The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say that Annika Noelle might be living and working in Los Angeles right now, but she will always be a Boston girl at heart. The daytime television star, who is best known for her role as Hope Logan on the hit CBS soap, recently opened up about being a Boston gal in L.A. and how fortunate she feels for being where she is today. Here’s what you need to know.
The Bold and the Beautiful Star Annika Noelle Opens Up About Being A Boston Gal In L.A.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Annika says that she always knew that she wanted to be an actress. In fact, she even knew when she was in pre-school! She said, “My first role ever was a three-toed sloth in The Great Kapok Tree. Since then, acting has always been in my life, and in high school, I made the decision to pursue it as a career. I grew up a cinephile on old classic Hollywood films like Singin’ in the Rain and Once Upon a Time in the West. I loved those big, beautiful, colorful features — and that’s why I went into dancing, singing and acting, so I could be a triple threat in case musical theater ever came back to movies, which it did!”
For Annika, she had to pack her bags and leave the one home that she’s ever known – the East Coast – to move out west in order to follow her dreams. She says that while her parents did support her, they were also wary as they weren’t sure if she would be able to support herself as a actress.
The Bold and the Beautiful Star Annika Feels Grateful
Recalling that time in her life, Annika told the publication, “I applied to 10 theater schools, and it’s a really hard process because not only do you have to get accepted into the school, you also have to get accepted into the theater school. I worked my way through student films and extra work because I didn’t have any connections in L.A. It took eight years to get where I am, and I’m so grateful for all of the opportunities I’ve had. It’s even harder now with the invention of the Internet. Not only are you competing against everyone in town, you’re competing against everyone in the world. Anyone can self-tape and send in auditions now, so it’s definitely tough.”
