Ashley was born in Torrance, CA to parents Rex and Sherry Saint'Onge, following her older brother by three years, Rex, Jr. The family moved to Toluca Lake when Rex, Sr. was a cartoonist at Warner Bros. Studios, and later moved again to San Luis Obispo when Ashley's father left Warner Bros. to pursue his lifelong career as a paleontologist. Ashley grew up heavily involved in theatre and comedy, with a strong focus on the history of entertainment, mostly due to her family's history in the field - Her second cousin was Al Capp, the creator of the Li'l Abner comic strips, and her great uncle was character actor Milton Frome (who was a straight man for Milton Berle, and a major player in the USO tours in the Abbott & Costello era). Ashley began doing stand-up comedy for her third and fourth grade classes and never looked back. She started her studies in theatre in the 6th grade, and many lead roles were to follow through high school. She was asked to model for a mermaid calendar by a local photographer when she was in the 8th grade, which set the foundation for her strong modeling background. Ashley studied acting at several schools, including courses at Blue Rider Studios in Los Angeles and seminars in Manhattan. She focused on the Arts at her high school, and emceed a theatre festival called Dramatic Connections, a gathering of theatre programs in Southern California. Her natural passion for entertaining drew her to the character department at Disneyland, in which she flourished for three years. She is now an active stand-up comedian, model and actress in Los Angeles.
