I was born and raised in Las Vegas, and then I left there to go to the University of Evansville where I majored in theatre.
Rutina WesleyThe reason I trained so hard in school was so that I could be versatile and play any character. With all these in my bag, I'm like a chameleon. I always tell other young actors to go to school, or at least watch movies to learn as much as you can.
Rutina WesleyMy body is a reflection of how grateful I am for my life and my health; there are a lot of people less fortunate than me.
Rutina WesleyI feel incredibly blessed. I'm happy, but all of this movie business, and working as an actress is really hard. When you're not working is when you have to stay positive and remind yourself that you're talented. What's due for you is due for you, and you don't know when that's going to come. That's something I struggled with after I got out of school, wondering how long I was going to have to wait. Then beautiful jobs started coming to me. Now, I feel that my path is going to be what it's going to be, and as long as I relax and breathe, I can enjoy it.
