Biography

Schuyler Grant (born Schuyler DeBarthe Ranson Grant on April 29, 1971) is an American actress best known for supporting roles in television.

Grant comes from a prominent pedigree of great actresses, including her aunt Katharine Houghton and her great-aunt Katharine Hepburn.

Grant is best known for her work in Anne of Green Gables. The film, a Canadian production, also starred Richard Farnsworth, Colleen Dewhurst, and Megan Follows in the starring role of Anne Shirley. Grant played Anne's "bosom friend" and closest companion, Diana Barry. Grant reprised her role in the sequel Anne of Avonlea (where Diana married Fred Wright and had a child) and the trilogy's finale Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story.

She also played the role of Camille Hawkins on All My Children. This character had a brief romance with another "All My Children" character, Tad Martin.

Her hobbies include teaching yoga at the Kula Yoga Project in the USA.
