NFL's Oldest Cheerleader, Laura Vikmanis, cheerleader for the Cincinnati Ben-gals.At 42 years old, Laura Vikmanis is the NFL's oldest cheerleader. A registered dietician, trainer and mom of teenagers who set her mind to making the squad and joined the Cincinnati Bengals' Ben-Gals squad in 2009, Vikmanis serves as a guide for her younger cheerleading teammates. If it sounds like a Hollywood film, well, it soon will be.

We've already seen inspirational true stories about aspiring football players overcoming the odds to play for their favorite team in films like Rudy and Invincible. So it only seems logical that the next move is to tell the story of an NFL cheerleader struggling to make the squad.

The Hollywood Reporter writes:
Vikmanis, a mother with two teenage daughters, was shaken after her husband left her for a younger woman. At a Cincinnati Bengals game, her sister suggested she find something to make her happy, and Vikmanis, who had been a dancer, looked to the field and said being a cheerleader looked like fun.
