Biography: "Michelle Clunie was born in Portland, Oregon. As a child, she took up dancing and playing the violin, went on to win several competitions in both, a scholarship to The Academy of Professional Ballet, and spent the last year of high school receiving class credit for work she did with The Keith Martin ballet company.
After high school she decided to move to Los Angeles. There she landed a Crest Toothpaste commercial for MTV, produced the play Comedy of Eros, for which her one act was entitled, Confessions Of A Raging Male Heterosexual. Playing an insane Greenwich Village woman that takes out her aggressions on men role earned her the Los Angeles Dramalougue award for Best Actress.
Michelle has worked regularly in television and film, and was a series regular on The Jeff Foxworthy Show for CBS, as the Cajun-Italian spitfire 'Dee-Dee Landreaux'. She was looking for something challenging and revolutionary to work on when her agent sent her the script that would change her career. The Boston Globe reviewed her Performance on Queer as Folk: 'Michelle Clunie is irresistible as 'Melanie'. Her rage is wonderful to behold, it's what Queer as Folk at it's best can be, honest and unashamed.' She toured briefly with the critically acclaimed Vagina Monologues, raising money to stop violence against women.
Currently, she is developing two projects with her business partner, is in the midst of writing her second script, and looks forward to two more years on Queer as Folk." - Official Michelle Clunie Site
