A thirty-year veteran of the entertainment world, Emily
Webster found her earliest success in front of the camera.
As a child actress she appeared in over 200 commercials
before being cast in the early FOX hit Small Wonder. A five
year run on that series catapulted her career: leading to two
Youth in Film Awards, five nominations, multiple guest
appearances, starring roles in such films as Troop Beverly
Hills and Caddie Woodlawn and the Emmy award winning
series Christy. She also worked on the New York City stage
at such esteemed houses as the WPA and with John Guare
at Lincoln Center.
Retired from the trade at the grand age of 17, Emily decided
to shift her focus to the other side of the camera. After
attending Bennington College in Vermont and the American
Musical Dramatic Academy in NY, she took her first assistant
position at Cunningham, Escott, Dipini and then carried over
to Schiffman, Ekman, Morrison and Mann in New York City.
Upon returning to Los Angeles Emily worked for Abrams
Artists before establishing her own department at Acme
Talent & Literary. Fifteen years later she transitioned her
highly respected division to TalentWorks LA. Her managerial
approach to agenting found her coaching, directing and
guiding her clients to achieve impressive success.
In Los Angeles she has taught for Beverly Hills High School's
Drama Department, The Academy of Arts and Sciences, TVI
Actors Studio, In The Act, and The Actor's Network to name
just a few. She currently teaches at the Performing Arts
Center of Connecticut in Trumbull, Hartford Children's
Theatre in Hartford, and the OddFellows Playhouse in
Middletown. After moving her family to the Connecticut
Shoreline she is happy to now commit her professional
energies toward what she loves the most: educating and
working with actors of all ages.
