Early life

[edit]

Gould was born in Los Angeles, California, to a Jewish family.[1] Her older brother is actor Alexander Gould.[2][3][4]

Career

[edit]

Gould's acting career began at three weeks old in a birthing scene. At six weeks old, she portrayed baby Chaz Bono in a movie about Sonny & Cher.[5] She played the role of four-year-old Lucy, the daughter of Louie and Kim, on the Home Box Office comedy series Lucky Louie.[6][A] Gould appeared in the CBS television series The Ghost Whisperer in 2007 playing the role of young Melinda in the episode "All Ghosts Lead to Grandview".[8] She also has appeared in feature films, including the 2007 comedy Blades of Glory, and the 2009 film The Rebound in which she co-starred as one of Catherine Zeta-Jones' children.[9]

She co-starred in the role of Shannon Clemens on the Lifetime original series Rita Rocks from 2008 to 2009.[10][11] Scott D. Pierce of Deseret News said this about Gould's performance on Rita Rocks: "9-year-old Shannon (Kelly Gould) is one of those too-cutesy-to-be-true sitcom kids."[12]

In 2009, Gould appeared in the Lifetime channel television series Drop Dead Diva.[13][14] She played the role of Rosie, Emma Ross's friend, in several episodes of the Disney Channel comedy series Jessie in 2012–2013.[citation needed] When Gould turned fourteen she decided to stop acting, though she indicated that she might pursue acting after college.[1]
