24-Year-Old Redhead of the Week

From Houston, Texas, Rebecca Renee Olstead (born June 18, 1989) had parents who encouraged her talents. She loved to sing along to the radio, especially Celine Dion.

Renee has been onstage singing since she was 5, and cut a self-titled album at 15. At 10, she scored some supporting roles in television series and made-for-TV movies, among them Streets of Laredo (1995), Out There (1997), Touched by an Angel (1998), and Providence (1999).

Renee's first Hollywood role came in The Insider (1999), in which she played Russell Crowe's daughter. Another minor part followed alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in End of Days (2000). That same year, she appeared with four famous geezers in Space Cowboys (2000).

In 2002 she was cast as Lauren, the precocious teenager of a Chicago blue-collar family in the CBS sitcom Still Standing.

Thanks to Renee and her website. I bet her new album's a knock-out.
