Happy Birthday: Claudia Lee

claudialee.jpgHappy Birthday actor Claudia Lee

Born: June 20, 1996 in Lafayette, Indiana, USA

When she was 13, Claudia studied acting and filmmaking at the School of Cinema and Performing Arts (now called the School of Creative and Performing Arts) summer camp in Vermont. Where she met Harry Abrams, president of the Abrams Artists Agency. The agency offered to represent Lee, and she and her mother moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 2009, only with the notion of staying for pilot season. After arriving in Hollywood, Lee began taking acting classes and working immediately.

Lee’s first professional acting job was in a national TV commercial for “Comcast”, with Zachary Levi. Next came Lee’s recurring role of “Bridget” on the Disney XD series, Zeke and Luther (2009). More recently, she was cast in the recurring role of “Magnolia Breeland”, the younger sister of “Lemon Breeland” (Jaime King) on the CW series, Hart of Dixie (2011).

Lee is also a country music singer. She recorded her first song, “It Gets Better”, with Max Di Carlo which was inspired by the “It Gets Better” campaign against bullying in schools.
