Annette loves working as an actor-producer. She started acting in
the Midwest at a summer stock theatre founded by her father Bill
when she was nine years of age. An Ohio State Buckeye, she
received a BFA in Music Theatre from The Ohio State University,
then migrated West to pursue her MFA in acting from Cal State
University, Fullerton. While there she was privileged to study with
the amazing Jose Quintero, and Barry Kyle from the RSC. Annette
took a long hiatus from acting, working for Disney and traveling the
world. Recently returning to the business, she has appeared on
“Desperate Housewives”, in the short film “Training Wheels” which
was featured at the International Family Film Festival, and most
recently appeared onstage in Los Angeles with Mariette Hartley in
the world premier of “In the Wings”.
As a producer she has worked with the Classical Theatre Lab, the
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum “Seedlings” New Plays series, and
with Privatsky Film Works. Annette is currently dreaming up new
projects with the artists collective known as "JACK". She has done
voice over work for Walt Disney Imagineering, giving voice to a
number of interactives in worldwide theme parks, for HeadTrips
Audio Tours, and most recently Annette can be heard as the voice
of “Mnemnosyne 99” in the Peabody Award winning radio series
“The DNA Files: Unraveling the Mysteries of Genetics” with John
Hockenberry. The episode “Where Did We Come From? Where
Did We Go?” can be heard online at
