Kelsey Danae Lewis (born May 2, 1995 in Lancaster, California) is an American child actress. She is best known from the music video Family Portrait by P!nk, and the made-for-TV movie Samantha: An American Girl Holiday.

[edit] Career

Lewis was born in Lancaster, California to Kyle and Kathy Lewis. At the age of two, she spontaneously began to recite long dialogues from The Lion King. With the encouragement of her mother, she tried acting at the age of four, and found it to her liking. Her first acting experience on TV was doing an Organ Donors' commercial.

After appearing in several other TV commercials, she finally landed a part in a music video called "Family Portrait", by P!nk, at age seven. Lip-synching the lyrics to the song, she plays a young, tormented Pink, expressing sadness and anger over her warring parents. The next year, she appeared in another video for P!nk, called Trouble, where she played a little girl wearing a yellow dress. Shortly after these P!nk videos started airing, Wendi Green at Abrams called to see if they could represent Kelsey. About a year and a half after switching to Abrams, Kelsey Lewis had her first big break on the big screen by appearing on the movie Samantha: An American Girl Holiday. In this television special, which aired in 2004, she played Nellie O'Malley, a poor Irish girl who works as a servant, as well as in factories.

Kelsey Lewis has also appeared in several commercials for Tropicana Orange Juice, SBC, Cisco, Bush's Baked Beans, Cap'n Crunch, Freihoffers Bread, Disneyland Planner, Disneyland, Mervyns, Merrill Lynch, and Toys R Us.

In her free time she enjoys hanging out with her friends, riding her motorcycle, doing artwork and going to school.
