Hi, I'm Renee Montemayor and welcome to my Star File. Here's some info about me and the acting I've done.

  THEATRE: MISS SAIGON at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, as ensemble and first cover Kim (lead role) and second cover Gigi; HEY MR PRODUCER! cast member (video can be bought at all good video stores! Check out the first blonde dancer that enters stage for "The American Dream"!!!); SOUTH PACIFIC as Liat, Rustie Lee's (Bloody Mary) daughter on UK national tour in 1997; Alice in DICK WHITTIGTON at Greenwich theatre, Dec 1999; Princess in ALADDIN at Chatham Theatre, Dec 2000  
RENEE ON BRIONY... Briony is similar to how I used to be when I was younger (serious, hard working, top of the class etc.) however, I are very different now! I am sillier and madder than Briony, with a very light and positive view on everything! I think Briony needs to handle her problems from a different perspective. All in all though, yes, I do like her character and have enjoyed playing her.

FAMILY: My parents are from the Philippines and I have two sisters, Rhoda and Rowena.  Rhoda is a professional dancer, appearing in the touring musical "West Side Story" and Rowena is still at school studying hard for her GCSE's (bless her!) I didn't go to a stage school full time, although I did take up drama for my GCSEs and at college, and I took many courses. I went to Sylvia Young one summer and did a few classes there. My hobbies and interests...hmmm...many! I go through phases and will do totally different and random things depending on how the mood takes me.

My main interests though are; yoga, going to the gym, reading, playing the piano and ice-skating. I was going to trek across the Himalayas this year but a change of plan has occured and it's not possible for me to do that now...shame, I was really looking forward to it. Also I have some decks at home and am a "bedroom DJ", a very bad one at that, but I enjoy it!!

RENEE ON GRANGE HILL I have enjoyed working on "Grange Hill"! I have learned a lot and have met many wonderful people. I will miss the show, especially all the fun and laughter I have shared with my co-stars. I mostly hang out with Emma Willis and Naomi Osei Mensah, who play Vikki and Claire. "Mostly" as Cartman would say (From "South Park"..oops my silly side is showing through ..I think I'd better stop this now before I really embarass myself!  Hence, all my friends comparing me to Phoebe from "Friends")  I hope that I've answered all your questions. Lot of luck and love!


Many thanks to Renee for providing this information
