Hi, I'm Milly!

I grew up in Macon, GA in a real life haunted house along with two brothers, three sisters and one spectacular cat. I'm a classically trained, award-winning actress who's been in countless theater productions and has appeared in starring and supporting roles on BET, LIFETIME, CW and AMAZON. I graduated from Duke University with a BA in English & Drama and I have an MFA in Creative Writing from California Institute of the Arts.

 

Growing up, I had two southern grandmothers from different worlds that greatly influenced me and the characters I love to play. One grandmother was a high society socialite who taught me perfect posture, excellent manners, and to always keep your shelves brimming with great books. The other was a semi-pro poker player who spent 40 years as a guard in the local prison and and taught me how to pluck a chicken, shoot a rifle and make biscuits from scratch.
