Kelly Overton (born August 28, 1978 in Wilbraham, Massachusetts) is an American actress. She was born and raised in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, and studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where she graduated with their highest honor, The Charles Jehlinger Award.
While living in New York she performed Off-Broadway, in regional Shakespeare, and on several small roles on TV shows. After a few regional theater jobs and a stint Kelly describes as the "pan-handling runaway lesbian with dreadlocks named Rain" in All My Children, she made the leap to Broadway.
