Think if Ginger and Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island had a baby —
equal parts glam and warmth, with a spark of mischief.
Courtney Leigh Halford (She/Her/Hers) is a Kansas City-based Actress, Singer, & Model.
She is SAG-Eligible & a proud member of Actors' Equity Association since 2009.
As an only child, Courtney spent countless hours curled up in front of the TV, lost in Old Hollywood films & Disney VHS tapes. She dreamed of glamorous gowns and a life of make-believe. At 12, she signed with a local modeling agency, kicking off a career in print, runway, and plenty of dress-up along the way.
Courtney holds a BFA in Musical Theatre from Webster Conservatory, where she graduated with departmental honors. After gaining invaluable experience at esteemed regional theatres like The MUNY & The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, she made her move to the bustling Big Apple.
While in NYC, Courtney performed Off-Broadway, on TV, in commercials, narrative podcasts, and film, alongside her modeling career. For nearly 5 years, she lived out one of her childhood dreams, as a MainStage performer with Disney Cruise Line, traveling to 33 countries along the way.
Career highlights include having her first costar on Prime’s ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘ and being in the Original Cast of ‘Tangled, the Musical’ while working alongside Disney legends like Alan Menken & Glen Slater. After 13 years in NYC, Courtney has recently returned to her Kansas roots. She's relishing the family time, puppy cuddles, and pursuing hobbies like sewing and antiquing.
She is represented by Moxie Talent Agency & they keep her very busy.
