Autumn Reeser is an American actress and producer. Autumn’s breakout screen role came as the individualist Taylor Townsend on FOX's hit teen drama, ‘The O.C.’. This launched her into a steady stream of strong female leads on shows like ‘Entourage,’ ‘No Ordinary Family,’ ‘Last Resort,’ and many more. Over the next decade, she became a mother to two sweet boys and found a home telling love stories on the Hallmark Channel, for which she has become a much-beloved and in-demand star. In recent years she’s stepped further into her power by executive-producing for the network, as well as writing and directing additional projects for stage and screen.
