Actress: Mary Fae Smith
When Mary Fae Smith was ten-years-old stared in sher first major theatrical production—James and the Giant Peach. She was the Ladybug. It was that performance that sealed her fate and set her soul’s determination of becoming a professional actress. That production was her catalyst. From then on, she began to plan out her life as an actress!
As a high school student, she spent two summer’s studying acting at the Donna Reed Festival for young actors. When she graduated from high school, she moved to California to attend college at Chapman University majoring in theatre performance. But, college made her extremely antsy about wasting 4 years to begin her career. So, she crammed a BFA into 2 years and spent her summer vacations doing community theatre in Orange County, CA and her final year of college starring in her first feature film—Happy Holidays. Happy Holidays was written and directed by another driven individual who eventually became her best friend.
Upon completing college, Mary wasted no time moving to LA and getting herself “out there” into the world or auditions, networking and building her career. Working on as many productions as she could—from commercials to web-serios to indie films to, yes, even background work (even, though she doesn’t always admitting that). Recently Mary achieved her goal of becoming eligible to join the Screen Actor’s Guild and has several goals for the rest of 2010. One is to book a national commercial. Another is to book at least one guest star role for television. Her big fat ultimate goal is to get a role on Mad Men. Currently, she is focusing on the role she will be playing in the upcoming film True Perfection written and directed by the same writer and director of Happy Holidays—S. Mohen. She is excited about this upcoming project and role and ready for the challenge of a new complex and dynamic character!
