She started receiving acting lessons around 4 & singing lessons around 12. She enrolled at a performing arts high school, aspiring for a professional career as an actor & singer. She has cited American actress & singer Judy Garland as an inspiration for her career choice.
She started out as a theatrical actress, making her Broadway debut in 1983.

In 1989, Walt Disney Animation Studios started production of Beauty and the Beast (1991). She learned about the upcoming film production from a newspaper article & applied for a voice role. She competed against 500 other applicants & was chosen for the lead role of Belle. The design team of the film had modeled Belle's appearance on Judy Garland so the casting crew wanted an actress & singer whose tone was reminiscent of her. She was thought to offer a decent artistic impression of Garland's style & had considerable experience in stage musicals, making her ideal for the role. After its release in 1991, she gained worldwide fame for voice acting.
In 1993, she joined the cast of the animated TV series The Legend of Prince Valiant (1991). She voiced Princess Aleta of the Misty Isles, a warrior woman who serves as a love interest for Valiant.

She voiced Belle again in the direct-to-video film Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997) & the direct-to-video anthology film Belle's Magical World (1998). In 1999, Disney released the compilation film Belle's Tales of Friendship (1999), which had a live-action Belle presenting animated tales. The live-action Belle was played by Lynsey McLeod but she voiced Belle for an animated segment featuring a brand new story. In 2000, she voiced Belle in the video games Disney's Beauty and the Beast: Magical Ballroom (2000), Kingdom Hearts II (2005) & Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ (2007).
In 2007, she played the soap opera character Angela in a story-w/in-a-story featured in the film Enchanted (2007).
In 2011, she received a Disney Legend Award, honoring her for her contributions to Disney productions over the past 20 years. That same year, she stepped down from her role as the official voice of Belle. Her voice had changed considerably over 2 decades, so she could no longer match her original voice. It was announced that she would continue to work as a painter for Disney Fine Art & make promotional appearances for Disney. In 2018, she reprised the role of Belle in Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018).
She has now mostly retired from acting though she continues to enjoy fame through voice acting in popular productions.- Actor

Meredith Zealy, who captured our hearts in the film The Notebook, has come a long way from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Perhaps it was the rags-to-riches-to-rags childhood that gave Meredith the ability to shine in both half hour comedies as well as emotionally charged dramas. Raised in Plantation, Florida, by her mother Madeleine, a former real estate agent, and her father, Michael, a lawyer, Meredith had a crazy childhood watching over her three brothers. After studying in London and working her way through college at New World School of the Arts, Meredith packed her bags and headed for Los Angeles only ten days after graduation. She worked as a personal assistant for numerous families including Kate and Steven Spielberg while furthering her career in film and television. Her first break came in the film Good Advice only months after arriving in LA when an actress failed to appear on set. Director Steve Rash pulled Meredith aside and asked how fast the young actress could memorize her lines. The rest is history. After several guest star roles including "Three Sisters" and "Crossing Jordan", Meredith spread her comedic wings opposite David Spade when she guest starred last season on "Just Shoot Me". In addition to filming, Meredith loves surfing, rock climbing, martial arts, stunt driving and everything else that scares her - talents that landed her the role as Britney Murphy's right hand woman in the film Little Black Book. She also volunteers weekly as a hot line counselor at the Suicide Prevention Center in Los Angeles.- Actor

LaMont Cain, a native of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is one of Hollywood's best and brightest new motion picture producers. Before moving towards a career in film production he was a highly rated football player in the state of Florida, playing successfully as a quarterback for Ft. Lauderdale's Dillard High School. He led his team to several State Championships, which made him one of the most sought after top prep quarterbacks in the nation amongst the likes of former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning. He later accepted a scholarship to play football for the 2002 National Champions, the University of Miami Hurricanes, playing with the likes of Warren Sapp, Edgerrin James, Ray Lewis and fellow Industry-mate Dwayne Johnson, where he also studied motion picture, theatre and sociology.
After leaving the University of Miami, Mr. Cain would go on to workout for several NFL teams but after playing the NFL shuffle for a couple of seasons his desire to make feature films was much stronger than his desire to play football. After making the decision to leave his professional football dream behind, Mr. Cain began working as a sports recruiter for Impact Sports, a reputable sports agency, owned by sports agent and fellow actor Duane Martin. This job allowed him to travel to many parts of the country, including Los Angeles, CA. A short time later, Mr. Cain followed his true passion...filmmaking. In (1999) he began his career in the entertainment industry as an actor, and after working on several films he developed strong relationships with notable actors, producers, directors and other filmmakers in Miami and Los Angeles. It was through these contacts and the networking process that he discovered his gift for assembling the right talent together and producing films. After moving to Los Angeles, LaMont quickly found his way around the Hollywood scene, and soon formed deeper friendships with stars such as Duane Martin, Tisha Campbell, Hilary Duff, Cory Hardrict, Academy-Award Winner Jamie Foxx, Gabrielle Union, Shaquille O'Neal, Director Brett Ratner, former teammate "The Rock" aka Dwayne Johnson and Will Smith.
During his first year in Los Angeles, Mr. Cain joined Oprah Winfrey's former Oxygen Network and held a position as talent coordinator for a popular talk show, and was quickly promoted to the position of Associate Producer at Warner Brothers on the show Moral Court (2000). It was during this time that he constructed, and was Executive Producer of, the film All About the Benjamins (2002), starring Mike Epps, Ice Cube and Eva Mendes. Upon the completion of this film he decided it was time to follow his true dream of making mainstream features so he established his film production company World Premiere Pictures, Inc. and obtained a two picture/first look deal. During this time frame Mr. Cain studied and learned the high's and the low's of the film "business". Armed with invaluable knowledge of the business side of the industry and financing from Asia, Mr. Cain formed his dream company Hierarchy Pictures. Hierarchy, is a strong up and coming mini-major studio comparable to Legendary, Dreamworks, Lionsgate and Imagine. Along with forming Hierarchy Pictures and serving as Chairman and CEO, Mr. Cain is also the Founder of Reel Scenes, Inc., a talent based production company for actors and it's subsidiary RSVP a commercial and video production company.
