Linara (n.) |Lē•nä•rä|
(don't forget to roll the "r")
1. a name meaning little flower. A Brasilian-American beauty. Speaker of Portuguese, dancer of Samba. A young woman often described as lovely, talented, powerful in her simplicity and heartbreakingly honest in her performance.
2. an accomplished actor with strong artistic roots. Her professional career began on the stages of Chicago's most acclaimed theatre companies including Tony Award Winning Steppenwolf Theatre and Victory Gardens Theatre. Her work in Shoes garnered her a nomination.
3. a naturally versatile and multi-faceted performer whose work has been featured on televisions most loved shows. She has recurred on Emmy Award Winning American Dreams and E.R., and guest starred on myriad shows including Castle, Cold Case, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Ghost Whisperer, to name a few.
4. a captivating presence on screen, her feature film works include Babershop 2, Stranger Than Fiction, and most recently a starring role in the award winning Kings of the Evening opposite Glynn Turman, Lynn Whitfield and supermodel Tyson Beckford. Of her performance in Kings Maya Angelou has said, "Rather than loading her performance with a lot of bru ha ha Linara Washington brings a wonderful simplicity to the stage."
5. a jack-of-all-trades. Never one to shy away from a new experience Linara took on the challenge of being a professional actor after graduating from the illustrious University of Chicago as a pre-med Biology and English major. Artist, dancer, athlete, writer; lover of languages, travel, food, and animals; there is very little Linara won't try. The sky's the limit for this young actor.

Happy Fall, everyone! It's a new season for the Earth and for television. So many new shows on and I am excited to start auditioning. I am pleased to announce that so far this season you all will be able to catch me on episode 5 of Private Practice on ABC (click on the poster for more info and air dates).
Aside from that, I'm working on finding funding for two films that have been written just for me (yay!). They are ready to be made, so drop me a line if you happen to know a good producer. =)
This is destined to be another great year--I can feel it!
Move still.
