Life and career

Abbie Cobb was born in Papillion, Nebraska. [1] She became interested in acting after watching a Shirley Temple movie marathon in the third grade. She built her acting experience in high school before attending and graduating from Cedarville University. She moved to Los Angeles to book a number of stage productions. While in Los Angeles, she starred in local productions of Othello , Spring Awakening and The Toxic Avenger .

In 2009, she received her first screen role as A.J. in the 2010 Disney Channel original film Starstruck . She also had small role in the 2009 film The Missing Person . Her other acting credits include The Mentalist , Jonas , Medium , CSI: Miami , Pair of Kings , Imagination Movers , Big Time Rush , American Horror Story and the Disney Channel original film Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas! (2011).

From 2011 to 2013, she had a recurring role as Emily Bradford on The CW series 90210 . She almost did not land the role, because of her close resemblance to fellow 90210 actress Jennie Garth. Her hair was dyed a dark color so she would be less like Garth. [2]

In 2011, Cobb wrote her first book entitled Stuck on a Ferris Wheel, a guide book to assist up-and-coming actors. [3]

From 2012 to 2014, Cobb had a recurring role as Kimantha on the ABC sitcom Suburgatory .

After years of being told how much she looks like Jennie Garth, particularly during Garth's time on Beverly Hills, 90210 , it was announced in July 2015 that Cobb was cast to play Garth in the Lifetime television film The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story . It premiered on October 3, 2015. [4]

Cobb is the co-owner of The AFA Studio in Toluca Lake, California. [5]
