- Cheryl Lyone was born in Channelview, Texas. She is the oldest of four children. Due to her mothers illness Cheryl and her siblings ended up in the Texas foster care system. From a very young age Cheryl demonstrated strong artistic abilities. Her vivid imagination was her escape from the extreme alienation she felt growing up. At 9 years old after watching Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis she fell in love with the movies. She knew then in her soul that she wanted to be a part of this expressive medium.
After quite an eventful life she finally made the big leap to Los Angeles in late 2006. Where months later she received a co-starring role as a saucy casting assistant in the feature film Grindin?. Then in 2007 she garnered the ingenue lead in the emotionally intense feature Run! Bitch Run!
Her primary goals in life are to be a working artist, and to advocate for foster children's rights.
