The FMC Spotlight: Katy Sullivan

Katy Sullivan is no stranger to opening doors such as being the first with a disability to portray Richard III in a major U.S. production. Last year, the actress who was born without the lower half of her legs became the first female amputee to ever perform on Broadway when she originated the role of Ani in the Pulitzer Prize Winning play Cost Of Living. Her portrayal earned her a Tony nomination, which subsequently made her the first amputee to be recognized by the voting committee. Prior to this, she took on numerous television roles, the most recent of which was Esther in Dexter: New Blood. She has also compiled an impressive resume of stage credits, such as Lady Windermere’s Fan and The Long Red Road, started her own production company and represented The United States in the 2012 Paralympic Games.
