Meghann Fahy is an American actress and singer, best known for her role as Natalie Goodman in Next to Normal and as Hannah O'Connor on One Life to Live. During the summer of 2008, Fahy attended open calls and was cast as the standby for Jennifer Damiano as Natalie Goodman in Arena Stage's production of Next to Normal in late 2008. She remained with the cast during its transfer to the Booth Theatre on Broadway, which began previews on March 27, 2009.
On July 19, 2010, after Damiano departed the cast to prepare for the Broadway Musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" the day prior, Fahy took over as the principal actor for Natalie along with Marin Mazzie as mother Diana and Jason Danieley as father Dan. MacKenzie Mauzy replaced her as the standby for Natalie. Fahy played the role on Broadway until its closing on January 16, 2011. Fahy first appeared on ABC's One Life to Live in February 2010 as college student Hannah O'Connor. She has described her character in these terms: "stalked an ex-boyfriend; overdosed on painkillers; has a fixation on a coed; witnessed a crime." The role ended in November 2010, with Hannah O'Connor appearing in a total of 81 episodes. Other television credits include Gossip Girl as Devyn and the 2011 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie The Lost Valentine as a young 1940's era mother, Caroline Thomas, with Betty White as Caroline in present day and Jennifer Love Hewitt as a reporter learning of Caroline's story. In 2012 Fahy appeared in Political Animals as ambitious blogger Georgia as well as in Necessary Roughness as Olivia DiFlorio, tutor-turned-girlfriend of the main character's son.
In July 2011, it was announced that Fahy had been cast in "The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown" at Goodspeed Opera House. She reprised her role as the title character when performances began August 4, 2011 and continued through August 28, 2011.
