‏Alyson Stover‏

Alyson Stover was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, to parents Joy and Dan. Her beautiful mom, from Long Island, was a Powers model in NYC in the 1930's, and also worked for the great publicist Benjamin Sonnenberg. Her father was an auditor with the federal government and a true Virginia gentleman.

Alyson fell in love with the camera at the age of four, appearing regularly on the popular children's TV program "Romper Room". As a child she modeled with her sister, played the piano and violin, sang her heart out in the school chorus, swam competitively, was an accomplished equestrian, and played in the woods. Her grade school stage debut was in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, Trial by Jury.

Attending Florida State University, she majored in Multinational Business Operations, did post-graduate work in International Relations, then took time to sail across the Atlantic Ocean in a 60 ft. sailboat with 8 other people and a dog. With gale force winds 3 days in a row she is very grateful to be alive. Disembarking in Germany, she continued on to Istanbul, Turkey, to work for a manufacturer of nuts and bolts as a marketing research intern. Returning to Florida State and no longer interested in being an operative for the CIA, Alyson decided to indulge the right side of her brain by studying modern dance and ballet. After a short period she was accepted into the School of Dance which was no small feat. But soon realizing it was time to enter the work force, she landed her first job as an aide on Bill Gunter's U.S. Senate campaign. However, she had to unpack her bags for Washington when her candidate lost, as Florida swung Republican and elected Ronald Reagan.

Knowing she'd always wanted to be a film and television actor she began her western migration, stopping in Denver where she took her first acting workshop with visiting teacher Cliff Osmond, then studying at the Bonfils Theatre School and Loretto Heights College. A few years later she pulled out the road map and finally arrived in Hollywood knowing two people. She persevered with acting classes at night while working inside the studios to survive, rubbing elbows with many greats in the industry while working for Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Broadcasting, Fox Sports Net, and Sony Pictures Entertainment. After a workforce reduction, she took her 7th trip to India and spent over a year with her yoga teachers. She also studied Reiki healing, Ayurveda, and volunteered at a facility for mentally-challenged children. She has returned to Los Angeles, and continues fulfilling her dreams of making the world a much more loving and peaceful place.
