Biography from IMDB: IMDb mini biography by: Kendra Munger
"Kendra Munger captures her; the performance is breathtaking." -Director Anne Lower on Kendra's portrayal of doomed actress Peg Entwistle
"One of the most impressive performances was by Kendra Munger as the Beggar Woman. She is such a brilliant singer, the audience doesn't even realize she has some of the most difficult vocals in the whole show. And even though her makeup made her look grotesque, underneath it all you can see she is a very beautiful woman as well as an extremely accomplished actress." -Director and Lee Strasberg Acting teacher Derrel Maury
Kendra grew up in New Canaan, CT, the daughter of a United Airlines pilot and flight attendant, allowing her to travel the world at a young age and experience different people and cultures. The family attended a Quaker Meetinghouse, where work for peace and justice were very much nurtured.
Kendra was drawn to the stage early, performing first in community theatre at the age of 9, and moving to professional theatre at 12. But it was only as an adult that Kendra learned she was continuing a family business. Kendra directly descends from a long line of professional actors who were active on the British stage for generations, spanning over a hundred years in the 1800's!
After majoring in Theatre at Skidmore College, Kendra interned as a performing apprentice at the Jupiter Theatre in Florida, then studied Shakespeare in London, toured the United States with children's theatre companies and played leading roles in regional theatres up and down the East Coast.
Kendra then originated the role of Princess Diana in the much-hyped production of "Queen of Hearts" Off-Broadway, which also landed her on such shows as "Entertainment Tonight", "Access Hollywood" and "Extra."
Moving to Los Angeles brought TV and film credits which have included: Star Trek: Picard, NCIS, A.P. Bio, The Young & the Restless and All My Children, as well as a personal favorite: the recurring role of the ghost of Peg Entwistle (the distraught actress who threw herself off the Hollywood Sign in 1932) in the cult web series "They Live Among Us."
Kendra's love for all animals led her to animal rescue. She has taken in many young and sick animals until forever homes could be found (and she enjoys posting pictures of her own two "foster fails" on Instagram @kendramungeractor)
In the summer of 2017 Kendra was surprised to be diagnosed with stage IV follicular lymphoma, a non-curable but highly treatable form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Following 6 rounds of chemotherapy and an additional 2 years of immunotherapy, Kendra is now what they call "NED" (no evidence of disease). As humor and "searching for silver linings" are Kendra's preferred way of dealing with challenges, she likes to joke that the Universe was just saying that she needed to change her look! When her long blonde hair fell out, casting loved her new, short, edgier style and convinced her to keep it (so thank you, Universe!)
Most recently Kendra has written her first pilot, "Stroked", with writing partner Julie Garnye. The project has producers attached and has generated interest from current series regulars and showrunners.

My passion is helping business leaders transform and create sustainable growth. We are all the person we are today, and the person we're becoming. I leverage the science behind helping people get what they want and inspire people, teams, and companies to challenge themselves, and creates a pathway for transformation and results. I have been chief strategist leading company turnarounds to deliver growth across different products, countries and industries. There is a science to helping companies and people achieve the next level! Most people don't leverage this (because it's hard to face the whole truth!) and we choose to keep the conversation superficial. I engage people where it matters most so that people get lasting transformation, not momentary change. Whether a strategic planning session with the executive team, or entrepreneurs who are stuck or plateaued in their business, I use a strategic framework perfected over the past 20 years to get proven and lasting results. Whether it is a specific area of the business such as the digital strategy, modernization of the business model or compensation plan, sales success formula, operations, finance, HR, recruiting and onboarding systems, branding, selling systems, marketing programs, influencer strategy, promotions and incentives, my approach delivers results. I have taken great pride in being the person behind the scenes helping create heroes in each organization I have had the privilege of touching. I love seeing families living the life they dreamed, with full and meaningful relationships all around them. I don’t just focus on one lane of business. My approach is the whole person and the whole business. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts... and most organizations, teams, families, marriages, relationships and influencers are not whole today. But they can be.
