Biography

About Paula Labaredas

Edited by the community

Paula Maria Esteves Labaredas was born on June 6th, 1982, in her grandma's home in Coimbra, Portugal. She is the middle child of three girls. Brought up Catholic, her mother wanted all her girls to become nuns. At age two, her family migrated to America in search of the American Dream, but the journey nearly cost Paula her life. On the plane she began hyperventilating, fell unconscious, and stopped breathing. A doctor on board pronounced her dead, but moments later she revived. The family settled in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where her father worked as a construction worker and her mother as a seamstress in factories. Her father once built a wine cellar from scratch, and her mother often made clothes for Paula and her sisters. Paula attended inner city schools and, throughout grammar school, was a member of the chorus, which held yearly school productions.

Paula was very shy, growing up in a strict, disciplined household that made her feel locked up and suffocated. She used television and her imagination as an escape. At 16, she started working as a waitress, saved enough money, and attended college. There she overcame her shyness by discovering and falling in love with acting, and knew she wanted to perform for the rest of her life. Against her family's wishes, she moved to New York City to pursue her acting career. The first year was financially, emotionally, and physically difficult; she moved eight times, slept on friends' floors, and lived out of a suitcase. Yet she continued, booking jobs in soap operas, independent films, web series, and off-Broadway plays, which eventually led her to Los Angeles.

Paula's passion, tenacity, and persistence keep her on the road to continued success. She wants to excel in her work and be one of the best in the film industry. She is Portuguese, with blonde hair and hazel eyes, standing 5'8" and maintaining a slim physique. Her pure heart shows in her poems, paintings, and charity work. She has also produced numerous shorts and web series and co-produced two features through her production company, Lucky Tiger Films. A vegetarian for over ten years, she is spiritual, loves to work out, loves to dance, and loves spending free time with her family.
