Tessa Allen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tessa Allen (born August 7, 1996 in Manhattan Beach, California) is an American actress who made her motion picture debut in Enough starring as Gracie, young daughter of Jennifer Lopez's character. She played Hannah Hansen on NBC's Providence from 2001 until the show was discontinued in December 2002. She was the third Hannah Hansen and the first non-twin role. She was seen as a guest star on CSI: Miami's 2002-2003 season finale playing the part of a little girl named Emma Kaye who was abducted by a child molester.
In February 2004, Tessa guest starred on TV's General Hospital playing a young girl named Molly Farrell trapped with her young brother in the hotel fire. After this short stint, Tessa impressed the execs and producers of General Hospital so much they asked her to come back to take over the role of Luke and Laura Spencer's daughter Lesley Lu (Lulu) Spencer, a change that required that the character's age be retroactively lowered.
Tessa left General Hospital when Julie Marie Berman took over the role in fall 2005 to play a SORASed Lulu. She is still booking many commercials.
Tessa has three sisters, Madison, Jeanne, and Adeline, all of whom are also actresses.
