Yet another post in the “Hollywood’s fresh faces” category, where I try to promote young actresses that are still not very well known (but probably will be).
Here are some pictures of the talented 15-year-old actress and singer Jillian Clare at the LA premiere of “Run Fatboy Run” on Monday (March 24).
Jillian Clare is an exuberant, accomplished award winning young actress/singer originally from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. At five years old Jillian began singing and dancing on stage winning accolades and numerous vocal talent awards. Her acting career began when she was 6, entertaining audiences performing in a one person original musical titled ‘A Dream is a Wish‘. Commercial work quickly followed, along with a lead role in the independent pilot, Bright Lights.
Since arriving in Los Angeles during the summer of 2000, Jillian has been busy lending her considerable talent to television and films. Her compelling performance portraying pre-teen ‘Abby Deveraux‘ on NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” (1965), earned her the 2004 and 2005 ‘Young Artist Award’ as the Best Recurring Young Actress on television. In addition, she has appeared in many commercials, several feature and short subject films, including, the blockbuster Spider-Man (2002), a starring role in the family film Quigley (2003) opposite Gary Busey, and the multi-award winning short, Chasing Daylight (2004). 2004 brought another dimension to Jillian’s career, with a hosting job on the Universal pilot presentation, All Access Pass, a news magazine show geared toward kids and teens. In 2005, a new credit was added to her resume as she not only starred in but also executive produced the live action comedy pilot, L.A.F.I.T. She also co-wrote and recorded the theme song for the pilot.
Jillian continues to appear on-stage in both musicals and dramatic plays, something she holds dear to her heart. While working on the popular soap opera, she successfully juggled her ‘Days‘ schedule to star as ‘Scout‘ in Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird on stage at the West Coast Ensemble in Hollywood. Other stage productions include, Music Man, Annie Get Your Gun, Meet Me in St. Louis, A Christmas Carol and the original show, Meet Me at the Oak, a role that earned the young actress a ‘Best Child Actor’ award. During the 2000 Christmas season, Jillian played ‘Cindy Lou-Who‘ in the live production of Grinchmas at Universal Studios in Hollywood. To date, she is the youngest performer ever hired at the theme park. [IMDB]
Jillian was born on July 25, 1992 in the United States, and is 5′ 4″ (1.63 m) tall.
