Alyvia Alyn Lind

Alyvia Alyn Lind grew up in Los Angeles, and it is no wonder that at eight years old, the little blonde actress impresses any adult four times her age. "I have a lot of fun being an actress, but I also know how serious it is" is the exact attitude that has helped Alyvia land several recurring roles and six films. Alyvia is best known for her portrayal of the living legend, Dolly Parton, in the NBC Universal telefilm, "Coat of Many Colors." Aly was recognized by the prestigious Critics' Choice Awards by being nominated for best actress alongside Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, and Kirsten Dunst, and she was also nominated and won the Movieguide's Grace Award for Best Actress. Not only did the MOW break records with 18.6 million viewers, which made COMC the highest-rated movie or miniseries on the broadcast networks in six years, the film walked away with numerous awards, including The Tex Ritter Award and the coveted Epiphany Prize given by the Movieguide Awards. One of Alyvia's favorite parts of working on the film was singing her solos, and recording "Angel Hill" an original duet with Dolly Parton. Alyvia is also known for the much publicized, campy Lifetime movie, "A Deadly Adoption" where she had the time of her life playing Will Ferrell's and Kristen Wiig's kidnapped daughter. The young actress can be seen in the Warner Bros. film "Blended" alongside Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore and Bella Thorne. Alyvia plays the precocious and sweet 'Lou Friedman,' the youngest daughter of Sandler. Alyvia got her start on the hit ABC series "Revenge" as the five-year-old Amanda Clarke. She can be seen in the television daytime drama "The Young and the Restless" as 'Faith Newman,' as well as the sweet but wisecracking 'Charlotte' on the Nick @ Nite comedy "See Dad Run" with Scott Baio. Alyvia appeared on the big screen in Dimension Film's "Dark Skies" (2013) with Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton. Last year she was seen in Universal Pictures' "Mockingbird," a thriller starring Spencer List and Audrey Marie Anderson ("Arrow" and "The Unit") and the feature film "Shangri-La Suite" opposite Ashley Greene and Emily Browning in which Alyvia portrays Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Currently, Alyvia is juggling two series, recurring on the hit Amazon show "Transparent" as Gracie, and also the critically acclaimed "Masters of Sex" for Showtime, playing Masters' daughter. She also recently wrapped the TNT period pilot "Miami Project" for Michael Bay, squeezed in a guest appearance on the comedy "Teachers" playing Annika, a foreign exchange student (she learned to speak Swedish for the role), and just finished working with some of her favorite Disney actors on "Gamers Guide" playing a trash talking gamer. Alyvia grew up with two older sisters, Natalie and Emily, (both actresses) Show less «
