Biography of Lindsay Mary Bartilson

Lindsay Mary Bartilson is an American actress of theater, film, and television, as well as a dancer and choreographer. Born on July 1, 1983 in Edina, Minnesota, Lindsay moved to Los Angeles with her family when she was four years old. She began dancing at a very young age, and at the age of seven, Lindsay won her first talent competition with a solo dance performance.

During a summer theater school, Lindsay discovered her love for comedy when she was cast as the Wicked Witch in a children's production of "The Wizard of Oz." Despite being the youngest child in the drama studio, Lindsay's talent and authenticity in her performance made Dorothy, the main character, tremble with fear and the audience laugh uproariously.

By the age of nine, Lindsay became a professional actress and appeared in several television series and shows, particularly on the children's channel Nickelodeon. Her television debut was in 1995 when she portrayed Megan in the sitcom "Married with Children." Simultaneously, she also performed in professional musical theater, participating in various productions throughout Los Angeles. She played the role of Annie in three different productions, portrayed the spirited Ramona Quimby in an adaptation of Beverly Cleary's books, and achieved great success as Effie Lou in the world premiere of the play "Amelia Bedelia" based on Peggy Parish's children's books. Lindsay even received the Drama-Logue Award for her portrayal of the young Maxine in Glenn Hergenhahn's play "Situation Tragedy."

In addition to her acting career, Lindsay continued to dance professionally and appeared twice in the Joffrey Ballet's annual production of "The Nutcracker." Her versatile experience in musical theater, along with her hard work, proved to be valuable when CBS began searching for a young actress who could act, sing, and dance to play alongside the legendary Angela Lansbury in the television musical comedy "Mrs. Santa Claus" in 1996. Lindsay was chosen from over 500 girls who auditioned for the role.

Outside of her acting endeavors, Lindsay has a passion for helping others achieve their goals. She serves as a director and choreographer at the Celebrity Centre's Kids on Stage creative center for the charitable organization Better World, where she works with fifty children to create concerts benefiting the underprivileged. Under Lindsay Bartilson's guidance, this children's group received the Young Artists Awards Michael J. Landon Community Service Award for their contributions to society. Moreover, Lindsay currently fulfills the role of an international representative for the Youth for Human Rights movement.
