Kelsi Simpson
- Actress
Kelsi Simpson was born in Louisville, KY, and lived in the nearby city of LaGrange until her adult years. Having a piano teacher for a mother, she learned music and performing early on. She caught the acting bug in kindergarten when her teacher cast as her as Little Red Riding Hood, and other people told her she looked like little Orphan Annie. Kelsi continued acting on stage at school and church throughout her childhood years while also making her onscreen debut at age seven in a commercial for the Walnut Street Baptist Church website.
She holds a BFA Theatre degree from Stephens College, where she performed alongside Dawn Wells in a production of "Steel Magnolias." Her senior year she was cast off her first professional audition in the horror indie, "Jennifer Help Us," shot in Columbia, Missouri. After graduating, she spent a year back home performing theatre in the community and at the Kentucky Repertory Theatre, then set her sights on Los Angeles where she resides today, most recently having starred in a musical adaptation of "Little Women."
