Early life

[edit]

Kelly was born in Los Angeles.[7] She is the only child of Maureen Dumont Kelly and former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay.[1][8] She has French, Irish, and Dutch-Indonesian ancestry.[9][10] She was raised primarily by her mother and her mother's on-and-off boyfriend David Gonzalez.[11][12]

Her mother worked various jobs, including as a stripper and bartender, and often struggled to make ends meet throughout Kelly's childhood.[13][14][15] At one point, they lived in a storage shed at an apartment complex after losing their apartment unit.[15] To earn extra money, her mother tried to smuggle drugs across the Mexico–United States border, but was caught and jailed for a period of time. While her mother was incarcerated, Kelly was sent to live in the homes of various friends and acquaintances of her mother.[16] In one home, Kelly was physically abused.[17]

Before Kelly began junior high school, she and her mother relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico to be near her father figure, David Gonzalez's, extended family.[16][18] When she was 16 her mother and Gonzalez fled New Mexico in an attempt to escape drug charges.[19] Kelly moved in with a boyfriend who was five years her senior, and had an abortion at 17 when she became pregnant with his child.[17]

She attended two high schools, before graduating from Valley High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[20] After graduation, Kelly reconnected with her biological father and moved back to Los Angeles.[18] Kelly's mother Maureen died in 2008, at age 51, from colon cancer.[21]

Career

She helped Kelly find work as a receptionist at a surgeon's office who would provide Kelly breast augmentation in exchange for hours worked. Kelly decided against getting the surgery and was fired.[18] Her exposure to the medical field spurred her to attend school for a year studying to become a surgeon's assistant; afterwards she worked as a scrub nurse. During the four years she spent in the vocation she continued auditioning for film and television roles and appeared in commercials for Old Navy and Clearasil.[18]

In 2003, Kelly made her acting debut as an extra in the short film The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious, a six-minute introduction to the action film 2 Fast 2 Furious.
