Actress Taylour Paige Focuses on Education

Date:

Some celebrities pay lip service to education, but others, like actress/model/dancer Taylour Paige, mean it. Paige graduated from Loyola Marymount University before launching her acting career.

College or Dance?

After her 2008 graduation from St. Bernard Catholic High School, she matriculated to Loyola Marymount, according to IMDB. While attending college, she worked on her dance career, earning her first big break in 2010 when she landed a spot as a Laker Girl. Paige spent three months on the cheer/dance squad for the Los Angeles Lakers, but when the job got in the way of school, she quit.

Studying Dance

The young actress didn’t desert ballet or modern dance for college completely. Since 2001, she had been performing with choreographer/actress Debbie Allen’s productions and studying under the accomplished dance maven. In fact, Allen introduced her to TV producer Stan Rogow, who set up an audition for Paige for a featured dance part in 2008’s “High School Musical 3,” according to Facts Buddy.

Modeling Provides Entry to TV Work

While dancing as a Laker Girl while an undergraduate takes up a bit too much time, filming TV commercials and shooting print ads doesn’t. That’s what Paige focused on to earn money while in school, explaining why you see some space on her resume between dancing in HSM3 and her featured role in the TV series, “Hit the Floor.” After graduating from college, the actress landed her role as Ahsha Hayes, a cheerleader for the fictional basketball team, the Los Angeles Devils. She played the role from 2013 to 2016.

Fast Forward to the Present

Today, Paige has won a Best Actress Independent Spirit Award and continually works as an actress and model. She also recorded a hit song with Kendrick Lamar, “We Cry Together,” according to TV Over Mind After movies, including “Zola” and “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” she’s returning to television. The actress will appear in the forthcoming horror series, “IT: Welcome to Derry.”

Set in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, created by literary mastermind Stephen King, the series tells the backstory of the residents of the town long-terrorized by Pennywise. The producers and director of the show haven’t shared many details of the series, but Paige’s fans look forward to the series pilot, which features her heavily.

In interviews, Taylour continues to discuss how much college meant to her and how she wanted to complete her degree before entering acting full-time. Biding her time may have provided her with an edge that most other actresses her age don’t have—the kind of discipline that earning a four-year degree while working requires.
