Kellie Martin Net Worth $3 Million
Kellie Martin was raised with younger sister Doug Martin, who worked as a retail executive and department store buyer, and Debbie Martin, who was a kindergarten teacher. After high school, she became a student at Yale University, from which she graduated with a BA degree in Art History in 2001. However, Kellie had shown an interest in acting from the age of seven and in no time, thanks to her aunt, who was a housekeeper for actor Michael Landon’s children, her professional acting career began when she appeared in the TV series “Father Murphy” in 1982. After her debut, Kellie became focused on acting, and before the end of the 1980s, she appeared in several notable roles, including in the TV series “Valerie” (1987-1988), “A Pup Named Scooby-Doo” (1988-1991), and she was also selected for the role of Rebecca “Becca” Thatcher in the TV series “Life Goes On” (1989-1993). These few roles increased her net worth by a large margin, but also boosted her popularity.
In the 1990s, Kellie emerged as a young and talented actress, and it became easy for her to acquire new roles; in 1994 she was selected for the role of Christy in the TV series of the same name. In the second half of the 1990s, she appeared in several made-for-television films, including “Her Hidden Truth” (1995), “Hidden In Silence” (1996), “Her Last Chance” (1996), and “Breaking Through” (1996), among others, all of which have added a lot to her net worth. In 1998 she became a cast member of another popular TV series, “ER”, in the role of Lucy Knight, increasing further her net worth. Following university, Kellie continued successfully in the next decade, securing roles in films, such as “All You Need” (2001), “Fiona” (2002), and “Malibu`s Most Wanted” (2003). In 2003 she was selected for the role of Samantha Kinsey in Hallmark`s series of made-for-television films “Mystery Woman”, which had 11 sequels from 2003 until 2007, increasing further her net worth, after which Kellie returned to television with brief roles in the series “Grey`s Anatomy” (2009), and “Drop Dead Diva” (2010), before securing the role of Army Captain Nicole Galassin in “Army Wives” (2012).
To speak further of her accomplishments, Kellie has appeared in films such as “The Christmas Ornament” (2013), “So You Said Yes” (2015), and “Hello, It’s Me” (2015), among others. Kellie is also recognized as a voice actress, lending her voice to characters from such animated TV series and films such as “Taz-Mania” (1991-1995), “Aladdin” (1994), “A Goofy Movie” (1995), and “Thru the Moebius Strip” (2005).
Thanks to her skills, Kellie has received several prestigious nominations and awards, including the Primetime Emmy award nomination in the category Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work on TV series “Life Goes On”, and Young Artist Award in the category Best Young Actress Starring in a Television Series also for the TV series “Life Goes On”, among others. Apart from her successful career in the entertainment industry, Kellie is the owner of an online toy store named ROMPstore.com, which has increased her net worth by a large margin. Also, she has written a novel entitled “MADAM: A Novel Of New Orleans From Plume”, adding further to her overall net worth. When it comes to her personal life, Kellie Martin has been married to Keith Christian since 1999; the couple has two daughters.
