Summer Glau was born on July 24th 1981, in San Antonio Texas where she was the
first of three daughters. Her father is a general contractor and her mother is a
schoolteacher. A rigourous ballet training schedule required that Summer be home
schooled by he mother from grades 3 to 12. Summer trained and performed
as a dancer throughout her teenage years until a serious injury forced her to
take time to heal. During this time, while visiting friends in Los Angeles she
booked her first acting job. Shortly after, she made the decision to move to LA
and began working steadily as an actor and dancer. Summer's first
television series role was a guest spot on Joss Whedon's ANGEL in the now
classic episode "Waiting in the Wings", in which she was able to demonstrate her
ballet training. Soon after, she was cast in Whedon's new series, Firefly,
playing the role of River. Since the end of Firefly, Summer has appeared on the
CBS series Cold Case, and the MGM feature Sleepover. She has currently been
working on Universal's feature film Firefly: Serenity".
