Stephanie Mallard Couch
Musically-obsessed Actor/Writer/Photographer, Stephanie Mallard Couch, is delighted to have found a forum where all of her creative passions collide. Music has been a source of inspiration for her throughout her life, from plunking away at a very old and out-of-tune piano, to spending her weekly allowance on 45s to play on her antiquated record player. At the ripe old age of 4, she would regale anyone who would listen with every word of The Everly Brothers' classic: "Bye, Bye, Love". During her often tumultuous early teenage years, music proved to be her escape and refuge. She would spend hours in her room cutting together fragments of songs to compile in elaborate mix tapes on her much cherished dual cassette stereo system. It is rare that she is found without a song (or 20) stuck in her head. See my acting biography or visit my photography website.
*Disclaimer: her top albums/artists change periodically and the below lists should not be considered a definitive list.
