Renee Olstead was born on June 18 to Rebecca Lynn Jeffries and Christopher Eric Olstead,
Renee developed a great love for music at an early age and honed her voice by singing
along with the radio. Before long she was entering talent contests and appearing in
local musical productions. Her aspirations for stardom were documented on video and
became the subject of two E! television documentaries,
“The Making of a Child Star” and “The Journey Continues”.

In 1995, Renee appeared in her first commercial, the award winning ad for Levi Jeans.

In 1998 she did a Segento Cheese commercial.

She made her first foray in TV in 1995 in “Streets Of Laredo”.

In 1998, Renee appeared in the episode “Doodlebug” in “Touch By An Angel”.

In 1999, she was seen in two shows, “Chicken Soup For The Soul” and “Providence”.

In 1999, Renee’s first major motion picture roles were “The Insider”,
starring Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, and “End Of Days” with
Arnold Schwarzenegger. And, in 2000, she appeared in “Space Cowboys”.

In 2002, she had her first major role in the CBS comedy “Still Standing”, a four year run.

But, by 2002, Renee’s second career, her singing career, began to take shape.
After she saw the movie “Pleasantville”, she fell in love with Etta James’s “At Last”,
which began a love affair with the music of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald,
Anita O’Day and the Great American Songbook.
Then Renee was able to perform with Eddie Reed’s Swing Band playing LA area clubs.
