Born in Saudi Arabia, Melora Walters spent part of her childhood in Holland before moving to NY. As a young adult she was active in sports and dance, both of which helped to shape her desire to perform. After studying abroad, she returned to America to pursue a career as an artist at the Pratt Institute in New York.
With the encouragement of her art professors, Walters began to write plays and experiment with acting. With persistence and determination, she soon found her way to the legendary Actor's Studio, and she began performing in various off-Broadway productions, including, "Scream and Dances of Bronx Bear" and "Burt Lancaster" at the Manhattan Class Company.
Melora is best known for her haunting performance as the drug addicted yet sympathetic 'Claudia' in the critically-acclaimed film "Magnolia." She can also be seen in "Matchstick Men," "Cold Mountain" and "Butterfly Effect."
Other credits include "Rain," "Wise Girls," "Boogie Nights," "Hard Eight," "Dead Poet's Society," "Eraser," "Ed Wood" and "Twenty Bucks."
Walters has also made many appearances on the small screen. Her television credits include "Push, Nevada," "L.A. Doctors," "Roseanne," "NYPD Blue," "Picket Fences," "Seinfeld" and Showtime's telefilm "Dead Man's Revenge."
Walters is also an accomplished artist, writer and painter.
