BOSTON, MA, November 06, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nicole Elizabeth Berger has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Ms. Berger is a professional actress, singer, classical pianist, and model, who has spent over a decade pursuing her career in the performing arts and entertainment industry. Having grown up in a musical household, she developed a deep passion for music and the arts; Ms. Berger began modeling at age 5 for brands, including Saks Fifth Avenue, 7 For All Mankind, Swarovski, and Toys-R-Us. Soon thereafter, she landed her first lead role in Jon Abraham's drama All at Once playing a young piano prodigy in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy.
After the success of her first major film, Ms. Berger has appeared in approximately a dozen films in leading and supporting roles, including The Place of No Words in 2018, Clover in 2020, and Black Spines in 2023. Ms. Berger also had the honor of co-starring in the indie-thriller Runt in 2019 with the late Cameron Boyce; Runt was Cameron's final film before passing away from complications of epilepsy. She has also had lead roles in two short films, Ali's Realm in 2020 and Five Teenagers Walk into A Bar in 2019.
Ms. Berger attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts, New York, NY as a drama major and graduated from Concord Academy, Concord, MA. She completed the Summer Drama Conservatory for Actors at Yale University and is a first-year student at Harvard University, working toward a BA degree with a concentration in Theater, Dance & Media. She attended acting intensives at the Margie Haber Studio, Hollywood, CA. Recently, she was chosen to become a member of the Harvard Callbacks, Harvard's premier all-gender a cappella group since 1986; the group performs on campus as well as on tour in the US and abroad. While at Harvard, Ms. Berger is continuing to pursue her professional pursuits in the performing arts, balancing her academic work with acting and singing.
For several years, Ms. Berger has been working with The Cameron Boyce Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established by Cameron's family after his untimely death, to cure epilepsy and bring greater awareness of the possibility of sudden death from epilepsy.
Ms. Berger is a member of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. In light of her professional accomplishments, Ms. Berger received a Best Shorts Award of Excellence for Lead Actress for the independent film Ali's Realm in 2020 and a Young Artist Academy Award for Best Teen Actress Performance in a Streaming Film for the crime drama Clover in 2021. Earlier this year, Ms. Berger was recognized for her breakout performance in Ali's Realm by the First-Glance Film Festival in Philadelphia, which awarded the film the Mela Hudson Award of Excellence. This award recognizes a film with a strong female lead who deals with mental-health concerns; her character of Ali Newton not only faces the tragic death of her best friend but confronts mental-health challenges and struggles with the lack of understanding from those around her.
She attributes her success to her family and mentors for their ongoing support. Ms. Berger is grateful for the opportunity to explore various cultures, places, and languages, which she believes has broadened her perspective and given her a better vantage point from which to tell the stories of her characters.
