Hailey Rutledge went to Wake Forest University for undergrad where she wrote and performed for The Lilting Banshees sketch comedy group, while still saying, “I’ll never be so irresponsible as to do this in real life.” After studying at Columbia University she left a career in Publishing to enroll at T. Schreiber Studio in New York City.

Immersing herself in the theater scene there, she had lead roles in A Conversation Before 2016 at the Metropolitan Playhouse for the New York International Fringe Festival, and the world premiere of The Last, Best Small Town, a New Works Initiative Winner. Since moving back to her hometown of Los Angeles, she's collected TV and film credits including The Nurse Who Knew Too Much (Lifetime), Silent Night, Fatal Night (Lifetime), Tall Tales of Jim Bridger (INSP), The Wild West Chronicles (INSP), and The Final Rose (tubi). A former Disney princess, you might find her in your family photos from the Happiest Place on Earth.
