New Orleans native Shelley Hennig is widely famous for her status as Miss Teen USA 2004. While her dazzling allure got her the crown, her passion for acting and incredible talent got her the ticket to the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. She learned here how to channel her undying love of acting and her drive to become an actress and exploit efficiently her natural beauty. This led, with the help of our Artistic Director Joan See, to her landing the role of “Stephanie Johnson” on Days of our Lives. And the rest as they say is history…

“NYCDA turned me into a confident, working actress, something I never thought was possible! Their amazing faculty gave me the tools, knowledge, and experience I needed to get out into the entertainment world and not just do well, but stand out. I truly believe I would not be where I am today without NYCDA”  Shelley Hennig

We wish Shelley the best of luck with her amazing nomination as Best Young Actress in a Drama Series in the Daytime Emmy Awards that will air Sunday June 27th at 9pm EST on CBS. Go Shelley!!
