Early life

Michaels was born in Great Neck, New York. She attended LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts in New York City. [2] After graduating, on the high school dean's advice, rather than accepting a place at the SUNY Conservatory, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. [3] [4] Between acting jobs, she took literature classes at the University of Southern California, where she majored in English. [3] [5]

Michaels remembers herself playing at acting characters in costume at the age of three, [2] and acting professionally in commercials from the age of four. [3] [4] One of her earliest childhood television roles was on Saturday Night Live [4] [6] in 1991. [7] She has a family acting connection: her maternal grandparents had acted in vaudeville and stage drama, [4] and her brother Fred works for a film production company and as a writer. [1] [3] [8]

Acting career

Michaels's first part in Los Angeles was the title role in Sister Aimee: The Aimee Semple McPherson Story , (aka Aimee Semple McPherson, 2006). [1] [9] She played the evangelical preacher from the age of 15 into her 40s, which was a challenge for her developing acting skills. She had leading roles in several web series, the vampire movie 30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust (2008), the parody House of Heather, [5] [6] and the MTV Films horror series Savage County. [10] In 2009, Michaels also had notable supporting roles in the big screen horror film Boogeyman 3 , and the NBC television disaster miniseries Meteor: Path to Destruction . [9]
