Kate Shea Saumell was born and raised in the middle of Maryland's woods. When she was five years old, her grandfather asked her what she wanted to do with her life. She responded with two things: head to Vegas and “make a living,” or be an actor. While she has nothing but respect for the working women of Vegas, her Pop is much happier that she decided to keep her clothes on and go to college for acting at NYU Tisch.
