Date of Birth : Mar 6th 1968

Possessing an earthy almost childlike glow and a contrasting dark beauty that lent itself well to early roles in such films as Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Chaplin (both 1992), actress Moira Kelly subsequently went on to become one of the most underappreciated actresses of the 1990s, despite some truly striking performances. Kelly was born the third of six children in Queens, New York City, in March of 1968; her father was a professional violinist and her mother, a nurse. Inspired by classical and big band music, young Kelly followed in her father’s musical footsteps by trying her hand at the violin, drums, and flute. Kelly was raised in Ronkonkoma, NY, and competed in opera while attending Connetquot High School in the mid-’80s. It was there that the acting bug bit, and when Kelly was cast in a small role in the high school’s production of Annie, her role was unexpectedly expanded as the actress playing Miss Hannigan fell ill and Kelly was recast as Grace Ferrell. Rounding out her education at New York City’s Marymount Manhattan College, Kelly worked a series of odd jobs while attending college in order to finance her education. Facing an important life decision, Kelly began to weigh her childhood dream of becoming a nun against a busy life in the limelight. Convinced by her priest that acting may be part of God’s larger plan for her, Kelly eagerly began work on her first feature.
