Shiri Freda Appleby was born on December 7, 1978 in Los Angelas California. Shiri (pronounced Sheer-ee) joined by her younger brother Evan and her parents Jerry, a telecommunications executive and her mother, Dena, a school teacher then moved to San Fernando Valley just outside of Los Angelas where she grew up. By the age of four, her career in the entertainment business had already started, and she did her first commercial, for the cereal Raisin Bran (which never aired) Shiri comments that, "It was fun, especially when I was younger, "Looking good" because you would go to sets and there would be donuts and people would just want to play with you and do your hair, so you think it's a magical place when you're younger." She went on to do some more commercials, and among them were commercials for Cheerio's and M&M's and Taco Bell.
Shiri Appleby attended Calabasas High, located in Los Angeles' West San Fernando Valley, where she then realized that it was going to be the greatest time of her life and she didn't really want to go to auditions. |
