Laura Nevell
- Actress
Born in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, it was obvious to her
parents that she loved to perform whether it be for family, friends, or
just a bunch of stuffed animals. With an over abundance of energy her
mother found that the passion for performance helped her to channel
that energy into something positive by throwing herself into school
productions such as school plays, holiday parades and community theater
at the early age of 4. It was that special energy and passion that
acted as the catalyst for the green eyed blonde haired beauty to
organize a neighborhood theater group. She would make up songs and
skits with accompanying dance routines moving throughout the
neighborhood entertaining children and adults alike. It was also at the
age of 4 that the little prodigy taught herself how to play the piano
which lead to several of her own original compositions. Her amazed
mother wasted no time enrolling her daughter in a music school but
shortly after learning the basics, the little green eyed beauty opted
out, preferring to tackle the keyboard on her own. Once in high school
she realized her love of performing could segue into a full time career
so she went on to study TV/FILM at Northern Illinois University where
she was active in several college and local on camera productions. At
the same time she hosted a popular local talk show called "Good Morning
Dekalb". Shortly after graduating with a degree in Film/TV production
Laura returned to Chicago where she was quickly signed by one of the
city's most respected talent agencies which lead to a myriad of on
camera commercials, short films and several appearances on the "Jenny
Jones Show". At the same time she was cast in several popular Chicago
theater productions such as "Grease", "In the Boom, Boom, Room" and
"Prisoner of 2nd Avenue". But for Laura the lure of the big screen was
just too tempting not to pass up so like thousands of other aspiring
Hollywood hopefuls she set her sights on Hollywood and headed to the
west coast. Within a matter of a few weeks she landed the role of
Brenda Madison on the ABC Soap "Port Charles", followed by a lead in
the feature film "Girl on a String" and more recently a recurring role
on the daytime Soaps Opera, "Passions". You might also recognize Laura
from her guest appearances on Ryan Seacrest's "On-Air".
