Lorelei Mahoney (born November 17, 1984) is an American musician and actress turned screenwriter who has played roles in major films such as Hollywood & Wine and She's Out of My League as well as starring in numerous music videos, documentaries relating her music career, and network television shows. She is also the writer of the Irish film Leno’s Last Kiss.[1]
Early life
Lorelei Mahoney was born in 1984 to Pamela Ammerman and Billy Jo Charbonneaux. When Mahoney was 9 years old, her mother was murdered and she ended up in foster care.[2][3] She was later adopted by Lisa Montgomery, becoming the adopted granddaughter of Grand Ole Opry preacher and actress Dottie Snow-Tubb, the former wife of country music legend Hank Snow and the great granddaughter of radio legends Smoky Swan and Radio Dot. In 2009, Lorelei was also involved in a devastating car accident which left her with a mild traumatic brain injury. She has since made a full recovery.[4]
Career
Mahoney’s career began as a child in the mid-1980s with minor roles on Sesame Street. She also had appearances on You Can't Do That on Television. In the 1990s she had limited roles including the Ozzfest video documentary and in the television series Are You Afraid of the Dark?. Mahoney’s current career took off in the 2000s when she landed roles in hit movies such as Hollywood & Wine and She's Out of My League. She also wrote and starred in her own film entitled Leno’s Last Kiss and had several appearances in the television series Valentine.[5]
From 1998 to 2002, Lorelei stopped acting to pursue a music career. She first began with the hardcore band Cronus Rising and later became their manager. It was at that time that she met Mikey Murder from the band Murder Maim Kill and also got back into acting. It was after a concert in New Jersey where she was asked to stay behind by a director shooting a horror film. Lorelei returned to acting after her extra role in that film.[6]
Personal life
Mahoney is rumored to be a strong believer in the paranormal and astrology and lives in Pennsylvania due to its “haunted history.” She is also the honorary co-chair of the Dover Paranormal Society which is located approximately 20 minutes from Gettysburg.[7] Mahoney is also the owner of a photography company in Philadelphia which is called Kavanaugh Photography as a tribute to her grandmother.[8] Mahoney holds dual citizenship between Ireland and The United States.
Mahoney married in 2004 to Edwin Gunn. They divorced in 2007.[9] Mahoney is currently partnered with Jared L.
