The five famous Oklahoma ballerinas:
Maria Tallchief, the first American ballerina to perform in a major European ballet and America's first Prima Ballerina. Her sister, Majorie Tallchief, both of the Osage Tribe. Rosella Hightower, from the Choctaw Tribe, Yvonne Chouteau, from the Cherokee Tribe and Moscelyene Larkin from the Shawnee Tribe.

Billie Letts, famous author who taught English at Southeastern to my mother and many others.

Somebody already said it but the first person that comes to mind is Troy Aikman, who is initially from Henryetta, Oklahoma. As we all know, he also used to play for the Dallas Cowboys, but now is an NFL commentator.
