Biografia
Annette M. Lesure (born Annette Michelle Chavez) is from McAllen, Texas. At eight years old, she made her stage debut as "Snow White" in a school play, discovering her passion for acting early on. She wrote and performed in several middle school plays, competing in the University Interscholastic League (UIL), organized by The University of Texas at Austin. Alongside developing various talents, she began runway modeling at age 12. At 13, Annette won the title of Little Miss America in her only pageant, while also studying voice and dance to strengthen her acting skills.
The following summer marked a turning point. At 14, Annette's mother, Estela Burt, relocated the family to Palm Springs, California, to support Annette’s dream. Within months, she landed several national commercials, her first TV series, and joined the Screen Actors Guild.
Balancing her acting career, Annette pursued education from College of the Desert to UCLA, though her passion for journalism and foreign languages was challenged by her demanding schedule.
After six years of commuting between Palm Springs and Los Angeles, Annette eventually moved to Los Angeles full-time.
Over the past 20 years, Annette has appeared in over 100 national commercials and numerous TV shows, including a series regular role on Nickelodeon's Wild N Crazy Kids, The New Adventures of Robin Hood (filmed in Vilnius, Lithuania, and aired internationally), four years recurring on General Hospital, as well as E.R., Las Vegas, Football Wives, Windfall, Miss Match, What About Brian, Samantha Who, Bones, CSI, and House. Her sole Los Angeles stage appearance was in "El Salvador" at the Tiffany Theatre, earning her an Ovation Award nomination. While her primary focus is television, she occasionally acts in films, most recently the Hallmark Channel Christmas movie Annie Claus Is Coming to Town (2011), alongside Vivica A. Fox.
Annette continues to pursue her acting career while raising her 7-year-old son, Preston Jude Lesure, who became a working SAG actor at the age of one. They have enjoyed collaborating on several national commercials together.
