Acting runs in the blood for Ava Marie Telek. Her on-camera career began whilst still in the womb, as her mother, April Amber Telek, filmed guest spots through to the end of her seventh month of pregnancy.
At just seven years old, Ava Marie co-starred opposite Oscar-winner Ellen Burstyn and Kiernan Shipka in "Flowers in the Attic", quickly followed by standout roles in "Once Upon a Time", Steven Spielberg’s "The Whispers" , Netflix’s "Freaks", and the CW’s "Riverdale" as "Pearl." Ava reunited with Spielberg for Apple TV+’s "Amazing Stories", in Atlanta, Georgia showcasing her range in both dramatic and genre storytelling. She has now finished her first season as a series regular for upcoming TV show 'The Audacity' working alongside Jonathan Glatzer, Zach Galifinakis, and Billy Magnussen. She also recently guest starred in the number 1 TV series 'Tracker' on CBS.
