Reba Nell McEntire was born in McAlester, Oklahoma on March 28, 1955. Raised in a family notorious for their barrel racing and rodeo skills, she became interested in music at an early age. She got her big break in 1974 when she performed the Star Spangled Banner at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma. There, she caught the attention of Red Steagall who suggested that she begin a career in Country Music. In 1977 Reba released her first album, and has since become the #1 Best-Selling Female Country Artist. In 1990 she began many new ventures, motherhood and acting. Appearing in the cultMore classis Tremors was the first step to an acting career that still continues to build. Reba has been married twice. Her failed marriage with Charlie Battles lasted from 1976 until 1987, and she married her band manager Narvel Blackstock in June of 1989. She has one son (with Blackstock), Shelby Steven McEntire Blackstock. Reba is not only known as a Country Superstar and rising actress but as well for her charitable work. Reba has also written two books. The first book entitled "Reba: My Story," was written in 1994. In 1999 she wrote "Comfort from a Country Quilt." In 2001 she starred as Annie Oakley in "Annie Get your Gun" on Broadway. After her short run on broadway Reba starred in the WB hit TV show "Reba" as a southern soccermom, learning to handle life after it comes crashing down around her. More recently she, in collaboration with Dilliard's department store, has started her own clothing line for women. There's no doubt that Reba will continue her amazing career for many years to come.

    Reba McEntire is an amazing red-headed actress with the voice of an angel. She can sing, she can act and she has so many amazing talents. When I get older, I hope to be like her. I've never heard a song and not wanted to be able to sing like her. She's so sweet and she has tons of inner beauty as well as outer beauty. My dream is to be able to meet her; that would be so cool! I love Reba and I hope she keeps singing and acting for a really long time. You can tell she loves what she does.

    Rockin' Reba! hide show

    Hahaha, wanna know why I called her Rockin' Reba? It's because she's Reba, and she rocks! She totally rocks! I love her singing. I love her acting! She is so talented, and I hear she's really nice! I think my favorite Reba role is in the show "Reba." She was hilarious in that show! I watch it every chance I get! I love her role as Reba Hart. She always puts a smile on my face. She can do that to anyone. I hope I get to meet her one day and tell her she is a great role model.

    She's amazing! hide show

    Reba McEntire is wonderful. She's kind, loving, and generous. I first saw her on her TV shoe "Reba". I immediatly fell in love with the show. Then I found out she was a country singer. This woman's amazing, her voice is outstanding. Although I don't listen to her often, I still enjoy her songs. I even went to a Reba concert, it was so cool to know that I'm in the same room as Reba McEntire (Even though I was like 5,000 feet away lol!) Her character on Reba is a single mom who has to deal with her divorce from her husband. She's always loving, and she has prooven that she's a survivor!!!

    I LOVE REBA!!!!!! hide show

    I idolize Reba so much! She is extremely talented in so many arenas. She is a fabulous singer, and her acting is fantastic! It really amazes me all that she does. It is also wonderful and comforting to know that even though she is so great, she is one of the most down-to-earth people like ever!!! She is funny and the older she gets, the more beautiful she gets. She definately looks better than all those stuck-up celebs who are having all these cosmetic surgeries in their 30s+. I have never met her, but it would be a supreme privilege if one day I do. Reba is amazing and that's all there is to it. I don't understand how anyone could feel any negativities to her.

    Reba Mcentire is my Hero! hide show

    Yes, she is. She has got to be the coolest person ever. Her show was the best thing on TV! I still watch the re-runs. It is my favorite show of ALL TIME! Her music is like nothing I have ever heard before. Her voice is iconic, when you hear it, you know it is her. I haven't seen anything she has done and not loved it. One of the most talented people of all time. She has great peronality and work ethic. I hope that one day I will be as half as great as she is. She has made an impact on my life. She is the coolest ever. You gotta love Reba!!!!
