Brittany Anne Snow was born on March 9, 1986. Her parents are John and Cinda Snow. At the time, Tampa Florida was their home town. At the age of 3, she posed for a Burdines print advertisement, and this began her career as a model. According to her father, John Snow, “She just took to it like a fish to water.” At the age of 6, her mother started taking Brittany to auditions for commercials taped in Orlando, in which she received several roles. She has lent her voice, and appeared in ads for McDonalds , Nabisco Thin Crisps, Disney, Kmart, and Busch Gardens. To date, Brittany has appeared in a total of 15 commercials. Also during the same time, she has become a talented dancer. She has been a member of Broadway Dance, LA Dance Force, Underground, and The Pizzaz Competitive Dance Group. Brittany has also appeared in many plays. Her regional theater credits include Pirates of Penzance, Annie, The King & South Pacific, as well as a national tour of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. In 1993, around the age of 8, Brittany appeared on two episodes (her first TV appearances, besides commercials) of SeaQuest 2032. The SeaQuest show was cancelled in 1995. Brittany also had a role in “From the Earth to the Moon.” in 1998. In the fall of 1998, her parents hired a New York agent for Brittany. One week later, the agent sent the Snows a “GL” script. This lead to her role on CBS’s Soap Opera, “Guiding Light.” Cinda and John Snow, upon finding out that Brittany was hired to play the role of Susan on Guiding Light, decided immediately to stay in Tampa, even though the Guiding Light crew wanted the Snows to move to New York. “We’re committed to keeping her a real kid.” Said Cinda Snow. Tampa is where Brittany grew up, made friends, went to school, and her parents didn’t want to let her fame interfere with her normal life.
