Claire Jude Demorest (born March 11, 1992) is an American actress, singer, and songwriter who is known for her roles in Dallas and Star.[1]

Early life

Demorest was born in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in a very religious family. She said in an interview “I grew up in church, seven days a week. The service was very music-driven, so the pastor created a performing-arts school down the street. There was drama, dance, and choir rehearsal—it was my training.” [2]

At the age of 16, Demorest moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. After trying everything from backup dancing to singing, she signed with Epic Records under producer L.A. Reid.

Career

Demorest started her career in minor parts, as extras and background dancers in multiple shows and films prior to getting a shot in the 2009 short History of Made Up Things. She had a recurring role on Dallas where her character was killed off. During the summer of 2016, writer, director, and executive producer Lee Daniels held a nationwide search for Fox’s girl-group series, Star (debuting December 14). “It was 10 auditions and Lee was part of every one,” Demorest said.[3][4][5]

Personal Life

Demorest married music producer Ammo in 2016. On September 4, 2018, Demorest announced via Instagram that she is pregnant and expecting in November 2018.[6]
