Kara Joy Reed was born in Avon Township, Michigan, and was raised in
Auburn Hills, Michigan. She graduated from private school with a 4.0
GPA and went to Oakland University on academic scholarships to earn a
BA degree in Theatre Performance with a minor in Spanish Language.
After college, Kara got her start in film by taking advantage of the
boom in Hollywood films made in Michigan. In "Ides of March", Kara had the privilege
of working in close quarters with George Clooney and Ryan Gosling while
playing a member of Morris' (Clooney's) campaign staff, and can be seen
several times throughout the movie.
Kara lost her mother to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy in August of
2012. She says her mother was her first and biggest fan, and always
knew that she would be a performer because the most often uttered
phrase of her childhood was, "Watch me, Mommy! Watch me!"
As artists, we resist the idea and the process of "growing up", because we all know that it is children who have the most magical imaginations.
Love. Love so fiercely and so deeply that there is no room left in your heart for hatred or anger.
My opinions are somewhat unpopular. My methodology is a bit unorthodox. My ambitions, interests and motives cause skepticism; but I get the job done-with a smile.
