Sharon Talbot was born as Sharon Taylor into a large, boisterous Colorado family. She got her Equity card in a summer package of Gypsy, playing the back end of a cow. Because there was already a "Sharon Taylor" in Equity, she was forced to acquire the name "Talbot." Soon after, she was cast in Don't Drink the Water on Broadway, ultimately understudying Anita Gillette. She did her first movie role during that time, Siempre Libra, a film by Myrna Changar. Off-Broadway and regional theater productions followed, as well as a season on One Life to Live. Films include Commodities, written and directed by Fred Yu, and Michael Perrone's EVOL. Sharon created, wrote, and starred in the webseries Diana Maria Garcia, et. al. Explains It All For You. More information on Ms. Talbot can be found at www.sharontalbotactress.com.
