Biography
Minka Kelly was born in Los Angeles on June 24, 1980, and it's really no surprise that she ended up in an industry in which entertaining others is the main purpose -- her father was a guitarist for Aerosmith, and her mother was a Las Vegas showgirl. It seems as if living the life of an entertainer was her destiny.

She returned to her birthplace of Los Angeles shortly after finishing high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to follow her dreams.
Though success was not immediate, Minka Kelly soon landed speaking parts on Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh and on FOX’s Cracking Up.
