Lisa Lamendola

LisaMarie Lamendola got the acting bug from an unorthodox source; her computer teacher, who saw Lisa's vivacious and expressive personality and entered her in a public speaking contest, through Future Business Leaders of America, where she took 1st Place in the region and 1st Runner-Up in New York State. She determined that being in front of an audience, rather than behind a computer would lead to further success. After taking her interviewing style to the Miss New York/USA Pageant, LisaMarie walked away with the Most Photogenic Award and 2nd Runner-Up in the Preliminaries, she moved to Houston, Texas, and won the Swimsuit Competition Finals in Miss Texas/USA. She began studying theater with Chris Wilson in Houston, Texas, and began auditioning and working on local and national productions shot there.
