Janel Moloney
A classic California blond, Janel Moloney grew up in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills and knew from a young age she wanted to be an actress. The youngest in a tight-knit family of four children, Moloney has a fraternal twin. She studied dance from the age of fem to fifteen but has always said she knew she wanted to be an actress and a serious, professional one at that.

Moloney continued to act throughout high school and applied to go to college at the world-famous Julliard Schoo
