Melodee is a British-trained classical theatre actress who has transitioned
to the world of TV and film. Enjoying both comedy and drama, she has
tackled lead roles in productions as diverse as Abie's Irish Rose,

appearing in the L.A. premiere of Ib Melchior's Hour of Vengeance
and created a new Shakespearean role as the wife of Tullus Aufidius in
Coriolanus.
On camera, she has starred in NBC's The Secret World of Dreams and co-starred in The Division, Freddy's Nightmares and The Jeffersons. As a voice actress, she has had lead roles in Digimon, Teknoman, Flint the Time Detective and other series. Film voicework includes Starship Troopers, Fist of the North Star and John Carpenter's Vampires. Her favorite roles have included voice doubling Sigourney Weaver in Alien: Resurrection and a collection of harpies and Amazons in Hercules / Xena. |

Having literally "fallen into" stuntwork by way of the sword training
inherent in classical theatre training (and creating the role of "Red
Sonja" in Universal's Conan show), Melodee
took it to the next level by training with stunt legend Paul Stader.
Fights, falls, hanging from helicopters and wire flying became
part of the picture. She has doubled Courtney Cox,
Stephanie Beacham, Kelly Preston,
Amy Yasbeck and Mitzi Kapture, among
others. Her credits include The Mask,
Spellbinder, The First Power,
Rescue 911, Silk Stalkings
and Dynasty.
