Kristen Aldridge is an American actress. Kristen Elizabeth Aldridge was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. A natural performer, she spent her childhood years making funny faces and trying to get laughs. Taking those experiences to stage, Kristen nabbed her very first acting role playing the lead in the theater production of 'Alice in Wonderland'. Developing her acting skills early on, her comedic performances got big laughs in 'Ducktails and Bobbysox', for which she won her first Drama Award for "Most Talent, Sweetest Smile" at 12 years old. Kristen got a local agent in Minnesota and soon started landing local modeling and commercial gigs. Her spots in cheer leading and prom magazines led to runway shows for Nordstrom and Marshall Fields and print ads for Target Stores. When Kristen was 15, she auditioned for Touchstone Pictures' My Father the Hero (1994) with Gerard Depardieu, Lauren Hutton and Emma Thompson. After many call backs, she came close but didn't get the part.
Destined for Hollywood, Kristen graduated from Mounds View High School in Arden Hills, Minnesota with hopes of pursuing an acting career. While majoring in Broadcast Journalism and a top tennis player at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Kristen made a dash to showcase her modeling and acting talent in the Big Apple. She was discovered in New York by Star Manager / Producer Jaime Monroy. Kristen spent the summer modeling and acting in Europe, booking several International commercials and print ads. After returning home to Minnesota, she decided she was permanently moving to Hollywood. Once again reunited with Star Manager / Producer Jaime Monroy, she is now on the Hollywood beat.
