Marlene Manes
- Actress
Marlene Manes fell in love with acting at an early age. While growing
up she would find nothing more astounding than watching Vivien Leigh
and Elizabeth Taylor movies, which helped ignite the acting flame in
her. Her passion for film, inspired by the magic of affecting people's
hearts in movie theaters, has been the main force that fuels her
journey as an artist. Born in Portland Oregon to Romanian parents,
Marlene is a dual citizen and speaks both English and Romanian with no
accent embodying both the genuine American sentiment as well as an
international spirit. Marlene has had many opportunities to play an
eclectic range of characters, having no qualms transforming from a
romantic lead to a mental patient, or from playing Mrs. Rowland from
Before Breakfast on stage to playing ingénues in period pieces which
suit her perfectly. She is an artist and is also very passionate about
Photography. If she's not working on developing a character you'll
probably find her painting or shooting a beautiful black and white
landscape.
