Biography

Mary Kate Schellhardt was raised in a family immersed in the arts. She consistently attended acting classes and studied at Chicago’s Piven Theatre Workshop, where she honed her skills using Viola Spolin's theatre game techniques.

At 13, casting director Gail Levin discovered her during a nationwide search for the role of "Ellen Grape" in Lasse Hallström’s 1993 film What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Securing the part launched her film career. During her last two years of high school, she filmed Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home (1995), Apollo 13 (1995), and The Great Mom Swap (1995), traveling to locations in Austin, Los Angeles, and the San Juan Islands.

Keen to maintain a normal life outside of acting, Mary Kate participated in high school plays when not working professionally. Passionate about acting both on screen and stage and eager to deepen her knowledge, she attended Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama, a prestigious acting conservatory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

After graduating, Mary Kate moved to Los Angeles to resume work in television and film. She spent three years living in Brooklyn, a hub for artists, before relocating from New York to Los Angeles in 2014. As of 2014, she divides her time between both coasts, aiming to establish herself across stage, film, and television.
