- Laur Allen is a multi-ethnic Los Angeles native who made her network TV debut as the recurring character "Juliet Helton" on CBS's "The Young and the Restless." She has worked alongside Lindsay Wagner, French Stewart, Amanda Righetti, Archie Kao, and Lisa Blake Richards in recent projects ranging from a romantic comedy to a farcical superhero quest to an action thriller.
Prior to acting, Laur worked behind the scenes in production and development, and then in the TV marketing department at a major studio. Laur had her first experience in the spotlight when she won the title of Miss Los Angeles Chinatown, becoming the first mixed-ethnicity Queen in the pageant's history. That year, she proudly served as the ambassador for the Southern California Chinese community, both locally and abroad. Following Miss Los Angeles Chinatown, Laur was invited to compete in Miss Chinese International in Hong Kong, where she made Top 7 and won Miss Friendship. These years representing her heritage helped inspire Laur to develop a career in front of the camera that would also allow her to be a voice for her community.
Laur grew up as a competitive figure skater, basketball player, and classical pianist. She graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Vanderbilt University and attended USC Gould School of Law while simultaneously working on "The Young and The Restless." She graduated law school in 2020 and was admitted as a member of the State Bar of California in 2021. With a strong passion for advocacy, Laur works to combine acting and law by creating an empowering platform through which she can have a positive humanitarian impact.- IMDb Mini Biography By: JTD
