Early life

Larsen was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She attended George School in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

Because her mother handled press relations for the Bucks County Playhouse, Larsen grew up around acting, with interns from the Playhouse as babysitters, "and if they needed a little girl for something I would be in it", she said, "I didn't even question it, ever." [2] She gained additional acting experience at the George School, in public high school, State University of New York at Purchase, and in rural stock companies' summer seasons. [2]
