Biography |
Beverley Mitchell was born January 22, 1981, in
Arcadia, California, and is an only child. Her father David,
an auto racing promoter, and mom Sharon, an office manager,
have since divorced.
Whether or not she was aware that she had an affinity for
acting, destiny would come a knocking at a very young age.
When she was only four, a talent manager noticed her having
a temper tantrum in a mall, liked her spunk, and approached
her about appearing in a commercial. Soon enough, Beverley
got her first big break, appearing in a TV campaign for
Oscar Mayer.
More commercials soon followed and Mitchell did work for
industry giants like Energizer, Disney and Cream of Wheat.
Such work eventually led to TV gigs, and in 1988, Beverley
Mitchell made her TV debut with a guest appearance on the
NBC soap, Days of Our Lives. It wasn't long before she made
the leap to primetime; her numerous credits include
appearances on Melrose Place, Baywatch, Quantum Leap, and
the sitcom, Phenom, starring Judith Light.
Mitchell also appeared in small, independent features such
as 1994's Killing Obsession as well as made-for-TV movies
such as the 1992 miniseries Sinatra (as young Nancy) and
1995's White Dwarf.
But it was in 1996 that Beverley Mitchell's career was
launched to new heights. She was cast as the minister's
good-girl daughter, Lucy Camden, on the family drama, 7th
Heaven, co-starring Jessica Biel and executive produced by
Aaron Spelling. The series has gone on to become one of the
WB's highest-rated shows, making Mitchell a star in the
process.
Things haven't always been cheery for Beverley, however.
Shortly after landing the role of Lucy, her parents split
up. One year later, she lost a close friend who died in a
car accident (the tragedy prompted 7th Heaven's writers to
incorporate a similar storyline in the show).
But Beverley Mitchell is enjoying her success and life to
the fullest.
When she's not working or taking care of her two cats and
two dogs, "Bev," as her friends refer to her, enjoys
singing, shopping, and spending time with her boyfriend.
Beverley Mitchell is currently studying film at Loyola
Marymount University and recently began production on 7th
Heaven's 7th season. |
