"Roxy Darr- Hollywood’s Rising Star" Where does one begin when raving about this young, multi talented entertainer who has always dreamed big knowing she will make her mark as an influential performer?

We start from the beginning: As a singer, actor, dancer, model, and television personality host, Roxy began her career in the world of theater. As a young girl, 
Roxy’s mother, Rose, always new her daughter had that special spark as an entertainer.

Roxy was very outspoken for her age and had a fiery personality when it came to performing in front of family, other classmates, and even in the grocery store.

"I was only about 4 years old, and anytime there was a line in the grocery store, I would crawl over from the front of the grocery cart to the back and begin to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at the top of my lungs. I would turn any space into my own little stage just so long as I was entertaining others with my talents". After much positive attention from people, Roxy’s mother took her on her first audition.

As a six year old girl, she remembers the first time she was cast in A Christmas Carol, in Northern California. "The room was filled with children, mostly older than myself, and I recall my heart pounding for the announcement that was to reveal who would play the part of Kathy Crachit, Tiny Tim’s main sister. A silence filled the atmosphere as our director read the name..... and the part of Kathy Crachit will be played by the youngest and most energetic girl who did not hold anything back.....Roxy Darr!" And she never did! This upbeat, professional theatrical performance took out much of Roxy’s schedule as a young girl just starting the first grade. Roxy adapted to long night rehearsals, memorization of lines, songs, and dance, in addition to routine homework from school. She never once complained, in fact, it was the feeling she felt at opening night that lead her to believe her passion and commitment to the stage and performing was going to be endless.

Roxy learned at an early age the importance of a schedule and how to use her time wisely. Continuing theater was of great value throughout the years following her first performance that earned her much recognition in the theatrical world. Theaters from all over town that had seen her work or read her reviews began requesting for her appearance in their shows. It was a wonder how such a young child could learn the art of the stage and not hold anything back in front of a massive audience through a continuous run of a show.

The most admirable element to Roxy’s career is the fact that she managed to succeed throughout her years of schooling, not just as an average student, but in the top of her class. In fact, it was her 4.0 GPA that allowed her permission to continuing performing.

As high school rolled around, so did scholarships to elite summer programs for honor students. As a freshman in choir, theater, and dance, Roxy also explored her options as a Junior Statesman of America at Stanford University. Here she spent an entire summer in government, politics, and communication. Following summers included summer stocks for theater, fully paid.

Roxy claims that she would never trade her educational experiences for anything else. She values her education first and foremost... "my education has given me knowledge not just to have, but to explore, inquire, and challenge the amazing world that surrounds my everyday existence". After becoming Miss San Diego's Miss Photogenic, she was discovered by Susan Lane Leonard, James Adams, and Mike Russell to be a beautiful, well-spoken television personality host for Jetsettin the West, the new and exciting television pilot based on the popular magazine in which she also became a contributing writer and spokesmodel. "Jetsettin the West has given me the opportunity to travel and to appreciate places to which I have never been, and to embark on journeys with unique people and characteristics".

Roxy was later cast to be part of the equity-housed Hope Summer Repertory Theater in Holland, Michigan where alumni Tony Award Winners such as Norbert Leo Butz of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Wicked, and Rent entertained. Performing four shows, six days a week, for a four month run, Roxy strengthened essential skills both on and off stage in performance, costume, and set design. Upon her return she managed to raise money through performance for such causes as Battered Woman’s Shelters for which she gave back to the community. Roxy’s growing popularity landed her the lead role in the Theater of the World Festival as Sid Fleishman’s Prince Brat, in Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy. This children’s musical was the biggest hit in the festival and was attended by Newberry Award Author, Sid Fleishman himself, who raved about Roxy as the greatest rendition of Prince Brat he had ever observed.

On the 50th Birthday Anniversary of Walt Disney’s Disneyland, Roxy interviewed before television cameras, the first family of Anaheim parks who originally planned the world famous theme parks.

Currently Roxy is acting, singing, dancing, modeling, and hosting in various projects across Los Angeles. She recently finished a 30 city nationwide tour of Kidz Bop Live! as the lead performer, singing and dancing in venues across the nation including the House of Blues. Current appearances on FoxSportsNet, performing "God Bless America" for the Los Angeles Dodgers 7th Inning Stretch has gained Roxy much recognition. She can be seen honoring our country's anthem at the world famous Staples Center during the NBA Professional Basketball season. Her new, exciting, travel program Jetsettin the West is completing their first season with segments in Palm Springs, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and San Diego. As a spokesmodel for Rodeo Drive’s Bio Ionic, Roxy can be seen modeling at the Fernando Romero Salon, as their cover girl. Roxy was recently honored at The World Championships of Performing Arts where she judged, as a guest celebrity, contestants from around the world in the areas of singing, acting, and modeling.

"somebody once told me that the key to being successful in this industry is to always be performing, regardless of how big or small a particular role happens to be, and since then there isn’t a moment when I’m not exuding my passions, even if it’s spending hours expressing emotions in front of a mirror or randomly changing the radio station and connecting myself emotionally to different types of music!" Roxy also delves into writing, directing, choreographing, and sketch comedy when she creatively takes time to herself.

The "real world" has treated Roxy well thus far, however the fun has yet to come. "I suggest maintaining a steady stream of networking and jobs for some days in the week and then allowing room for relaxation. Appreciate those in your life who allow a positive effect because that is what will keep you inspired to perform. There are many people in the industry who will say that the entertainment business is too hard to get into- but if you think about it, what business doesn’t have it’s level of difficulty?

It is a deep-seated passion and desire to commit to what you love and then, yes, work hard to get there! If sacrifices must be made- then make them! I have to admit that there are some ups and downs pertaining to all aspects of performing... but I always live by the three D’s for Darr- dedication, determination, and drive! 

If and only when you have these three factors locked down, can you come to accept the good and the bad on equal leveled ground. Besides, as actors, if all we ever experience is happiness and acceptance, we could never dig down deep enough for emotions of sadness and rejection. Taking advice from others can also be a blessing. Ultimately, in the end the decision is yours, but listen! Listening to others can help you learn no matter how great of a performer one may be. My mother and father have pushed me to believe that anything is possible, which is why they are the greatest influential figures in my life. They are my best friends and always will be. I am so grateful to be blessed with such love and support for my career, after all they are the ones that got me hooked and allowed me to further my innate attributes for entertainment. For all those pursuing this crazy, eclectic, emotional, spontaneous career we like to call entertainment... go for it....

After all if it’s what keeps you alive... then don’t hesitate a heavy intake!"
