Who is Spencer Grammer?
Spencer Grammer is an American actor named after her aunt, Karen Grammer, murdered in 1975. Her parents are Kelsey Grammer – a popular American Actor and Director – and Doreen Alderman who was a dance instructor. She was born on 9 October 1983 in Los Angeles, California USA. She has four siblings – Greer, Jude Gordon, Mason Oliva, and Faith Evangeline Elisa – all of white ethnic background.
Early life
Her parents decided to name her after her aunt who was raped and murdered in eight years before her birth, hence the name Spencer. She was raised with her siblings, and had her early education in Los Angeles. Her acting career started in her childhood when she played the role of a Little Girl in an episode of the TV series “Cheers” in 1992. She was reported to have developed a strong affinity for movies as a child and one of the films that affected her as a teenager was ‘Annie Hall.’ Following that, she dedicated her life to schooling to get the necessary education and excel in her academics.
Education
Although her initial thought was to study zoology to become a zoologist, she changed the plan when she was in middle school and developed an interest in acting. One of the schools she attended to hone her acting career was the Los Angeles County High School for Arts, and after being through three high schools, she completed her formal education at Marymount Manhattan College, from where she graduated with a degree in theater.
Family
Her parents separated two years after her birth eventually divorcing in 1990, which affected her psyche in no small way. As a result of her parent’s subsequent marriages, she has seven more half-siblings, six of three half-sisters and brothers from her father’s other marriages and one-half sister from her mothers, so in all, Spencer has eleven siblings including her four full siblings from her parents.
Career life
