the fact, nor was he embarrassed by it. But he did make a point to clarify that he was more of a “yell-leader” than a cheerleader. He confessed that he got into trouble for coming up with silly and inappropriate cheers. It looks like Martin was always a comedian.
