Juliette Angelo Bio

Juliette Angelo is an actress, singer, and songwriter. She began performing on Broadway at the age of 8 years old in the shows How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Tony Award-winning original cast of Billy Elliot, and Mary Poppins.

Juliette made the transition to television when she was an early teen. She is best known for her prominent roles as Emily Fornell on NCIS, Geneva on Shameless, and as Reba McEntire’s daughter June on ABC’s Malibu Country.

After leaving the entertainment industry at 21, Juliette moved to Nashville, then to Albuquerque, and now resides in Billings, Montana. Juliette is also a singer-songwriter and began performing live last year.

Despite a turbulent childhood and upbringing, Juliette has found peace in a simpler life and a sober existence. Still an avid lover of the arts, she anticipates a long career sharing her music (and acting again one day), but from a different perspective - and sharing different stories.

Juliette hopes to promote the message that your past does not dictate your future. “While certain wounds may never heal fully, you can still move forward and have a beautiful life. You deserve to.”

To listen to Juliette’s music, her first record, “Fields of Tennessee”, is available on streaming. It is a collection of raw takes with minimal production. To see Juliette live, you can find her currently performing shows around the Midwest. Upcoming events are listed on her Facebook Page (“Juliette Angelo”).
