Lynne Alana Delaney, a Southern California native whose looks are a
definite throwback to her 100% Irish heritage, is the fifth child in a
long line of Delaney overachievers who came out west from Chicago. She
attributes her strong goal oriented yet creative characteristics to
both her father, who was a Time/Motivation Manager in the garment
industry, and her mother, who started out in fashion design before
becoming a homemaker. When her dream to attend Pasadena Playhouse after
high school was thwarted by the closure of their theatrical school, she
went the more traditional route for her B.A. by first attending Santa
Monica College and then UCLA. After being diverted by a law degree
which led to an Immigration practice as well as a wonderful career
circling the globe as a Flight Attendant, she decided to take a more
direct route and follow her heart back to her first passion of acting.
She speaks fluent Spanish, courtesy of her Argentine-born husband,
Ruben Roberto Gomez, also an actor, and can proudly say "please",
"thank-you" and "Can I get you something to drink?" in 27 different
languages thanks to her travels. Her idea of relaxing is creating
something, whether it be painting a new abstract in her studio, writing
a new script or adding her own gourmet flair to a new recipe. Although
her personal 'backstory' includes stints in background acting and
continuing study at the Conservatory and with coaches the likes of
Brian Reise and Mark Teschner, she feels she is truly arriving at her
final destination with her work on both stage and screen.
