Season one of "Dancing With The Stars" featured only six contestants, yet it was the kind of celebrity line-up that fans have generally expected from the show. 

During the first season, there was a boy band member, a supermodel, a "Bachelor" star, a soap opera star, a comic actor, and an athlete.

Season one ran for six weeks from June 1 to July 6, 2005. Scroll on to remember the celebrities who participated in the first season of "DWTS."

I’ve missed this smile. Don’t get me wrong...I know I have a life full of blessings that I shouldn’t take for granted. I wrote a book on the power of gratitude for crying out loud. But, the past 4 months have been a struggle to say the least. Starting with the pain & ongoing debilitation from my first broken bone, to the fear & uncertainty due to a global pandemic, to my failure to cope & be present as a parent, to the financial insecurity from jobs lost because of quarantine, to falling short in home-schooling my kids, to FOMO, to being a single parent & missing my hard-working husband, to comparing myself to younger & more successful women from #bachelornation, to wanting to support the Black Lives Matter movement & feeling the weight of the world as a sensitive soul, to contemplating my future & questioning what I can be when my kids don’t need me anymore...it hasn’t been a time that I’ve done a lot of smiling. The demons have been attacking & I haven’t had the strength or the energy to put up much of a fight. Mental health issues are in my genes & when I’m stressed or scared or overwhelmed (or all three!), my motivation hits the floor & I can’t seem to pick myself up and keep fighting for happiness, let alone get out of bed. Thankfully, I feel the cloud lifting. With our community opening back up & the prospect of getting back to the things that fuel me like time with friends & happy kids doing what they love, I am feeling stronger & safer & happier. The realist in me knows that I still have to put up the fight against inner demons attacking especially for my family, & that our country is still hurting and COVID is still on a rampage, but with each phone call or zoom or lunch date or birthday celebration, I’m finding my way back to that happy place where my smile can shine bright. If you’ve gotten this far, sorry for the ramble, but I share not only to hold myself accountable, but to also let anyone else out there also feeling the struggle, to know that you aren’t alone. Every day may not always be easy, but let’s keep putting one foot in front of the other & finding our way back to our smiles. ❤️ #realtalk #thestruggleisreal

EVANDER HOLYFIELD

Evander Holyfield, a boxing legend, was clearly the biggest star in the first season of "DWTS." In 2012, Holyfield retired from boxing for good.

After "DWTS," he showed up on "Celebrity Big Brother U.K" and, unfortunately, became the first housemate to be evicted.

At the age of 57, Holyfield looked fit as a fiddle as he regularly burns calories with an exhausting weights session.

JOEY MCINTYRE

Since the age of six, Joseph McIntyre has been working as an artist. He shot to fame when he was picked to become a member of the band New Kids on the Block in 1985.

After the band broke up in 1994, McIntyre pursued acting and was chosen to star as Matt Hucklebee in the hit 2000 film, "The Fantasticks."

JOHN O' HURLEY

John O'Hurley has starred in several hit projects, including "Seinfeld" (1989) and  "A Whole New Ballgame" (1995).
