Bio
Leeanna grew up working the drive-thru at her local McDonald's, in order to get to know the family business. This experience helped her learn about hard work, diligence, and how rude some people can be. When Leeanna wasn't serving fries to customers, she was auditioning. At age eight she was called in to play Bernadette Peters' younger sister in Annie Get Your Gun, but by the time the call back came around she was taller than Bernadette Peters.
Leeanna then decided to put her effort into swimming and was actually home-schooled for a couple of years in high school so she could focus on swimming. She trained with Olympic coach Dick Shoulberg and Charlie Kennedy. Choosing to retire at the tender age of 17 1/2, she then decided to revisit her initial passions, acting and singing, in college. She studied musical theatre at American University in Washington, D.C before pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts in Acting at USC.
Leeanna has worked in some of the best theatre's in the nation, some include: Walnut Street Theatre, Folger Shakespeare Theatre, Milwaukee Rep, Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center. As well as being in the feature film Missing Pieces with Mark Boone Jr. and Melora Walters.
When not doing 16 bars in an audition room, Leeanna runs her own swim business: www.swimwithleeanna.com
