Bellamy Young
Although she's most commonly known for playing First Lady Mellie Grant on the ABC political drama "Scandal" (2012- ), Bellamy Young has worked consistently as both a guest star and recurring character on dozens of TV shows beginning in the mid-1990s. A native of North Carolina, Young made her television debut in 1995 as Dr. Courtney Evans on the daytime soap opera "Another World" (NBC, 1964-1999), and, by the early 2000s, was guest starring on shows like "The X-Files" (Fox, 1993-2002), "The West Wing" (NBC, 1999-2006) and "Frasier" (NBC, 1993-2004). With "Scandal," however, Young's Mellie Grant rose to become one of TV's most talked-about characters on social-media sites such as Twitter and Tumblr, thus catapulting her into the spotlight after nearly two decades as a seemingly nameless, albeit prolific, TV actress.
