In The Mood For California

Today we’ll feel and experience iconic Los Angeles landmarks followed by an interview with incredible Carolyn Hennesy! On television, Emmy Award winning actress Carolyn Hennesy has dazzled as the deliciously vicious Penelope Ellisa on ABCs critically acclaimed series REVENGE. She also joined the cast for the fifth season of the sleek vampires-meet-world saga, TRUE BLOOD, and fast become a fan favorite as Rosalyn, the ageless vamp with a Texas twang. Prior to REVENGE and TRUE BLOOD, Hennesy was best known for her memorable work as Barbara on ABCs COUGAR TOWN and for her Emmy nominated work as Diane Miller on ABCs GENERAL HOSPITAL. Kids across America also know her as the hilariously haughty Mrs. Chesterfield on Disney Channels JESSIE. On the big screen, Hennesy's credits include CLICK starring Adam Sandler, LEGALLY BLONDE 2 with Reese Witherspoon, and TERMINATOR 3 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and she stars in the soon to be released horror film, ST. AGATHA. Most recently, she has starred in TBS online series Business Doing Pleasure, Two Sentence Horror Stories for Time/Warners new streaming channel and on The Bay for Amazon Prime in the role of Karen Blackwell, for which she received her Emmy and a 2016 Indie Series Award. Hennesy received her training at the esteemed American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Her razor sharp comedic timing was honed as a member of The Groundling's Sunday Company and in ACME Theatres main company. Hennesy has appeared in over a hundred stage productions worldwide, most recently and to great acclaim as Maria Callas in Terrence McNally's MASTER CLASS at the Garry Marshall Theatre. Among other accolades, the LA Drama Critics Circle has distinguished her with the Natalie Schafer Award and the LA Stage Alliance has honored her with an Ovation Award. Hennesy's creative endeavors also include a successful career as a writer. She created the wildly popular Pandora (Bloomsbury USA) children's book series as well as penned the New York Times Bestseller The Secret Life of Damian Spinelli (Hyperion). When not on set, Hennesy is privileged to lend her time to a number of causes but she focuses on animal rescue, preservation, conservation and advocacy with her online podcast, Animal Magnetism on www.ubnradio.com. This past January 2nd. Hennesy crossed something off of her relatively short bucket list; she rode on a float (Lucy Pet Foundation) in the Tournament of Roses Parade. Now she simply has to go into space (hard) and fly over Disneyland as Tinkerbell to set of the fireworks (harder) and the bucket list is done. She lives in her native Los Angeles with three dogs and one cat, rescues all, and in what spare time is left, she flies trapeze.
