Belle McDonald

(1976) Belle was only nine years old when a friend said to her, "Never stop acting, whatever else you do, never stop acting!" Luckily she never has. Growing up in Chicago there were church plays first, then Goodman Theatre School, DePaul University, Feagin in New York City and Bishop Lee in Boston.

She has appeared in movies, one of which is The Cary Treatment which was filmed in Boston.
