LESLEY ANN received rave reviews for her acting starring in the production of “CUTTING OPEN WINGS” at the Met Theatre and for Choroegraphing "Rocio, In Spite of It All" a play by writer Oliver Mayer performed at the famous King King Cabaret on Hollywood Boulevard. SHE STARTED HER CAREER AT WXTV Channel 41 as a weather anchor and entertainment journalist. WXTV 41 UNIVISION is the number one rated Spanish television network in the New York tri-state area. She jumped into the tv business as a production assistant, producing promos, assisting in run down preparations, and anything else she could do to learn about television. As a result of her persistence and determination, LESLEY became one of the station's weather anchors at the age of nineteen. Her success as a weather anchor enabled her to be selected as the New York Correspondent for an International Teen Lifestyle show in the making called “CONTROL”. She was selected to co-host, along with internationally famous singer/songwriter Carlos Ponce. Shortly after, Carlos left to promote his singing career and LESLEY became the star of the now internationally acclaimed show called “CONTROL”. The show was being seen in ninety-two (92%) of all Hispanic Homes in the U.S. and in eighteen (18) different countries all televised through Univision and affiliates. LESLEY had become a staple of entertainment in most Hispanic Households and quickly became known as the thrill seeking, mischievous funny girl who would rather hike, parachute, or cave explore, than be just another TV host. But LESLEY ANN had her sights on Hollywood, and within 6 months of moving from Miami she was hosting “LATIN ACCESS” for NBC and Co-hosting “MOVIE BREAK” for the TBS Network. She is currently one of the hosts of THE TV GUIDE NETWORK, now home to the incomparable Joan and Melissa Rivers. She has had the pleasure of interviewing some of the hottest stars working today from Jude Law, Collin Farrell, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts, to most recently one of her idols, Sir Sean Connery. She has become one of the “ones to talk to” on the red carpet. Her interviews are always fun and fresh!
