Biography

Early life

Walter was born in rural Pennsylvania and raised in suburban Maryland near Washington, D.C., where she remembers "always liking to show off" as a child. Perhaps that was due to her father, who was a geophysicist at NASA and indulged his own unlikely love of performing after-hours in local community theater. Eventually, Walter studied drama at Catholic University of America where she graduated with a bachelor of arts degree and began appearing in various regional and dinner theater productions.
