Amy Jo Johnson grew up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. As a child she
competed as a gymnast, learning skills that would later be of great
use to her in her breakthrough role as the Pink Ranger. She gave up
competing when she was 17, and concentrated more on her acting
interests, appearing in various community theatre projects. Once
she graduated from high school she went to New York to study at the
American Musical Dramatic Academy. After two years there she moved
to California where she landed the aforementioned part as the Pink
Ranger. After her stint there she went back to the theatre, as well
as doing several television movies. Amy's own talents as a musician
have come into play in her role as Julie on _Felicity_. When not
working on the show Amy appears with her band Valhalla, where she
is the lead singer, as well as a guitarist. Amy also paints,
primarily with oil and acrylics, and is devoted to Lucy, her pit
bull.
