Felissa Rose
Esposito grew up in New York wanting
to be an actress. In 1983 at the age of
thirteen she landed the role of
Angela, the murderer in the cult
horror film "Sleepaway Camp."
At seventeen she applied for early
admission to New York University
where she started class later that fall.
Throughout her studies she performed in
plays around Manhattan which put her hard
work to the test.
Felissa played
such roles as Denise Savage in "Savage in Limbo," Renee in
"Madam Butterfly," Willie in "This Property
is Condemned," and Desdemona in "Othello,"
plus many, many more too numerous to
mention.
Her first
professional stage show was a
musical review called "Youngstars"
with celebrities like Irene
Cara, Sarah Jessica Parker and
Scott Grimes.
Felissa
then performed in numerous
off-Broadway productions that
were directed by her ex-husband
that included the world premiere of
"Phone Sex."
Along with her stage performances,
Felissa still dabbled in film and TV
like Woody Allen's "Another Woman,"
"Pain and Suffering," "The Night We
Never Met" and MTV's
"The Party Phone
Series" opposite Adam Sandler.
Later Felissa
was asked to reprise her role
as Angela in "Sleepaway Camp II:
Unhappy Campers" and "Sleepaway
Camp III: Teenage Wasteland," but
turned them down. She had just
recently enrolled to attend the Tisch
School of the Arts at NYU. She asked if
she could put off her early
decision for acceptance for a year,
but was told she would have to re-apply and there was no guarantee
of her getting accepted again.
She returned to screen acting during
the millennium by starring in a
short independent
horror-thriller that was under
15 minutes long called "Birds of
a Feather" with cult actor
Christopher Cooke. Felissa then
went on to appear in two
Dante Tomaselli films
"Horror," and "Satan's Playground."
Felissa
has also reprised her role as
Angela in the newest installment to the
Sleepaway Camp franchise called
"Return to Sleepaway Camp,"
available now on DVD.
Felissa still continues to act
in film and TV
even after the birth of her
third child Thomas Carver with husband Deron Miller.
