Early Life, Family, Educational Background
Leven Alice Rambin was born under the zodiac sign of Taurus on 17 May 1990, in Houston, Texas USA. Leven was raised with her brother Joseph Rambin, and also has older half-siblings, Mary and Jay Rambin, who visited from time to time.
Her parents, Joseph Howard Rambin III and Karen Stacy Guthrie, owned a real estate company, so Leven and her siblings didn’t lack for anything they needed.
Leven and her siblings were raised as Christians, and to date, going to church is one of her favorite things to do.
Leven was drawn to the performing arts at a young age, and as she watched a lot of movies growing up, she couldn’t see herself in any other profession, and performed in school plays and talent shows during her childhood. For her education, Leven attended St. Francis Episcopal Day School in Houston, then attained her high school diploma from Texas Tech University Independent School.
To become a professional actor, Leven trained at the Houston School of Film and Theater, and landed her debut role at the age of 13; she subsequently moved to New York City to pursue her dreams.
Career
Acting Career
Leven’s career in the acting profession started when from 2004 through 2008, she played the role of Lily Montgomery, the autistic child of Jack Montgomery in “All My Children”, originally aired on the ABC Network. Later in 2008, it was announced that she would also play Ava Benton, the lookalike half-sister of Lily.

Directing
Over the years, Leven observed female directors in the entertainment industry, and the way they handled shows.

However, in recent times, a more mature Leven has learned to keep her personal life under wraps. Leven became engaged to American film producer Geoffrey James Clark in late 2009, during a Bahamas vacation.
She was 19 years old at the time. However, they broke off the engagement in September of 2011. She then dated Jason Trawick for a short while in 2013.
She married American actor Jim Parrack, in 2015. They had a small wedding at Le San Michele, in Buda, Texas, but two years later she filed for a divorce from the actor for undisclosed reasons.

While they were together, they co-wrote the song “Dead Bones” (2017), which they performed live on several occasions.
