Three years ago, Debra Cassano decided it was time to model, act, and sing full time.  Within a year, she had conquered runways, appeared in print, starred on a television show, and began her first CD.  From very humble beginnings, the Sicilian beauty came from nowhere and carved a place for herself in the entertainment world.  While living in Orlando, Debra signed with a few agencies and began to work immediately, appearing in ads for Zazzi’s, Harley Davidson, and Cocoa Beach Tourism Magazine.  After snagging a lead role in the television drama Tragedy at Sea and being offered representation by Wilhelmina in South Beach, Debra began to call Miami her home.  She has walked runway for designers including Von Vonni, Forever 21 and Arden, appeared in Mami magazine, Miami Living Magazine, Maxim Magazine, Bout Me Magazine, and Go Play Miami Magazine.  On the acting front, she has had supporting or leading roles in 13 television show and 6 films including Genius, the one that gained national attention November first, 2006.  While traveling back and forth and to New York, Debra has also appeared onstage in Othello and High School Musical.  Known for her never-ending energy and perseverance, she has balanced all that and managed a production deal with CS Productions and Strut International.  Debra continues to surprise as she continues her meteoric rise in entertainment, saying only that “many of life’s failures are from people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up!”
