Moira Kelly was born on the 6th March 1968 in Queens, New York. She is an actress. She never wanted to be an actress, her dream was to be a violinist like her father. In 1984, Moira was cast in a small role in Connetquot Senior High School's production of Annie. Due to illness, the young woman playing Miss Hannigan was replaced, causing a series of cast changes. Director Eric Martinsen chose to recast Moira as Grace Farrell. She was a great success, and so began her acting career.
