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
