Ambre Anderson was born in Baltimore, Maryland. She is the daughter of Dr. Marcia Henson-Coakley (Dentist, Singer, Pianist) and Curt Anderson (News Anchor, Attorney, State Delegate) and has three younger brothers. She graduated with a BFA from Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she won a modeling competition that led to her doing modeling ads for department store catalogs in New York

After moving to NY, she established herself as a SAG-AFTRA actress beginning with a creative Jeep Liberty commercial where she portrayed an art student painting a Jeep, and then driving away in it. Her first TV role came within three weeks after moving to LA, as a feisty waitress in "All of US", which was executive produced by Will and Jada Smith and Directed by Debbie Allen. She was cast in commercials in Tel-Aviv, Israel, as well as South Africa, and even landed a Super Bowl commercial in 2022.

In Ambre's passion project, the sitcom pilot "Ms. Renaissance," she directed, wrote, and starred. Ms. Renaissance was accepted into five film festivals including the 2019 People's Film Festival in NYC, where she won, "Best Actress". After the Ms. Renaissance film festival run, Anderson took hold of her project and rented out movie theaters in New York and Baltimore, selling out her show in both locations. In 2023 Anderson was awarded Best Actress in an independent film, by the Cannes World Film Festival, for her role in Rhapsody in Justice. Ambre regards one of her highest achievements in the form of a tweet by Marvin Sapp Jr., after being cast as (the late) Dr. Malinda Sapp in the 2022 TV-movie "Never Would Have Made It," the Marvin Sapp Story. The tweet simply stated, "...Thank you, for showcasing my mom as the amazing woman she is and thank you @AmbreAnderson, for playing her; we knew there was no better person for the role."

Her inclination to write, perform, and direct stems from her passion for inspiring people and evoking laughter, her aspiration to provide exposure for diverse talents, and her involvement in crafting stories alongside talented creatives. Beyond her acting career, Ambre has a vibrant background as an international model, children's book author, Huffington Post columnist, and an award-winning fine artist.

Ambre proclaims that her highest honor will forever be her identity as the daughter of Dr. Marcia Henson-Coakley, who passed away in 2023. "If I can be half the woman my mother was, I would consider myself to be pretty damn incredible."
