Laura Ashley Bell Bundy is currently starring in
Legally Blonde: The Musical on Broadway as "Elle Woods". Most
recently she played Sherrie Christian in the musical "Rock of Ages".
However, Miss Bundy is no stranger to the stage, having starred in
both Hairspray (Tony Award-winning Musical) and Wicked. In
Hairspray, she originated the role of Amber Von Tussle, and in
Wicked, she was a standby for the role of Glinda The Good Witch. From the
age of nine, Laura Bell has been performing. As a child,
Off-Broadway, she originated the role of Tina Denmark in Ruthless,
The Musical!, earning her both Outer Critics Circle & Drama Desk
award Nominations for an Outstanding Actress in a Musical.
Regionally, Laura played Dainty June in Gypsy, starring Betty
Buckley and Deborah Gibson, and toured with yet another star, Marie
Osmond, in the Sound of Music.
Though Laura's theatre credits are abundant, she also has a
wealth of television and film experience. On the big screen, Miss
Bundy appeared in the hit film, Dreamgirls, as well as Jumanji, Life
With Mikey, and The Adventures of Huck Finn. She has made guest
appearances on television programs including Happy Hour for FOX,
Modern from the WB, Cold Case for CBS, Veronica Mars for UPN, and
Strangers with Candy for Comedy Central. Pilots in which Laura has
had leading roles in include Dirtbags for FOX and All Grown Up for
CBS. One of her biggest television achievements was playing the role
of Marah Lewis on the soap opera, The Guiding Light from 1999-2001.
Miss Bundy is a talented recording artist with her own original
sound. Her first release, entitled "I'll Be Home For Christmas",
benefited her own charity as well as the Bluegrass Area Jass
Association (BAJA). Her latest album, is in a genre all its own, "Y'alternative".
"Longing for a Place Already Gone" not only includes Laura Bell's
favorite tunes, but her own unique songs as well. The album has just
recently been released.
Becoming an accomplished performer, actress, and singer is an
extraordinary feat in itself, but Laura Bell's talents do not end
there. As a small girl, she designed hair ribbons, which were only
the beginner of her career as a designer. Currently she is the
co-designer and founder of a brand new line, Schmancy Purses. Some
of the bags are even being used in Legally Blonde: The Musical! Not
impressive enough? Check out Laura's charity, Kreative Kids
Foundation!
Laura Bell's career is only beginning and her star is rising to
the top quickly, but like any "overnight sensation", it took hard
work and perseverance to get where she is today.
