Dawn Davis

Born & raised in New Jersey. What you see is what you get - and I expect that will do just fine. 

 

I prize authenticity in all forms and like to think mine comes through in roles like the no-nonsense waitress closing for the night in Advance Payment (Winner of the Best Short Film Award at the 2011 Daytona Beach Film Festival and available on Amazon Video), the fragile mother of a murder victim on America’s Most Wanted, and the trustworthy voice for Chevy Malibu & Isaac Mizrahi sales campaigns.

​

I was honored to receive the 2017-18 Desert Theatre League Star Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for my performance as the harsh and doubtful Luella Bennett in 'The Diviners' at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center. Luella allowed me to channel my inner Margo Martindale.

​

I created, hosted, and produced the 'Desert Lady Diaries' podcast, a 30-minute conversation with women living in the Mojave Desert and co-founded the inaugural Hi-Desert FRINGE Festival.

​

While I may have missed my shot to play a sexy Jersey matriarch on The Sopranos, I'm on the lookout for my next role as a capable, compassionate broad: one who easily cracks wise and is never afraid to cry.
