Misty Anne Upham, born in Kallispell, Montana, grew up in south
Seattle, the fourth of five children. She began her career at the age
of thirteen when she joined a community theater group, Red Eagle

job. By the age of fourteen she was writing and directing short skits
and performing on tours throughout the northwest. In the next four
years she would be accepted to several Seattle theater companies, all
while attending high school. Her first break came in 2001 when she
landed the role of Mrs. Blue Cloud in Chris Eyre's sophmore project
Skins (2002), where she portrayed a victim of domestic abuse on the Pine Ridge reservation. She also had a large role in the family drama Un été à Osage County (2013), playing Johnna Monevata, a live-in housekeeper.
