Whether you tune in to the big screen or the small screen these days, you’re going to find Skye P. Marshall. In addition to starring on Showtime’s Shameless, the Chicago-born actress recently starred in the well-received Lifetime movie Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart as Braxton’s sister Towanda. Next up, you’ll see her on the silver screen this Friday alongside Josh Duhamel, Al Pacino and Sir Anthony Hopkins in the thriller Misconduct. Marshall, who has studied theatre, ballet, gymnastics and jazz since the age of 7, is more than just a pretty face: the Northeastern Illinois University graduate also served in the U.S. Air Force working as a medic. An impressive resume, to say the least. Now it’s time to check out this up and coming starlet’s insider’s guide to the City of Angels.
