Laurette Spang
- Actress
Laurette Spang was born in Buffalo, New York but raised in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. She grew up as the middle child of a chemist father and
housewife mother. She has an older brother, Richard and a younger
sister, Marilyn. As a dramatic major in college, she made a college
trip to New York where a chance encounter with a soap opera producer
led to an audition the following summer (after graduation), and a place
at the Williamtown summer theatre. That led to a scholarship at the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. Spotted by a Universal
talent scout, she signed a contract and arrived in Hollywood in 1972.
