Kelly Marie Monaco was born on May 23, 1976, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She grew up in a traditional Italian Catholic household, the third of five sisters. The Monacos relocated from the big city to the rural Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania before Kelly became a teenager. Although initially unhappy about the move, she eventually learned to love her peaceful surroundings.
Monaco excelled at sports, including soccer, swimming, tennis, track, and softball, as well as speech, debate and drama during her high school years. She then attended Northampton Community College, where she majored in mass communications for two years, and worked as a lifeguard at the Mount Airy Lodge. With dreams of becoming an actress, she planned her escape from the Poconos.
Monaco proudly states that she is a born competitor. In addition to athletics, she participated intensely in speech, debate and theater during high school. Monaco's television debut came in 1997, when she landed a recurring role on "Baywatch" (1989). She has since segued into the feature film world with roles in Idle Hands (1999), Mumford (1999) and BASEketball (1998). Raised in an Italian Catholic home, Monaco is very close with her family, especially her great-grandmother. She enjoys volunteering for children's charity events, as well as working with elders. She currently resides in West Hollywood, California.
