    Not as far as I'm aware. Academy Award winner Geena Davis did try out as an Archer for the 2000 Summer Olympics though. Out of 300 women, she came 24th, but did not qualify.

    Yes. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won Olympic Gold in basketball in 1968 and won Best Supporting Actor in 1980 for his role as Roger Murdock in the movie "Airplane".
