Lynne-Marie Beard was born in Montana and spent her early childhood living in Botswana where her father was a safari guide and bush pilot. Thanks to her father -who is a native of Mozambique- she is a good shot and a natural for picking up dialects. After her return to the United States she eventually graduated from California Lutheran University with a degree in Political Science. After deciding to pursue acting instead of a career in the Foreign Service she studied film acting exclusively for five years before launching a career in 2009.
