​​​ANALIESE ANDERSON

Biography

Analiese Anderson is originally from Germany, and this is her native language.  She has 10 brothers and sisters, and she is #9 in the pecking order.  So she learned from a very young age how to play well with others, fight for her rights and share MUCH more than she ever cared to! lol   Her step-father was a Lt. Colonel in the Army and he met her mother while doing a tour in Germany.   He adopted the last  5 children remaining in the home and moved them all to America.   It takes a very loving  and kind man to accept an entire family into his heart as he did and  she admires and loves him beyond belief. May he rest in peace.  Analiese’s  first memories of America are The Statue of Liberty as the ship pulled into New York Harbor and The Golden Gate Bridge as her family settled in San Francisco.  She grew up being painfully shy and quite introverted.  After briefly moving back to Germany her family moved to Lincoln, NE where she played tennis for the University of Nebraska and then moved to Tuscaloosa to finish her degree at Alabama.  This is where she caught the acting bug.  She auditioned for  the school play “Death of  A Salesman” to get over her fear of being in front of an audience.  This unleashed “The Diva” in her!  She performed in musicals such as “South Pacific” and “Carnival”, was involved in comedies, dramas, commercials, modeling  and print work.

​

She slowed down to get married, however, unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be and they divorced 5 years later,  She then raised her son as a single mom and strived to be the best mother she could be.  And to this day he is still her greatest accomplishment. After he entered college she realized she missed being in the spotlight.  Analiese describes being in front of an audience or in front of the camera as an intense high that last for hours after the cameras quit rolling or the curtain drops.  She has never found anything else that makes her feel that way and she has to chase that dream.  In the past few years she has been privileged to have speaking roles in films, be part of national commercials, shoot a pilot as a co-host and do voice-over work for an audiobook.  She has also had the pleasure of appearing in television series, such as Fatal Encounters, Drop Dead Diva and The Gates.  This past year she shot the pilot and several episodes for a new talk show in Atlanta.

​

Analiese's defining moment came five years ago. Her son was graduating from school and her father (her safety net), her cat and dog all passed away from cancer in a matter of  a few months.  And if that wasn’t enough, she had to overcome her own life threatening disease/ca.  Those devastating months gave Analiese the rude awakening she needed.  When her life literally flashed before her eyes (no drama intended), she realized that life is short and you don’t ever know when God decides it’s your time to join him.  She realized this is her niche in life. . .her destiny and it is never too late to follow your dreams.  So her new motto is: Live, Love and follow your Dreams TODAY, for there may not be a tomorrow to wait for!!  Analiese has thrown herself into the acting arena where she is climbing the proverbial “Ladder to Success”.   Analiese would like to leave you with one of her favorite quotes “ Life isn’t about waiting for the Storm to pass. . . it’s about learning to Dance in the Rain”.
