A Woman You Should Meet: Renee Olstead
Where do you recognize Renee Olstead from? It’s a tough question to answer.
Maybe it’s from her long-time acting career. The 26-year-old Texas native has been in the game since she was small, stacking up early on-screen credits in movies and shows like 13 Going on 30, Still Standing and The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
Or perhaps it’s from her side hustle as an accomplished singer. Olstead’s acclaimed pipes landed her on-stage at a Berlin “Live 8” concert alongside Paul McCartney, Madonna and Sting, and she’s been nominated for both a Grammy and a Golden Globe for “Best Original Song.”
Now, the dual threat is showing off both skills on-stage alongside David Arquette in a new production of Sherlock Holmes, which is playing now at Toronto’s Ed Mirvish Theatre.
