Reason for Being at KMAS:

Nora wants to escape the Hollywood spotlight, and the tabloids, so she decided to move to the small town of Kensington, to get away from city life.

Biography/Personality:

She was a former child movie star and daytime Emmy winner for Young Star, but like so many others, she didn't make it to adult stardom.  Stupid people and things got in the way and bruised her ego.  The wrong activities, the wrong boyfriends, by the time she was 17, she was in rehab.  Now 21, she's out of the spotlight.  No one remembers her for the work she's done, only for the trouble she got into.

Other Noteworthy News/Facts:

Leaving Los Angeles, part of what fueled Nora's decision to come to Kensington was the KMAS.  Figure skating, although not one of her specialties, is one of her loves.
