Shawn Huff began her career in modeling and acting when she was 15 years old. While attending high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico Shawn was ‘discovered’ by modeling agent from France. After convincing her parents to let her go, Shawn left for Paris and signed with Paris Planning Models. She spent the next year traveling throughout Europe working for L’Oreal, Marie-Claire, Vogue, Bazaar and numerous advertising and catalogue clients. Shawn then signed with Fashion Models in Milan and spent the next two years enjoying work in Italy.
When Shawn was 18 years old she decided she wanted to be back in the U.S. and began working for Ford Models in New York where she spent the next 3 years. In New York Shawn worked for all the major magazines including Vogue, Mademoiselle, Seventeen and Bazaar. An opportunity came up to sign with Nina Blanchard models in Los Angeles and Shawn took it.
Once arriving in Los Angeles, modeling began to take a back seat to the new world of acting. Shawn started doing commercials and had 12 national spots running in her first year. She was bit with the acting bug! Shawn started taking all different kinds of acting classes from scene study to improvisation, comedy and cold reading.
Although it took 132 interviews to book her first acting role, Shawn persevered and was hired for her first series, “The Secrets of Lake Success” which was created by team from Dynasty. Shawn went on to do other series including “McKenna”, an ABC series that she shot for 6 months in Oregon. After
”McKenna”, ABC gave Shawn a development deal at the network. Shawn has also done many movies including 100 Mile Rule, Absence of the Good, The Bad Pack, and We the People.
Shawn continues to act and model and she is the mother to Bailey and wife to Brent Huff who is also an actor and a film director.
