Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (1)
Deanovoy Nichols was absolutely one of the original seven who kicked off the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in 1972, the tiny crew that swapped chants for jazz moves and made fringe a national obsession. Tex Schramm hand-picked her straight out of auditions, and there she was, holding cowboy hats in that Smithsonian black-and-white, right next to Carrie O'Brien and the rest, turning Texas Stadium into a runway. She only lasted that one season, but she helped set the blueprint, no college degree required, just guts and a killer leap. Check your own Pompedia stub or the museum's photo; she's the one grinning like she knows they're about to own the decade.
She passed away in 2019 with privately held details, her legacy's in that Smithsonian shot-smiling, alive, eternal.
