Cynthia Leigh Young
Born and raised native New Yorker. I started acting at the tender age of 5. Landing the lead role in my kindergarten school play. My mom said I would never be able to memorize all those lines, well , well, well she was wrong and I was hooked.
Some of my favorite roles are Peter in Peter Pan, Aldonza in Man of La Mancha and Meg in Crimes of the heart. Started booking TV and Film and ended up with a five-year run recurring on Another World as Officer Carla Elliott.
I am a classically trained actor who studied with one of the greatest and toughest acting teachers of our time. The late Robert(Bob)Patterson.
After receiving a cancer diagnosis which took me out of the loop for a while. I started my own business. Wanting to do alternative medicine, I invested in a medical device from Germany called Ondamed and opened “Time To Heal”. It changed my life . I am now healthy. I have been very successful helping people with all kinds of medical and emotional needs. Oddly enough it taught me so much about what’s important in life. And one thing that stands out for me is my passion for acting and storytelling. It just makes me feel good no matter what the role is!
Some of my favorite music is early Doo Wop, The Beatles and Prince. My favorite actor is Charles Laughton and I am a collector of Antiques, Art and Buttons. “ You may say I’m a Dreamer but I’m not the only one .“
