5 Of The Most Famous Actresses From Kentucky

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

• Jennifer Lawrence, born in Louisville and known for playing Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" series.
• Rumer Willis, born in Paducah and known for playing Tory Ash on "Empire" and appearing as the lion on "The Masked Singer." She's also the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis.
