ALEXANDRA GREY

Alexandra Grey was the only eighth-grader in her middle school’s production of the musical Once on This Island. Though everyone else in the cast was in sixth grade or below, it didn’t matter. The young actress knew she had found her passion.

Grey’s life has been an uphill journey toward stardom ever since, but it hasn’t always been easy. After the traumatic experience of being disowned by her foster parents and a stint experiencing homelessness, she made a courageous decision to leave the South Side of Chicago and pursue her destiny in Los Angeles. Grey arrived with nothing but $30 and a dream, but she's finally getting the credit she deserves.

In the last few years, Grey has earned critical acclaim on shows like , , , , , and (as Marsha P. Johnson), and HBO Max’s , as legendary trans socialite and chef Lucy Hicks Anderson, have further secured her place as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars on the rise.
