Mandy Leigh Slater
- Actor
Mandy Leigh Slater, born Mandy Leigh Henrie, was born in Ogden, Utah in
1978. Mandy's parents were divorced by the time she was four and she
moved between them through her adolescence. Mandy found solitude and
happiness in high school with the theater department and improv club.
Participating in high school plays and competing in local and regional
competitions, she found that acting let her not only become and
discover her characters, but she also discovered herself. After
graduating she moved, got married, started a family and divorced some
years later. During this time she lost track of her acting and missed
it terribly. In 2007, Mandy reentered the acting world and did a short
film and many "extra" acting jobs. Mandy filling maybe she needed to
"grow up" and go back to school, left and started at a local
university, then some years later a local cosmetology school for
esthetics. In 2011, Mandy found love and was supported, and influenced
to follow her dreams. Mandy believes that anything is possible with
hard work, determination, and never giving up, especially on your
dreams. "If they can do it, so can we.", Mandy says. With daily living
of what you dream, it is no longer a dream, it is reality.
