[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life

Scarlett Pomers was born in Riverside, California. When she was three years old, an agent at a local shopping mall suggested to her mother, Michelle, that Scarlett should get in to the acting business. Scarlett began doing small jobs until they found an agent they both liked. Since then, she has been a guest star on several popular television shows, appeared in several feature films, and was co-starring in the CW comedy Reba, starring Reba McEntire.

[edit] Career

Scarlett made her acting debut at the age of three in Michael Jackson's music video, "Heal the World" (1992). She then began doing commercials and has filmed over three dozen to date. She has also starred in a number of television shows, including Judging Amy, That's Life, and Touched by an Angel.

Scarlett was five years old when she made her debut on the silver screen in The Baby-Sitters Club. She also appeared in Slappy and the Stinkers, Happy, Texas, and Erin Brockovich, and TV-movies Geppetto and, on the Disney Channel, A Ring of Endless Light.

Scarlett's first major role was as Naomi Wildman on the UPN sci-fi program Star Trek: Voyager. She appeared in 17 episodes over three years and won a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Drama Series: Supporting Young Actress. She went to the cast of the WB series Reba, playing Kyra Hart, the younger daughter of Reba and Brock Hart (Reba McEntire and Christopher Rich). She has also appeared as a judge for ION Television's series America's Most Talented Kids.

As a singer, Scarlett founded the band SCARLETT, which has played at venues including the Knitting Factory, House of Blues, Club One-Seven, The Roxy, and the Whisky a Go Go. She is currently endorsed by Minarik Guitars and can be seen in their advertisements with the popular Inferno model.

The 2009 Amy Smart movie, Love N' Dancing, features Scarlett's song "Valentine," which she wrote as a poem at age 12 and then turned it into a song years later. She had also performed the song during an episode of America's Most Talented Kids.

[edit] Personal life

Some of her hobbies include writing, drawing, horseback riding, surfing, yoga, skiing and spending time with her big brother, Shane. Scarlett also studies Egyptian belly dance, East Indian tribal dance and Kendo.

In late 2005, various entertainment sources reported that Scarlett had checked into an anorexia treatment facility. Her weight had dropped to 73 pounds and she was exercising as much as six hours per day. Scarlett's character, Kyra, was absent from most of the fifth season of Reba, having only appeared in two episodes out of twenty-two. She was out of the facility by January 2006.[2] Following her release from treatment, Scarlett became an ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association and is in the process of starting an organization called Arch Angels, an organization that will raise money for people who suffer from eating disorders but cannot afford treatment. Her efforts led Teen People magazine to name her one of the 20 teens who will change the world. Scarlett returned to the set of Reba and was shooting episodes for season six until the show ended in 2007.

Her eating disorder was referenced in the first episode of season six. Upon entering the set to a thunderous round of applause in Season 6, episode 1, (after being absent for most of season 5) Reba asked her character Kyra "Where have you been?", to which Kyra replied "I went to get something to eat." Later in the same episode, she was in the living room heading towards the kitchen when Van (Steve Howey) asked, "Where are you going?" She responded, "I'm going to grab something to eat" and Van replied, "Okay, see you next year."[3]

Also, mentioned on her myspace page, Scarlett has a motorcycle license.
