Dreama Walker

A talented actress with especially expressive eyes, Dreama Walker worked her way up from small roles on soap operas like "Guiding Light" (CBS, 1952-2009), dramedies like "Sex and the City" (HBO, 1998-2004) and procedurals like "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" (NBC, 2001-07; USA Network, 2007-11) before impressing as Clint Eastwood's granddaughter in "Gran Torino" (2008). She recurred as Hazel Williams, an insecure member of the alpha high school clique on "Gossip Girl" (The CW, 2007-13), booked a bit part as a receptionist in Ricky Gervais's "The Invention of Lying" (2009) and made many critics' lists for her recurring role on "The Good Wife" (CBS, 2009-16) as Becca, the devious girlfriend of Zach (Graham Phillips), son of Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies). Walker broke out as the overly naïve June, a small town girl who receives a big city education from roommate Krysten Ritter in "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" (ABC, 2012-13). Showcasing Walker's comedic chops as well as her ability to project immense vulnerability, the series earned high marks from many critics.
