Ina Romeo

The phrase, "Not just a pretty face" is definitely

applicable to this Interlochen Arts Academy

student. Although Ina Romeo is a Detroit

Native, she makes Los Angeles, CA

her home. Many say after meeting this breath- taking 60 (yes 60) year old "Comedian/Actress

/Model/Host" in person, she is the epitome

of funny, intelligence, humbleness and grace.

With her sensual eyes, the face of a goddess

and body of a 20 year old model, its hard to

believe this entertainment veteran of 33+ years

only started getting national notoriety as a

comedian. Romeo says, "I have been acting

since I was 9 years old. One of my first gigs

was for an internationally popular television

show Quincey M. E. (I played Claudia/a

speaking role)." She continues, "Although I

have achieved a nice level of success in the

entertainment industry with such roles in

television and movies shows: Caroline in the

City, Judging Amy, Hill Street Blues, The

Wayans Brothers TV Show, Escape from LA,

Outbreak and more, it was through acting that

I discovered my first love comedy." Romeo

goes on to say, "Through Stand Up Comedy, I

was able to express myself in ways I never

imagine via television and movies. I am able to

feel my audience/feel their souls. I am able to

target individual crowds and venues. I am able

to share the inner most part of me and have the

audience in tears and begging for more. What's

next for me? The world! After that, maybe a

comedy album netting me a Grammy. With

God as my head, the possibilities are endless."
