Marilyn Ghigliotti

Marilyn berasal dari latar belakang keluarga Puerto Rico di New York, lahir sebagai anak tengah dari Jeronimo dan Luisa Ghigliotti dan dibesarkan di NY, Long Island dan New Jersey bersama saudara-saudaranya, Evelyn dan Leonardo. Tentu saja ada banyak keberanian dan sikap. Warga Jersey New York ini harus belajar bertahan dari banyak pergerakan dan perubahan budaya sekitarnya. Marilyn terlambat memulai dalam hal akting. Saat melewati beberapa tantangan hidup, dia memutuskan untuk belajar akting di Actors Training Institute di Red Bank New Jersey bersama John Eyd, anggota Actors Studio di New York, di mana dia membawa teknik akting yang sama ke New Jersey. Setelah belajar selama kurang lebih 2 tahun, Marilyn kemudian merasa cukup percaya diri untuk mulai mengikuti audisi di sirkuit teater komunitas di Southern New Jersey, tampil di banyak drama klasik. Setelah tampil dalam produksi pertamanya, berdiri di panggung di mana orang-orang benar-benar mendengarkan kata-katanya alih-alih diabaikan seperti yang dirasakan kebanyakan anak tengah, dia terpikat. Dalam salah satu dari banyak drama ini, dia juga bertemu Brian O'Halloran sebelum keduanya mengikuti audisi dan mendapatkan peran mereka dalam film ikonik Kevin Smith, Clerks. Sejak pindah ke LA, Marilyn telah bekerja di salon dan sebagai penata rambut dan penata rias lepas. Dia juga telah bekerja di depan dan di belakang kamera dalam banyak aspek bisnis pembuatan film untuk belajar sebanyak mungkin.

Of course there's a lot of spunk and attitude. This Jersey New Yorican had to learn to survive many moves and changes in surrounding cultures. Marilyn got started late when it comes to acting. While going through some life challenges, she decided to study acting at the Actors Training Institute in Red Bank New Jersey with John Eyd, a member of the Actors Studio in New York, where he brought those same acting techniques to New Jersey. After studying for about 2 years, Marilyn then felt confident enough to start auditioning in the community theater circuit in Southern New Jersey, appearing in many classic plays. After appearing in her first production, standing on that stage where people were actually listening to her words instead of being ignored as most middle children feel, she was hooked. During one of these many plays, is also where she met Brian O'Halloran before the two auditioned and landed their parts in Kevin Smith's iconic film Clerks. Since moving to LA, Marilyn has worked in salons and as a freelance hair and makeup artist. She also has worked both in front and behind the camera in many aspects of the filmmaking business to learn as much as possible.
