Monica Murphy is from Reisterstown, Maryland. She is the youngest of seven daughters. Her late father, Daniel, was a civil servant/Catholic deacon. Her mother, Barbara, is a homemaker. Monica started acting when she was 13 after she was inspired by the movie "Beetlejuice". She graduated magna cum laude from Towson University with a degree in Theatre Arts. Monica is a character actor with a penchant for playing off-beat, quirky characters. She made the move to Los Angeles after deciding that she was done with East Coast winters, at least for a little while. Her favorite musician is Bjork, and her favorite writer is Joseph Campbell. Her passions are acting, film, women's rights, and fashion. Her sister, Athena, a musician, is also a Los Angeles resident.
Went to the same university as John Glover.
Is a vegetarian.
Loves to travel, and her favorite traveling companion is her twin sister.
Loves animation and is obsessed with Japanese Anime.
Her favorite musicians are Bjork, Tori Amos, U2, and Rufus Wainwright.
Loves all genres of film but cannot watch horror films or movies about the Mafia. She finds them too traumatizing.
Born in Towson, Maryland, one of twins. Her mother didnt know she was going to have twins, so Monica was a surprise! Her family then had to buy a car big enough to fit nine people. So the familys red Chevy Suburban was called "Monicas red wagon."
Bjork is my idol and heroine. I love her music and everything she stands,for as an artist. I would love to have the same impact as an actor that,she has had as a musician.
