Early life

Ward, born in Los Angeles, California, was the youngest of four siblings, and her parents were both professional actors and acting coaches. When Ward was four years old, the family moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. At the age of nine, she began doing commercials for local department stores. In her early teens, she went to Japan for modeling jobs and stayed for several years. Having previously learned to speak the language from her schooling in Hawaii, she landed a job hosting a Japanese television show, "Science Q," a science TV program broadcast in NHK from 1988 to February 1989.[citation needed]

Career

After graduating from Kaiser High School, Ward moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, and secured roles in science-fiction and comedy movies (including the 1994 Tom Stern/Alex Winter horror/comedy Freaked). In the mid-1990s, Ward had a recurring role on the show Party of Five. Following the death of her Party of Five character, Ward took the lead role in the Cold War UFO thriller Dark Skies. Since the cancellation of Dark Skies, Ward has kept busy appearing in mainly direct-to-video films such as Tick Tock and Mirror Man as well as TV series such as Summerland, Sports Night, Kevin Hill, and Boomtown, in which she had a substantial part. She debuted as Kate Howard on General Hospital on May 4, 2007. Ward was taken off contract in March 2009; however, she has remained on the series as a recurring character. Ward portrayed Michelle in the horror-thriller film The Invited under the direction of Ryan McKinney.[1]

Personal life

In 1995, Ward married Michael Shore, whom she met in acting class. They have two children. A son named Oliver born in 2001 and a daughter named Audrey born in 2006.[2]
