Allegra Rose Edwards was born in Denver, Colorado USA, on 9 September 1987 – her zodiac sign is Virgo and she holds American nationality. She’s an actress and a model, who’s perhaps known best for her portrayal of Cindy McCabe in the mystery crime series “Briarpatch”, created by Andy Greenwald and which starred Rosario Dawson, Jay R. Ferguson and Edi Gathegi. It follows a senator’s aide who returns home to San Bonifacio in Texas to learn more about her sister who was a police officer, and was killed by a car bomb; it aired in 2019 and 2020.
Early life and education
Allegra was raised in Denver alongside her two siblings Sky and Evangeline (born in 1990 and 1996, respectively), by their mother Jeannie who is a housewife and their father Paul who is the CEO of his own company, Edwards & Creson LLC while he’s also working at Gordon College as senior vice president.
Allegra was a year and a half old when her parents launched her modelling career, as she got to appear in a commercial, and she then grew up dreaming about becoming a famous model. She was attending a local high school when she became interested in acting, and upon matriculating in 2006, Allegra enrolled at the American Conservatory Theatre from which she obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in 2010.
She then chose to further work on her education at Pepperdine University, from which she obtained her Master of Arts degree in theatre and television in 2013.
Roles in movies
Allegra actually launched her acting career in 2009, with her portrayal of Tango Girl in the short comedy “Tutor”, but which failed to attract any attention. She went on to portray supporting characters in several not-so-successful movies, such as the 2010 musical “Life Is Not a Musical: The Musical”, the thriller comedy “My Friend Violet” and the short science fiction comedy “Upstairs”, both in 2016.
The same year also saw her portray the lead character Chasey in the comedy “AdFirm”, written and directed by Jeremy Morris-Burke, and which also starred Vanessa Morris-Burke and Eric T. Miller.
