Biography |
Ellen Anna Muth (born March 6, 1981, in Milford,
Connecticut) is an American film and television actress,
best known for her role as Georgia "George" Lass in
Showtime's short-lived series Dead Like Me. She is also a
member of Intertel and Mensa, a student at the Lee Strasberg
Theatre Institute, races automobiles, and collects Burmese
cats. Her awards include Best Actress at the AFI for The
Young Girl and the Monsoon (1999) and best supporting
actress at the Japanese Film Festival for Dolores Claiborne
(1995), in which she made her screen debut.
Ellen Muth was raised in Connecticut by her mother and
optician father. As a child Ellen had various interests
which included horseback riding, dance, singing, and target
shooting. When she was about twelve she became interested in
modelling and was eventually accepted at Ford Models.
Because Ford would only use her for limited dress sizes,
Ellen soon joined the Rascal's Agency and was shot for the
cover, middle and back pages of a Sawgrass Mills catalogue
when she was thirteen. By the time she was fourteen Ellen
had decided that her career of choice was acting, this being
influenced by her involvement in various school plays and
the like. Ellen studied acting at the NYC Lee Strasberg
Theatre Institute and got her start doing commercials in
1993. From there many film and television choices followed,
though she did take some time off to finish school. |
