About Me


This is the OFFICIAL fan page for Meredith Salenger. It is RUN by Meredith Salenger.
Born and raised in Malibu, California... When Meredith Salenger was eight years old, she expressed interest in acting. Her first professional role came soon after she began studying acting – she was literally discovered by legendary director John Huston and asked to play a ‘singing and dancing orphan’ in the feature film he was currently directing, “Annie.” Then came Meredith's first starring role in the Disney film, “The Journey of Natty Gann”, the first American film to win the gold award at the Moscow Film Festival. This film also garnered Meredith "Best Actress in a Drama" at the Youth in Film Awards for her wonderful portrayal of the tomboyish 'Natty Gann' opposite actor John Cusack. Astonished at Meredith’s talent, Walt Disney Studios put Meredith under contract to them for 2 years (the first time an actress had been under contract to a studio since the old days at MGM). After starring in four more films by the time she was eighteen years old, (most notably, “A Night in The Life of Jimmy Reardon” opposite River Phoenix for which she was nominated again for Best Actress in Youth in Film and “Dream a Little Dream” with Harry Dean Stanton and Jason Robards) Meredith left Hollywood for Harvard to further her education. From 1988 until 1992, Salenger attended Harvard University and graduated cum laude with a degree in Psychology, which proved she was not only beautiful and talented, but also extremely intelligent. Upon her return to Hollywood, Meredith resumed her acting career. Salenger has appeared in several independent films and has added ‘comedic actress’ to her repertoire after starring in many new sitcom pilots (most notably HUD opposite Steve Carell). **** Currently you can see Meredith Salenger on NBC's new 1 hour Drama called, "LIFE" - Wednesday nights at 10pm following the Bionic Woman. *****
