| Monica Keena was born in New Jersey on May 25th, 1979 and was raised in Brooklyn. She's about 5'1 and has an older sister named Samantha. Her mother, Mary is a nurse and her father, Bill, is a financial sales manager. As a child, she was always drawing, painting, dancing and signing. Monica auditioned for acceptance into LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts at the age of thirteen. Although she chose the drama department as her preference, Monica was accepted in both the dramatic and the vocal arts departments. Soon after starting her classes at LaGuardia Monica played in her first role in a short film entitled "Burning Love,". She also went on to portray the character Bertha in a stage reading of Strinburg's "The Father," with Al Pacino. Some more recent movie credits include and "The First Daughter", "Devil's Advocate," (in which she had a very small role) "While You Were Sleeping," "Ripe" and a starring role in a twisted version of the Grimms 'Fairy Tale' "Snow White," opposite Sigourney Weaver, one of my favorite movies of Monica's was "Strike" with Kirsten Dunst and Gaby Hoffman. She has also been working on three new films "Crime and Punishment in Suburbia" with Ellen Barkin and Vincent Kartheiser, "The Simian Line" with Harry Connick Jr. and Lynn Redgrave, and "A Fate Totally Worse Than Death" with Julie Benz, and Jonathan Brandis, whom she is currently seeing. Before taking a break for new movies and tv, Monica attended New York University. When she has a bit of extra time on her hands she likes to take writing classes and likes yoga. Monica enjoys reading. One of her favorite authors is William Faulkner. She also likes the books the Bloody Chamger by Angela Carter, and Metamorphisis by Franz Kafka. She likes hanging out with friends and says: "I don't do anything physical. I'm lazy." Some other things Monica has said to have liked are Bob Dylan, the Police, and Tori Amos (a personal Fav !) The Movie, the Wizard of Oz, especially Judy Garland, of whom she says: "Judy Garland is my favourite. I probably know all her songs and have seen all her movies." Her favorite T.V Shows include The Simpsons and Charmed. |
