Annette O'Toole grew up in the Houston dance studio, which was managed by her mum. She made her television debut at the age of two, as a kid on the Don Mahoney Kiddie Trooper Show. She was 13 when, and had ten years worth of singing and dancing training in her past, she and her mother went back to L.A. for a year to see if she could make it in the show business. The first show she worked on as a professional performer in only two months on Danny Kaye's show The Danny Kaye Show. "I've used my singing and dancing training in so many ways," she says. The discipline that you gain from these classes is invaluable for actors." Her first role as an actor was in My Three Sons, followed by appearances in Gunsmoke, The Partridge Family, The Mod Squad, as well as Hawaii Five-O. O'Toole has appeared in more than 40 shows on television. Although she is famous both in television and film, O'Toole's passion is theater. When her six-year run on Smallville was over, she made the decision to focus on theater, which is what she's done for the past decade. When she moved to New York, she had her first appearance with The Sea Gull. She's appeared in a variety of off-Broadway plays, such as Adam Rapp's Kindness, Tracy Letts' Man from Nebraska, and Tennessee Williams' A Lovely Sunday For Creve Couer.
