Bio

LaQuita Cleare is working to become an actress that is consistently recognized for her performances both on the big and small screens.  She was born in Chicago, IL and began taking ballet and gymnastics classes at the age of 5.  The acting bug bit soon after when her mother enrolled her in a local acting class.  As a child she loved to perform in front of others.  “I used to perform in front of my family and my Grandmother would make everyone give me money when I was finished.”  

She performed in plays throughout junior high and high school always feeling a rush of energy when onstage.  After graduating from high school, she went on to receive a B.A. in Theatre and Psychology from Loyola University of Chicago.  While in college she began auditioning for plays and doing commercials and industrials in the city.  She has performed in plays ranging from Shakespeare to the annual Playwrights fest at Pegasus Players.  After college before moving to L.A. LaQuita wanted the experience of traveling abroad.  By herself, she ventured to Morocco, Spain, and Portugal for one month.  Upon returning, just six months after graduating from college LaQuita arrived in L.A. with two suitcases in hand ready to make her mark.  

She just completed an episode of “Strong Medicine,” and has done several indie films.  She also produced and starred in the film, “Something in Common,” which will have several upcoming screenings.  LaQuita teaches salsa lessons in her spare time and along with acting, salsa is one of her true passions.  When talking about acting she says, “I’m in this for the long haul.  I eat, sleep, and dream acting and I’m determined to be one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood.”
