in Wisconsin with a population of about 800. Her father, a church

of their small town to live in several different cities including
Mannheim, Germany where Larson attended all four years of High School

get started, Larson moved to Los Angeles three days after her high
school graduation to begin her career. To round out her already worldly
experiences Larson also attended Cal State Los Angeles and majored in
history. A graduate of the Professional Actors Conservatory, Larson is
a dynamic stage actress whose performance as "Jill" in the Los Angeles
stage production of Jack and Jill won the hearts of critics and earned
her rave reviews. The L.A. Weekly called her "engrossing" and
"elegantly satisfying." Larson has appeared in many theatrical
productions including The Cherry Orchard, Prelude to a Kiss and Ah
Wilderness. Most recently, Larson co-wrote, produced and starred in a
short film about the unique craziness that is the Sundance Film
Festival. When not acting, writing or producing, Larson is a marathon
runner and an active member of Women In Film, where she serves as the
chair of the Beverly Hills Chapter.
