She attended the St. Jerome Parish in Cleveland, and Villa Angela Catholic School for girls, at the same time, and later she matriculated from Euclid High School. From an early age, Monica wanted to be an actress, so she became a member of the Cleveland Play House. When she was only 12 years old, she started working as a model, as she was photographed by a local modeling agency and appeared in several commercials. However, she began pursuing her acting career, and moved to Miami, where she was a part of a children’s show, bu in no time she moved on to Hollywood, and her career really began.

Quote
1 [on who deserves the 2013 Emmy for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series] I love Anna Gunn. She’s great. And we share the same manager, so I feel like there’s a sisterhood there.
2 “If something strikes me as really funny, very intriguing or really touching, then I just go and do it. It’s never about managing my career in a way that this would be a good move. I have enough people telling me what to do, so I think that when I read something, if I admire the writing and who’s directing it, I just go for it.” Interview, April 2001.
