Born: 1958

California native Alyson Reed started honing her skills as a performer in high school, where she appeared in school plays like +Oliver! Two years after graduating, she made her Broadway debut with a role in the 1978 production of +Dancin', and it would prove to be the first of many. Over the next few decades, Reed would appear in such shows as +Dance a Little Closer, +A Grand Night for Singing, and +Cabaret -- for which she won a Tony. She's also enjoyed a successful film career, appearing in the role of Cassie in the big-screen adaptation of +A Chorus Line, and making appearances in numerous TV shows like L.A. Law, Without a Trace, and Crossing_Jordan. In 2006, she added the High_School_Musical franchise to her resumé, playing Ms. Darbus in the popular tween hit, and reprising the role for 2008's High_School_Musical_3:_Senior_Year.
