Born and raised in the vibrant city of Omaha, Nebraska, Rachel Lien's innate passion for performing became evident at a remarkably young age. Before the tender age of eight, she was already taking the stage by storm, showcasing her remarkable acting, singing, and dancing abilities at the renowned Omaha Community Playhouse, a prestigious institution that has played host to legendary performers such as Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.
As she grew, Lien's talent continued to blossom, earning widespread acclaim from theater critics and audiences alike. By the age of 12, she had already secured a string of impressive roles, including The Miracle Worker, Gypsy, and Annie Get Your Gun, which would ultimately lead to her receiving the coveted Theater Arts Guild Award for Best Youth Actress and the prestigious Mary Peckham Award for her stunning portrayal of Helen Keller.
Lien's dramatic talents did not go unnoticed on the big screen either. She shared the spotlight with other rapidly rising young actors such as Kelly Blatz and Daryl Sabara in the film "April Showers", which also starred Tom Arnold and Illeana Douglas. Her impressive depiction of Jessica earned high praise from director Andrew Robinson, who described her as "One of the best raw talents I've come across in a long time".
Her upcoming role in "Ticket Out", starring the talented Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Charlie St. Cloud) and Billy Burke (Twilight, New Moon),promises to further showcase her impressive range of talent as the rifle-toting, orthodontia-challenged drugstore employee, Ellen. With each new performance, Lien continues to cement her status as a rising star in the world of entertainment.
