Born and raised in Malibu, California, as a child she enjoyed
performing in front of her family and friends. When she was eight
years old, her mom took her to acting class and Meredith found her
calling. Her first role was a small part as a "singing and dancing
orphan" in the feature film Annie, directed by John Huston. Then
came Meredith's first starring role in the Disney film, The Journey
of Natty Gann, which was the first American movie to win the gold
award at the Moscow Film Festival. This film also garnered Meredith
"Best Actress in a Drama" at the Youth in Film Awards for her
wonderful portrayal of the tomboyish Natty Gann. After starring in
four more films by the time she was eighteen years old, Meredith
left Hollywood for Harvard to further her education. From 1988
until 1992, Salenger attended the university and graduated cum
laude with a degree in Psychology which proved she was not only
beautiful and talented, but extremely intelligent. Upon her return
to Hollywood, Meredith resumed her acting career. Her recent
credits include: Lake Placid, The Third Wheel, and an upcoming
independent film called Grownups. Salenger has appeared in several
independent films including "Quality Time" and "Sparkle & Charm."
