Kimberly Prendez

Kimberly Prendez was born in Los Angeles on January 25th 1971. She comes from a family of artists. Kimberlys' mother being one of them,she was an Actress before getting married and deciding to stay home and raise her children. Kimmy, as the family called her showed her first signs of wanting to be on stage at the tender age of 3,by getting on the brick platform of the fireplace singing into the handle of a jump rope, demanding the attention of everyone! At Christmas time her and her older brother would put on shows for the family in costume and all. She was always a quiet child, reserved would best describe her, but when it was time to perform all of that went away. Her father would always call her the thinker " Kims in deep thought again" he would say. As a teenager Kimberly started taking acting classes at school and at the local community colleges. She also entered her first beauty pageant at the age of 14, I think her father was reluctant about allowing her to do it but he did, and she came home with the trophy for first place. Kimberly began studying her favorite actresses in old movies that her Father introduced to her, Marilyn Monroe, Vivian Leigh, Ingrid Bergman to name a few. Being the quiet soul she is it allowed her to take it all in and realize this is what she wants to do,be in the movies, and as her famous quote says "I want to affect the audience". Kimberly did not always have such an easy life and has had her share of life's struggles.Like a lot of us, especially those teen years. But while those struggles may have seemed so difficult at the time it has helped her become the giving actress she is today. And that part of her that is still reserved allows her to listen and really hear thus affect the audience. Ms. Prendez has always been involved in the arts, and now her life long love of acting is developing into a very promising career. Just in the last two years she has starred in a dozen films.Most recently Ms.Prendez has been offered the Lead role in a Feature Film that had started out as the 14 min.short "Valerie and Sid".Kimberly is preparing for this challenging role by studying with Dialect/Acting coach Larry Moss along with attending class at the Ivana Chubbuck studios.
