Biography

Kaye Evelyn McKlaine was born in the small town of Wharton, Texas. She grew up spending time outdoors on her grandparents pasture which has led her to become extremely environmentally active in her adult life.

She headed to Alabama for college, where she graduated from Auburn University. Here, she learned the true meaning of school spirit, college football and tailgating. Saturdays in the fall still remain her favorite time of year.

Although she has always had great love for movies, Kaye did not fall in love with acting until her last quarter at Auburn; when, in order to graduate, she needed a fine arts credit. Forced to choose between History of Art at 8am and Acting at 2pm (neither of which she was overly excited about), she did what any right-minded college kid would do....she slept in. Never in her wildest dreams did she image that this would drastically change the course of her life.

After graduating with a degree in business, Kaye went on to work in the corporate world. Finally, deciding that she could no longer ignore her dreams, she quit her job, took all her suits to goodwill and headed out to LA with $400 in her pocket. Understanding the importance of learning and growing in her craft, she immediately found a home with Sean Barnes at Playhouse West.

Kaye works closely with Tim Cogshell and Asif Ahmed in developing a wide variety of projects. She has plans to open her own production company in 2011.
