Born in Glasgow, Montana, Stacy Edwards grew up an army brat,
travelling all over the world as the daughter of an Air Force
Officer.
At 18, she began her performance career as a dancer and actress at
the Lou Conte Dance Studio in Chicago, which she received a
scholarship to attend.
Like many of today's stars, Stacy Edwards got her start in the fast
paced world of daytime. She played Hayley Benson Capwell from 1986 to
1988 on "Santa Barbara."
After doing several movies and the TV series "Sons and
Daughters," in 1997 she joined the cast of "Chicago Hope,"
which boasts one of the finest ensembles on TV, as Dr. Lisa
Catera.
Critical recognition came for her portrayal of the deaf secretary
Christine in the feature film "In the Company of Men."
She received a nomination for an Independent Spirit Award for
Best Actress, and the film won the 1997 Sundance Filmmakers Award. To
prepare for the challenging role, Edwards worked with a nurse who
taught American Sign Language in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and several
hearing-impaired students at a local university in Southern
California.
Her performance in the film is flawless.
Stacy Edwards then appeared in "Primary Colors" (with John
Travolta) as Jennifer Rogers, a political consultant with
scruples.
