Elyse Cantor
- Actress
Elyse Danielle Cantor was born in the
suburbs of Metro Detroit. She spent her childhood years acting,
dancing, and singing around the house, as well as competing in dance
for Miss Barbara's Dance Centre. A voracious reader, Elyse was accepted
to Cranbrook Kingswood at age eleven, where her parents felt she would
be better academically challenged. It was here that her love of the
arts was encouraged by various faculty, as she took acting, vocal, and
additional dance classes, as well as appeared in various school
performances. She continued following her passions at the University of
Michigan, where she studied film, and then at NYU, where she studied
acting. Elyse is the daughter of Judy Sklar and Scott Cantor, and has
one younger brother named Blake.
