The Hallmark Channel is much-watch television full of beautiful, fresh faces, and they don't get fresher than that of Tennessee native Rachel Boston. While Tennessee is a far cry from Hollywood, a love of theater sparked Boston's interest in acting. She told Authority Magazine, "My mom took a trip to NYC when I was a little girl and brought back playbills and information about NYU and Julliard, and it sparked something." Her love of acting remained through high school, and she moved to the city to attend New York University after graduation.
While you might have seen the Hallmark leading lady in a few roles in the early 2000s, like the "Andy Dick Show," it wasn't until 2002 that NBC gave her the breakout role of Beth Mason in "American Dreams." Under the advice of a few experts in the business, she took a leap of faith and applied for the role, and in two months, she became the 1960s daughter of the Prior family. Using the raw talent she was born with, "The Last Bridesmaid" actress brought the Philadelphia teen to life by portraying Beth's adventures in college, romance, and marriage.
After her debut as Beth on NBC, Boston had guest appearances on other well-known TV series like "The Closer," "Love, Inc," and "Grey's Anatomy." However, it was her love of the atmosphere, coworkers, and of course, Christmas, that drew her to the Hallmark family.
