OUR GUEST: AUTUMN REESER

Acting came into Autumn’s life as a clear calling when she was six years old and her parents took her to see her first play in the small surf town of Carlsbad, California. She begged to audition for the next one, the jumping off point for a lifelong love-affair with art, musical expression and exploration of the human character and psyche. Autumn’s breakout screen role came as the individualist Taylor Townsend on FOX’s hit teen drama, ‘The OC.’ This launched her into a steady stream of strong female leads on shows like Entourage, No Ordinary Family, Last Resort, and many more. Over the next decade, she became a mother to two boys and found a home telling love stories on the Hallmark Channel, for which she has become a much-beloved and in-demand star. In recent years she’s stepped further into her power by executive-producing for the network, as well as co-writing and directing additional projects for stage and screen.
