Lenore Andriel
- Actress
- Writer
- Producer
Andriel grew up on the east coast, where
she studied at the Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey.
After her successful endeavor with the Ritz Theatre and upon taking
Dangerfield's advice, she then moved to New York City to begin her
studies in stagecraft with many award-winning teachers. Once completed,
her theatre work was instantly successful with lead roles from
OffBroadway to Lincoln Center.
It was Rodney Dangerfield, who first discovered Lenore Andriel while she was addressing an audience of 3,000 at the Ritz Theatre, in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Astonishingly, at the ripe age of 21, Andriel owned and ran the Ritz, where Dangerfield was performing that night. Having come up with the idea of owning a gorgeous showplace, replete with nightly star performers, Andriel set out to own it and found the funding to do it. She then successfully produced there, the likes of: The Oakridge Boys, Waylon Jennings, The Marshall Tucker Band, Spyro Gyra, Jeff Lorber, Mickey Gilley, George Carlin, 'Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Jr., Jerry Lee Lewis, Chic Corea, Ray Charles, and many others.
But it was Dangerfield who saw her at such a young age, be able to mesmerize and hold a huge audience captive. His words were more fortuitous, than either of them ever could have imagined Therefore it is no surprise to learn of Andriel's recent success for her eighteen award winnings (and still counting) for her feature film - Yellow Rock (2011), in which she starred, wrote, and produced.
Her first starring film role was opposite Bo Svenson in "Blood Brothers", which led to her continuing to being cast as the "strong female lead". She then played leads in award-winning independent films in both the u.s. and abroad, including "Childhood" opposite Tara Fitzgerald, which filmed throughout eastern Europe, Midnight Witness (1993) that gave her, her entrée to the Cannes Film Festival with Maxwell Caulfield, and the tear-jerker indie L'enjeu (1998), that gave her one of her first award nominations for "Best Supporting Actress". She has additionally starred opposite Paul Rudd, Dennis Haysbert, Paul Johansson, and Miguel Ferrer, to name a few in both film and television.
Additionally, as a voice-over actress she portrays several lead characters in "World Of Warcraft". Her list of gaming characters for Blizzard includes: 'Ysera', 'Mothership', 'Archival System', and many more.
An avid world traveler, passionate about the environment, and a consummate horsewoman, Andriel is a 'cowgirl' for real, proving that whatever sets her mind to do, she gets it done.
That is probably the reason why the next phase of her career, was to write, produce and star in her own feature, Yellow Rock (2011), a western with a message. She portrayed the strong female lead as 'Doctor Sarah Taylor', who embraces and supports the failing "Black Paw Tribe" in the dangerous days of 1880 California. Andriel's first venture as a filmmaker paid off, winning her a coveted "Best Actress" Award, "Best Screenplay" - Shared with Co-Writer Steve Doucette, "Best Picture" multiple times, And "Best Producer" before the film had even been released.
"Yellow rock" starring Michael Biehn (Tombstone (1993)), James Russo (Django Unchained (2012)), Lenore Andriel (Midnight Witness (1993)), Michael Spears (Into The West (2005)_), & Eddie Spears (Hell On Wheels (2011)_), has world-wide distribution.

With the success of Yellow Rock (2011), and due to Andriel receiving the 'best actress' wrangler for her role as 'Dr. Sarah Taylor', she has truly been launched into the stratosphere. She additionally plans to create other film projects with her producing partner' Steve Doucette', under their banner of Enlightenment Films, Inc. , in which she will continue to star, write, and produce. This is one "cowgirl" who dared to shoot for the stars and now has become one of them.
