Ashleigh Murray is a performer and actress. Her work is adored by the inhabitants of America, although she has enough fans in other continents of the world. To the audience, the charming dark-skinned actress was remembered as the actress of the TV series Riverdale.
Childhood and youth Ashleigh Murray
She was born on January 18, 1988. Very little is known about the childhood years of a celebrity. Moreover, she practically does not give information about her parents. Murray carefully guards this part of the biography from the media and fans.
The main hobby of her childhood is music. As a child, she adored the sound of classical pieces. Ashley herself played the piano skillfully. After some time, she was fascinated by music that was far from classical - she fell in love with the sound of hip-hop tracks. But Ashley still did not leave the classics. Another weakness of the girl was jazz.
She studied well at school and pleased her parents with good grades in her diary. Immediately after graduating from high school, Ashley went to New York. In a new place, her dream came true - she entered the conservatory.
Soon she appeared in a theatrical production. The director entrusted the novice actress with the main role. Murray also worked on this production for the reason that the script was based on real events.
This was followed by another work - she took part in the filming of the short film "In Search of Harmony". The directors one after another noted the high professionalism of the aspiring actress. She was promised a good future. After graduating from the conservatory, Ashley decided to stay in New York, because she believed that here she would be able to fully realize her ambitions.
The creative path of Ashleigh Murray
The list of "serious" tapes opens with the tape "Welcome to New York". In this film, the artist received invaluable experience. She filmed on the same set with Sherry Vine.
Over the next 5 years, difficult times have come in the biography of the actress. Ashley did not seem to notice the directors. She was content with short episodic roles. Things were going badly. It got to the point where she couldn't pay the rent.
Ashley didn't give up. Every day she knocked on the thresholds of agencies. The actress hoped that they would notice her and trust the role in the video or at least commercials. But during this period of time, work was extremely “tight”.
In 2014, she returned to the TV screens again, starring in several tapes. Since 2016, she has starred in the series "Young". The fees were small, there was a minimum of work - Ashley stopped believing in her own strength.
Filming in the series "Riverdale"
The actress felt like a failure. She plunged into depression. Ashley makes a difficult decision for herself - she plans to leave New York. She had already packed her bags when she suddenly found out about the casting in the new series Riverdale, launched by Warner Bros. Ashley decided to postpone her trip and try her chance one last time.
“Of course, I did not believe that I could get a role in the series. I auditioned and then went to the store to do some shopping. I had a little over $10 on my card. The next day I had to go home. Right in the store, an assistant called me and said that I was approved for the main role ... ", - said the actress.
In the series, she got the main role. She played Josie McCoy, the leader and founder of the Josie and the Cats collective. The directors chose Ashley for several reasons. First, she arranged them outwardly. And secondly, the actress had a well-trained voice.
Since 2017, she has been involved in the filming of a youth series about teenagers who experience mysterious events in the city of Riverdale. Ashley was entrusted with a rather characteristic role. In the series, she played the daughter of the mayor of the town. The actress perfectly conveyed the mood of the main character. Despite her arrogance and difficult character, her heroine is able to do good deeds.
Riverdale brought the actress not only the long-awaited popularity, but also an unrealistic number of prestigious awards. Ashley has an army of fans. But, the most important thing was waiting for the "fans" ahead. The artist has finally fulfilled her old dream of a singing career. The Josie and the Cats team exists in the real world. Band members have the opportunity to perform on stage, and not just on the other side of the TV screens.
In 2017, the filming of the tape "Deirdre and Lani rob a train" took place, in which, as you might guess, a dark-skinned actress lit up. The film premiered at the Sundance festival. The film left a pleasant impression not only among fans, but also among authoritative music critics.
