There are actors who use thousands of cliches prepared in advance for their roles. American actress Kelly Overton does not recognize patterns - she plays on a whim, intuitively. And that is why the images she creates are so deep and psychologically brightly colored.
Kelly Overton was born in the small town of Massachusetts - Waibragam in 1978. Parents from an early age saw their daughter's gift of reincarnation: she could portray anyone. Therefore, performances were often organized in their house and various stories were played out, where Kelly was assigned only the main roles.
Therefore, she knew for sure that after school she would enter the Academy of Dramatic Art. And so it happened - a talented girl easily entered a theater university and was educated as an actress in 1999.
Film career
Immediately after graduation, Kelly was invited to the TV series "All My Children". The debut was successful, and roles in television series were provided for her. However, Overton wanted to star in a serious movie, and in 2003 she was lucky to play a small role in the film Family Values. The actress was dissatisfied with this work of hers and was disappointed in herself, but not for long.
Soon, offers from the producers of the series began to arrive, and she plunged headlong into endless filming. For several years she starred in such TV series as Criminal Minds, Detective Rush, Crime Scene In Miami and others.
Kelly Overton gained real fame after the release of the TV series "True Blood" (2008). She played one of the many vampires of a small town, and yet somehow stood out from the general line of actors. The horror series was a resounding success. Film critics noticed the unusual manner of presenting the image, and appreciated it. The series has won several prestigious awards.
Overton's irrepressible character did not allow her to rest on her laurels, and she decided to start producing. By 2008, she had already starred in grossing films, had a good reputation among producers and directors, but she also wanted to try to make a film.
She began filming the film "The Collective", becoming its screenwriter, producer and director. The film was released in 2008, and the creators really hoped for its success, but it did not work out. The picture was favorably received by critics as a directorial debut, but the audience reacted coolly to it.
Then Kelly postponed her dreams of a director's career for the future and returned to filming in TV shows, because as an actress she felt much more confident on the set. Moreover, offers for different roles were received constantly. For example, her latest work is the TV series Legends (2015) and Van Helsing (2016), where she played the daughter of the legendary monster hunter Vanessa Helsing.
Personal life
Once on the set, Kelly met the charming Judson Morgan, who was a real universal in the world of the film industry. Perhaps he conquered the young actress by this. In 2004, Kelly and Judson got married and lived together for ten years. Husband and wife were people of art, and understood each other perfectly. They have two children in this marriage. However, in 2014, the couple broke up.
Since then, Kelly Overton has devoted all her attention to children and work.
