B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Ashley Park into the ol’ VCR.

On June 6, 1991, Ashley Park was born. 

And, it seems she was born to perform. 

Starting dance lessons at three and piano lessons at five, Ashley Park was basically a star from a young age. 

Her love of performing would continue as she grew up, as she participated in her middle and high schools’ choir and theater programs. She even founded an a capella group at her high school. 

Unfortunately, in the 10th grade, Ashley was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The disease forced an eight-month long hospitalization, but she underwent treatment, eventually going into remission. 

HELL YEAH. 

During her hospitalization, the Make-A-Wish Foundation helped her and her family go to New York and see several Broadway shows, which is where it seems her passion for musical theater skyrocketed. 

In 2014, Ashley made her Broadway debut in Mamma Mia!

Over the years, she’s starred in several musicals, including Mean Girls as the iconic Gretchen Wieners. She’s also been nominated for and received several awards for her performances. 

In 2019, Ashley was cast in Emily in Paris, and the rest is history. 

The only other thing I want to mention is that late last year, Ashley had septic shock, and, because she’s a badass, made a full recovery. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Ashley Park that hasn’t already been said. 

Ashley, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
