In Santa Monica, California, on April 11, 2000, Morgan Lily, the talented daughter of Andy Gross made her entrance into the world. Morgan, was a very intelligent, child, gracing show business starting at only three months old. Only a tiny baby, Morgan appeared on the cover of Talbot`s! Magazine. She also was in the prestigious baby magazines such as Disney Baby and Beechnut baby, and even lent her beautiful face to a cause-a PSA Mothers and Children Together Against Violence in 2000. By the age of four, she had been modeling and making appearances in Macy`s, Sara Lee, and Disney Magazines, and already appeared in fashion magazines internationally for Vogue, GQ, Harper`s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Elle & Amica. Morgan�s first acting job was for Hallmark Mother�s Day commercial, where her adorable face attracted the attention of people everywhere. After making commercials with Nabisco, Kellogg`s, and appearing again for Hallmark in their Christmas ad, Morgan starred in her first movie entitled Shards. The movie deals with the return of a Solider to his family after the war. Morgan and an assortment of characters helpes him through all the ordeals of family life after a time of tragedy and isolation. After her performance in Shards, Morgan was cast as Kylie in the made-for-TV 2006 film, Welcome to the Jungle Gym, where she co-starred with actress Jennifer Aspen (Party of Five, Rodney, The Closer.) The lighthearted comedy centered around a working mom who tries to maintain a friendship with her two best girlfriends while raising kids. Her brother was played by Maxwell Perry Cotton (Brothers & Sisters, Dennis the Menace Christmas). 2007 was a big year for Morgan- filming five nationwide commercials for big names like Jif Peanut Butter, Dodge dealerships, and Walmart, becoming a recognizable sight on the television. On May 17th, 2007, the little actress appeared on the intense drama, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Entitled The Living Doll. Morgan did all her own stunts for the show, which included falling from an elevated tree house. Her character Chloe is killed by her sister, whose father is a ventriloquist. This isn�t too far from real life as she and her actual father are both ventriloquists.
