MySpace BackgroundsLauretta Vaughn has skyrocketed in popularity with American audiences through her breakout role as Kit Fowler on the daytime drama As the World Turns. A British-born performer known as much for her as her acting prowess, VAUGHN landed the ATWT role by wowing producers before she even technically auditioned for the show.Vaughn first arrived onto the American acting scene via the reality show Inturn, in which actors vie for a part on the venerable CBS daytime drama. Though Vaughn made it only to the final four, network executives saw the actress’s unique stage presence and impressive range and hired her immediately to play a two-week stint as Kit Fowler. Within two weeks, audiences had bonded with Vaughn, and Fowler became a permanent, recurring character.This is not the first first American work Vaughn has done -- she has hosted the indie-savvy, Internet music show Rawdio, and has performed as part of New York’s FringeNYC Festival. However, before her work stateside, Vaughn was best known for her challenging acting choices in Britain.Born Lauretta Nkwocha, in LONDON, ENGLAND, Vaughn grew up loving drama. As a young girl, Vaughn would lose herself in the American prime time soap operas she saw on television, intrigued by the glamour and the sweeping plots of Dallas and Dynasty. Before long, she was acting out the roles for her younger sister, complete with a Yankee accent. Although she always knew she wanted to be a performer, the teenage Vaughn studied three-dimensional design, thinking she might eventually create jewelry, before the pull of acting finally won once and for all. After getting into the Central School of Speech and Drama -- ONE of London’s top drama academies -- Vaughn honed her craft for three years before quickly racking up a string of impressive theater credits: a West End production of “125th Street,†a regional performance of “Little Shop of Horrors,†and national touring productions for “To Kill a Mockingbird†and “Macbeth.â€Vaughn also brought her talents to film and television. Her credits there include the BBC shows Storymakers, Holby City, Doctors and Big Kids, and the films Ed Stone is Dead and One Sunday Morning.Vaughn also continues to nurture her love of singing. She has recorded with respected artists including Seal, Sonique, David Morales and Trevor Horn. Vaughn is also booked solid for singing gigs with Hank Lane Music, playing for private parties and elite celebrity gatherings.The multitalented Vaughn counts a wide range of performers among her influences, including Meryl Streep, Chaka Khan, Diahann Carroll, Richard Burton, Sidney Poitier, Sir Ian McKellan, Patti LaBelle and Eamon Walker. She lives in New York.Mwah!!
