Meredith Giangrande
HOMETOWN
Sherman Oaks, California
THE FACTS
Best thing about Sherman Oaks: “I say the convenience factor. It’s really close to all my auditions in Hollywood.”
Profession: Actress/model/bartender
First job: Burger King. “My dad owns a chain of Burger Kings, and he hired me. I hated it! I cried at night—I wanted to work for McDonald’s.”
Favorite movie star: Jude Law
Dirtiest secret: “I don’t do anything too crazy or dirty. Although when I have a few drinks I do a lot of things I regret the next day. I guess that would have to be my dirtiest secret: Take me out and get me drunk…”
THE LOWDOWN
An actress can have no better preparation for a role than life experience. Just ask Meredith. When she needed to kiss a girl for the independent film
Within, all she had to do was think back to an old friend. “She turned out to be bisexual,” Meredith recalls. “Whenever we’d get drunk, she’d totally make out with me. Depending on how drunk I was, I’d go with it.”
Offscreen Meredith enjoys “dancing on the tables and partying all night long” and dislikes underwear (“It restricts you”). “I’m just a lot of fun, if I do say so myself,” Meredith declares. Agreed.
