Who is Laura Ramsey?

Born on November 14, 1982 in Brandon, Wisconsin, USA, Laura Ramsey is an actress known for her roles in several films. Some of her most notable projects include “Are You Here”, “She’s The Man”, “The Ruins”, and “The Middle Men”. She has also appeared in a few television shows, including a starring role in 2015’s “Hindsight”.

Laura Ramsey’s net worth

As of early 2020, Laura Ramsey’s net worth is estimated to be over $2 million, earned through a successful acting career in the entertainment industry from 2004 to 2015. However, she has not taken on any new projects since then, and it is unknown if she will return to the profession.

Beginning of early life, education and career

Laura grew up in Brandon, raised by her parents, and attended Laconia High School in nearby Rosendale. After graduating from college, she enrolled at Ripon College in nearby Ripon, Wisconsin. She did not initially intend to pursue an acting career, but the school is known for its focus on the liberal arts and offers its students the opportunity to work with a variety of business partners, including opportunities to travel abroad.

She completed a bachelor’s degree and then moved to Los Angeles to consider a career as a model or actress.

She was working at a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, where she was spotted by a casting agent, who invited her to audition for the movie.”The real Cancun”. The film follows the story of 16 Americans who spent their spring break in Cancun, Mexico, employing a strategy similar to that of reality TV shows. It was not a success as it flopped at the box office but the effect was the opposite for Laura as it basically launched her career.

Rise to fame

Around the same time, Ramsey got her first television project, working on the series “The Days”, which depicts the titular family, with each episode spanning one day.

In the following years, she consistently had more work in films, appearing in ‘Lords of Dogtown’ before landing starring roles in ‘Venom’ and ‘Cruel World’. The latter film is an independent feature film and tells the story of a man who hosts a game show where the losers end up being killed by him.

She was subsequently cast in the movie “The covenantstarring Taylor Kitsch and Sebastian Stan.

The movie received negative reviews, but still did well at the box office, which didn’t hurt Laura’s career. She next got a starring role in the French Canadian project “Whatever Lola Wants” which tells the story of a postman who travels to Egypt to find a famous belly dancer.

The film actually did well in Morocco, becoming one of the highest-grossing films there. She also had a role in the movie “The Ruins” alongside Jonathan Tucker and Jena Malone; this film was also successful, although it received mixed reviews.

Continue acting

After guest starring in “Mad Men”, Laura next worked on the film “Middle Men” before appearing in the independent film “Shrink”, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Starring Kevin Spacey, the film tells the story of his character’s life as a psychiatrist in Hollywood.

In 2010, she had a minor role in “Somewhere”, which is about a newly famous actor trying to mend a relationship with his daughter, while trying to sort out an existential crisis.

The following year, Laura worked on a series of films, including “Where the Road Meets the Sun” and “Hirokin”. She was also cast in “Kill the Irishman” based on Rick Porello’s book “To Kill the Irishman: The War that Crippled the Mafia” which tells the story of gangster Danny Green who was a prominent member of a 1970s Cleveland gang war that all but destroyed the mob presence there.

In 2012, she collaborated with Adelaide Clemens and Luke Evans on the horror film “No One Lives” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Recent projects and hiatus

In 2013, Ramsey continued her trend of consistency in movies, with parts in “Are You Here” and “Pulling Strings”, the latter an American-Mexican collaboration starring Jamie Camil. It tells the story of a Mariachi singer who falls in love with a US embassy employee while trying to get a visa for his child. Her last film project took place in the same year with “Awful Nice”, starring Christopher Meloni and Brett Gelman.

After that, she took more time to focus on television roles as it is a way to get more consistent pay. She had guest roles in “My Generation” and “White Collar”, a show that follows the lives of a con artist and a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) special agent, who team up to solve crimes.

In 2015, she was cast in “Hindsight” as main character Becca Brady. In the show, during her second marriage, her character is transported back in time, which leads her to the night before her first marriage, when she decides to right many wrongs and change the course of her life.

The show also created a companion series – “Planet Sebastian” – based on the show’s character. Both had good reviews and were scheduled to continue, but were canceled after a change in leadership from network VH1. Since then, she has not returned to any new acting projects and lives life away from the spotlight.

Private life

It is unknown if Laura is in a relationship or married as she has never spoken publicly about that part of her life. She did claim that she likes more bookish and sensitive guys as compared to the typical sporty guys or jocks. She also dislikes having a presence online, believing it to be a place of very little scrutiny and prone to abuse. She used to have an account on Twitter, but became inactive there shortly before her last acting project.

Quotes

#	Quote
1	The internet is so big that no one can really control anything.
2	Personally, I’m not even trying to compare New York and LA. For me they are just way too different.
3	I’ve always gone for the more sensitive, bookish guy, all the way. The jock boys, the sporty boys, I don’t know… they just didn’t do it for me.
4	If you go in and guest star on a TV show, they already have their family – everyone pretty much knows everyone, and everyone has already formed that base.
5	Statistically, Portland, Oregon has the most street children, such as children who run away from home and live on the streets. It’s a very cultural thing there. When you walk down the street, there are kids living on the streets begging for money, but it’s almost a cool thing. They all just sit around and play music and crouch.
