In her own, third-person words:

Raised in the Susquehanna Valley in Pennsylvania, Blythe Hart had a childhood filled with creativity. When not found wandering about in her grandmother's clothes (often ones that sparkled a bit), she was constantly trying to cajole (boss) her friends into performing generally terrible playlets for their families. Occasionally, she was successful, too! She discovered a love for performance when she picked up the Saxophone in the fourth grade - and moved from there to keyboard, recorder, and a few other instruments she can identify but only hopes to one day actually do more than make a bit of ill noise on.

As a girl, she moved from music to plays - though her heart was always in acting, she found an interest in backstage work, too. Her first gig at a theatre was running a 100-channel lighting board for a 90 minute play with 164 cues - she's still very proud that she managed it at 13. As her interest increased, she decided to capitalize on the dream she'd had since childhood - one day, she'd move to Hollywood and act for real. Pursuing every opportunity open to her – at the two community theatres in her hometown, school plays, and all the books she could get her hands on – she educated herself as much as possible until she graduated from high school and moved to college.

At Penn State, Blythe studied with a talented, dedicated faculty (and misses most of them terribly). With them, she learned Lessac vocal method, Lecoq and Alexander movement techniques, Meisner acting technique, as well as a bit of stage combat, some fencing, both neutral and character mask, accents, and (surprise!) directing. She worked with No Refund Theatre for five years (it took a bit longer than expected to complete her Anthropology minor!); with NRT she acted (award winner for her role in "The Baltimore Waltz"), directed (which included set, makeup, costume, lights, and sound - it was a student group), and managed to translate her interest in backstage work into a several semester run as the club's Technical Director. From them she also found the school's film program, which afforded her several opportunities to act on camera, as well.

Blythe loves to brag about her credits (which actor doesn't?). She made her feature film debut in Rod Bingamin's "Chasing Butterflies", which can be found on her IMDB page. Also there are "Hard to Get", which first got her notice on campus and has received glowing reviews at festivals across the country, and the claymation short "The Ghost of Sam Peckinpah", which has consistently won top awards at festivals where it has played, including the Garden State Film Fest and the Gem City Film Festival.

Blythe has recently moved from her home in Happy Valley to the San Fernando Valley, where she's living the dream of barely scraping by and hitting the pavement for auditions. Feel free to contact her; she's always up for new adventures, friends, foes, guidance, advice or work :-D
