Yvette De Vito

Yvette De Vito is an American actress. Born in San Francisco, CA, she is a proud Northern California native, and was raised in an Italian-American home. Energetic and passionate from a very young age, she began performing at age 5 in various dance recitals and children's theatre. Yvette comes from an extremely athletic background: by the age of 12 she was competing nationally with San Jose's Acrobatic Gymnastics team, ATA. Grades 7-12 consisted of school in the day time with evenings and weekends reserved for rigorous gymnastics practices and competitions. She was extremely dedicated, and won many regional and national championships, most notably becoming a member of the prestigious USAG Junior Olympic National Team in 2008. (The discipline, drive and work ethic in her acting today surely stemmed from the pressures of this environment.) She then went on to attend San Jose State University's Theatre Arts program, which she earned her BA from while also minoring in RTVF (Radio-Television-Film.) During her 3rd year at SJSU, she completed a highly-regarded 6 month international exchange program, focusing on film, at Universitá Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, Italy. She is a stage-trained actress with an immense love for the theatre. While attending SJSU she appeared in many Bay Area theatre productions, including Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing", Theresa Rebeck's "Loose Knit", and Moisés Kaufman's "The Laramie Project". After completion of her BA program Yvette moved to Los Angeles, where she currently resides. Continuing her success on stage, she has performed critically-acclaimed works from August Wilson to Tennessee Williams to John Patrick Shanley. Some of her most memorable Los Angeles stage roles include the disturbed "Jill" from Joyce Carol Oates's gritty drama 'I Stand Before You Naked" and as the bawdy Margaret in Shakespeare's most famous comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" (Jamaica Moon Productions) which received a Valley Theatre Award in 2018. She also starred in the West Coast Premiere of Renée Taylor & Joe Bologna's hit comedy Love Allways, directed by Gloria Gifford. Yvette joined the Screen Actors Guild in the spring of 2015 and has been building her film and TV credits ever since.
