The story of Laura Vikmanis, who at 42 is the oldest cheerleader in NFL history, is being made into a movie. New Line has picked up the story of Vikmanis, acquiring her life rights as well as a pitch by writers Emily Cook and Kathy Greenberg. At age 39, she tried out for the Ben-Gals squad but failed. Vikmanis, however, spent a year improving her fitness and working on routines and returned to tryouts the following year. She made the squad.
