Name: Holly Fields
Holly began her acting career at age 6 in Sacramento, where she understudied Molly Ringwald in "Through the Looking
Glass". Soon after, her family moved to Dallas, Texas where she became a theater
veteran along with her brother. She toured in national theater productions and was in the Broadway cast of "Annie" at
age 11. Soon after, she started doing commercials, modeling and local TV shows. At age 13,
Holly went to Los Angeles for one month to see what would happen. A week after the move,
she was cast in the CBS pilot "Fort Figueroa" starring opposite Charles Haid. Her family decided to let her
give it a try and moved to Los Angeles.
Weeks after, Holly was seen by Christopher
Guest and given a part in his film The
Big Picture (1989). She quickly began landing leading roles acting opposite such as Michael J. Fox, Christopher Walken, Jennifer Aniston and Burt Reynolds, and being hired by Madonna, Garry Shandling and Chris Carter, among others.
Her parents, wanting her to have a normal childhood, moved the family to San Francisco.
Soon after, Holly's older brother was asked to join the UCLA medical team and her older
sister was accepted into an L.A. design school. So, once again the Fields family moved
back to Los Angeles. Holly has an all-girl group named "Zoom signed" to Avex
Tracks Records in Japan and produced by Joey
Carbone whom she met while filming "It's
Garry Shandling's Show." (1986). Holly is working on producing her own projects
and, when she isn't filming, she's writing and singing on her own and other artists'
albums.
