ACTOR





Sharon Talbot, SAG/AFTRA, Equity, was born into a large, boisterous Colorado family where ideas shimmered in the air like dragonflies.  Most recently, she played Jeane Kirkpatrick in Louis Nevaer’s Reagans’ Athena at the 2016  NY Fringe Festival. She had her first acting class at four at Denver University.  She studied classical ballet throughout childhood and came to New York to dance after graduating from DU, Phi Beta Kappa, with degrees in theatre, psychology and English. She got her Equity card playing the back end of a cow in Gypsy. That fall, she was cast in Don't Drink the Water on Broadway, ultimately understudying, then replacing, Anita Gillette, in the role of “Susan Hollander.”   Happily, the back end of a cow thing never happened again.  Off-Broadway and regional roles include leads in Streetcar, The Elephant Man, Deathtrap, Talley’s Folly, Born Yesterday (Broderick Crawford), Personal Appearance (Ann Miller), Promises, Promises  (Donald O’Connor), A Phoenix Too Frequent, As you like it, Measure for Measure, The Merchant of Venice, and The Importance of Being Earnest.   A stint on One Life to Live got her a whole lotta dough.  Other Film/TV stuff: appearances on The Blacklist, Inside Amy Schumer and Boardwalk Empire.  In April James' film, Contract Removals, she murdered her husband with the help of Carmen, an enormous alligator.  Acting and her 21-year-old son, Rob, are the loves of her life.  An added note; she is not afraid of spiders or airline food.
