Annette O'Toole grew up in the Houston dance studio owned by her mom. As a young girl of two, she was the first to appear on television, as a child on the Don Mahoney Kids Trooper show. When she was 13, after ten years of singing and dancing lessons in her past, she and her mother travelled for a trip to L.A. for a year to find out if they could make it in the show business. She got her first job as a professional dancing instructor in only two months on Danny Kaye's show The Danny Kaye Show. "I've utilized my dance and singing training in many different ways," she says. It's a fantastic discipline for actors." The first time she acted was My Three Sons, followed by appearances in Gunsmoke, The Partridge Family, The Mod Squad, and Hawaii Five-O. Over the decades she has been in over 40 shows Despite her successes on television and film, O'Toole's deepest love is the theater. When her six-year run on Smallville came to an end, she chose to concentrate on theatre, that's what she's been doing over the last decade. Her first audition in New York led her to be chosen to play The Sea Gull. She has appeared in several Off-Broadway productions. Among them are Adam Rapp's Kindness Tracy Letts' Man from Nebraska and Tennessee Williams' A Lovely Sunday For Creve Couer.
