While Suzanne O'Donnell still works as an actress, she also does business as a personal concierge and professional organizer with an impressive track record working for Oscar and Emmy winners, directors, producers, and studio executives.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Suzanne found her calling in entertainment at a young age, starring in school productions, choir, glee club events, and various sketch comedies.
After high school, she moved to Chicago and trained with the Hubert Street Dance Company and Ted Liss Performing Arts, studying the classics alongside classmates Virginia Madison, Billy Campbell, Gail O'Grady, and Rusty Schwimmer.
Suzanne also trained with the highly regarded Don Depollo at Second City as a candidate to enter the comedy troupe. While at Second City, Suzanne took classes along with Oprah Winfrey, who was prepping for her role in "The Color Purple."
After moving to Los Angeles with her classmates, Suzanne booked some work, but she also screen tested against many members of the now-famous Brat Pack for a number of iconic roles.
For several years she created and produced a comedy showcase at the Tiffany Theatre that drew a full house for every show. Stepping further into her role as a producer, Suzanne went on to work at ICM, Disney, Touchstone, and Sony. When she wasn't working for a studio, she was reading scripts and giving notes to large production companies, writers and directors.
When Cher asked her to work as a personal assistant, Suzanne began a whole new chapter in her career. Her long list of assistant positions and clients includes Cher, Marcia Gay Harden, Chazz Palminteri, and Keenen Ivory Wayans and more.
She eventually founded her own business as a personal concierge and professional organizer, which she runs today. Suzanne mainly serves as an interior stylist, and her clients can't say enough good things about her quick wit, energy and exhausting work ethic.
