EXPLORING THE BIGGER PICTURE
Stacy Haiduk - *ON LOCATION
*Los Angeles, California
“Women need to be empowered at day one.” - Stacy Haiduk
Stacy Haiduk is an Emmy Nominated American actress based in Los Angeles. Over the past 30 years, she’s worked with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Aaron Spelling and has voiced characters for the recent video game series, “Star Wars: The Old Republic.”
Scanning across Stacy’s lengthy and impressive IMDb credits, she might be best known for her roles as Patty Williams on “The Young & The Restless,” or Kristen Dimera on “Days Of Our Lives,” Lana Lang on “Superboy,” Jenny on HBO’s “True Blood”, Colleen on “Melrose Place” and Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Hitchcock on “Seaquest 2032”…among dozens of other roles in film and television.
Stacy has also been my very good friend since the 7th grade. We graduated from Northview High School together in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She immediately moved to New York City to pursue her acting, dancing and modeling careers. I’ve always admired her tenacity and relentless drive in a difficult business. Talking to her over the years has inspired me to keep pursuing my own lofty goals…because I saw her achieving hers.
For someone so accomplished, Stacy’s career has had plenty of ups and downs. She candidly shares with me some of her biggest disappointments as well as the unique way she’s survived financial stresses when she’s not been able to get consistent acting work.
Stacy currently stars in the new feature film “Home Is Where The Killer Is” that was released in October on Netflix. She lives with her husband Bradford and is a dedicated mom to her daughter Sophia who is a rapidly emerging actress and model.
