Dawn McCoy was born in Dallas, Texas. She is an actor, television host and personality...and not just in a "TV personality" kind of way. As a little girl growing up in Dallas, Texas, her family would frequently sing oldies to her: Lloyd Price's "You've Got Personality" when they were delighted by her zeal for life, and Joe Jones' "You Talk Too Much" when they weren't so delighted. But, even at an early age, Dawn loved people. It was clear that she had a gift not only for gab, but for connecting people, communicating with people, and inspiring them to be their happiest selves when she was around. She literally spread sunshine and smiles wherever she went. That smile has taken her on a whimsical, winding road - one on which she was amongst other things, Barbra Streisand's personal shopper, a makeup artist, and a country singer - only to realize that that earliest, purest gift of hers was her greatest gift.

With that gift, she spreads sunshine today as a host, writer, humanitarian, social media influencer, beauty and lifestyle expert, public speaker, actor, and singer/songwriter. You could say she stays busy. But as one of the most respected foodies in Los Angeles, at least she doesn't stay hungry...or thirsty.

A proponent of "doing good," she's been the spokesperson and Global Ambassador for Unite4Good, is an ambassador for both No Kid Hungry and Dress For Success, and her #Dear15Me philanthropic social media movement was featured on The Real. As a voiceover actor, you have heard her as the voice of Marshalls, Subaru, Serta, Target, Overstock, Diet Dr. Pepper, Little Tikes, UPS and many more.

Dawn lives in Los Angeles, with her Maltese, Miss Ellie, in a place called "Casa Texicali" - because you can take the girl out of Texas...but you can never take Texas out of the girl...
