The International Meredith Salenger Website

Meredith Salenger was born on March 14th, 1970. She
was raised in Malibu, California, USA. It was at the very
young age of eight that Meredith showed an interest
in acting. Her first professional acting role was in the
John Huston film "Annie" as a 'singing & dancing
orphan.
The first major starring role came in 1985 in the
Disney motion picture "The Journey Of Natty Gann".
Her strong portrayal of a young tomboyish girl
searching for her father in the 1930's garnered
Meredith a 'Best Actress in a Drama' at the Young
Artist Awards in 1986. The film also became the first
American motion picture to win the gold award at the
Moscow Film Festival.
Impressed by Meredith's incredible acting ability, Walt
Disney Studios signed Meredith to a 2 year contract -
something which had not been done since Hollywood's
early days at MGM.
By the time Meredith was 18 years old she had
already starred in four more films including "Dream A
Little Dream" and "A Night in the Life of Jimmy
Reardon", a film which co-starred the late River
Phoenix and garnered another best acting nomination
at the Young Artist Awards in 1989.
From 1988 to 1992 Meredith attended Harvard
University where she graduated cum laude with a
degree in Psychology. Meredith returned to Hollywood
and resumed her acting career appearing in several
independent films and television shows. A list of all her
acting performances are featured on this website.
In 2005 Meredith also recorded a song called "Flow
Through Me" (several mixes are available on itunes
for download plus cover artwork is also available on
this site).
Meredith truly is both beautiful & talented. Here's
looking forward to many more years of her wonderful
presence in film and television.
