Annette O'Toole grew up in the Houston dance studio owned by her mother. The first time she appeared on TV was when she was just two, as a kid appearing on the Don Mahoney Kiddie Trooper Show. When she was 13, after ten years of singing and dancing classes to her credit, she along with her mother traveled for a trip to L.A. for a year to find out if they could make it in the show business. In just two months, she got her first professional job: dancing with Danny Kaye on The Danny Kaye Show. She claims that she's used her singing and dancing talents in numerous ways. It's a discipline-building experience that comes from it is a huge benefit for actors." Her first role as an actor was My Three Sons, followed by appearances in Gunsmoke, The Partridge Family, The Mod Squad, as well as Hawaii Five-O. One of her greatest loves, despite her film and television success was theatre. The actress decided after her six year run on Smallville was done, to focus on acting exclusively. This is exactly what she's been doing since beginning of the year. An audition she took in New York led her to being cast in The Sea Gull. She's been in several off Broadway productions including Adam Rapp's "Kindness", Tracy Letts Man From Nebraska as well as Tennessee Williams A Lovely Sunday for Creve Couer.
