From the musically-rich city of Houston, Texas, hails Rebecca Renee Olstead, born on June 18, 1989. Her parents were both creative minds, and they encouraged their girl to engage in her talents. She would constantly sing along to the radio, and when she bought her first Celine Dion CD, she knew she had found her role model.

It wasn't long before the photogenic redhead discovered that she was also made for the acting world. At only 10 she scored some supporting roles in television series and made-for-TV movies, among them Streets of Laredo (1995), Out There (1997), Touched by an Angel (1998), and Providence (1999).
