Biography
Early life
Azura Skye was born in her grandmother's home in Northridge, California. Her parents being amateur gemologists, she was named after azurite, a semi-precious mineral. She started her career as a stage actress at the age of three and toured Europe with the Santa Monica Playhouse theatre group at the age of eleven. She received her education at the Brentwood School.[1][2]
Movie and TV Career
Skye made her first TV appearance on the show
Total Security in 1997. Then she played a couple of smaller parts on
Touched by an Angel and
Chicago Hope, and made appearances in a number of
television movies before she was cast for the role as "Jane" in
Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane in 1999.
Zoe..., as the showed was renamed for the second season, was a shortlived (two seasons)
sit com about four teenagers - Skye's character being one of them. In 2000, the same year that

28 Days she starred alongside
Sandra Bullock and
