7 Of The Most Famous Actresses From Texas

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 Texas. 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 Texas. These are 7 of the most popular:

• Dakota Johnson, born in Austin and is known for playing Anastasia Steele in the "50 Shades of Grey" movies. She's also the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.
