Since childhood, Model Ashley Heather Remy was poised to become a star, but health issues and personal tragedy derailed her dreams early on. However, the young talented model, and former actress, is now ready to step out in the spotlight.
Early on, the native Long Islander knew she was destined to be an entertainer, and has dabbled in many fields. Ashley started taking various dance lessons from grade school until the age of 16. During that time, Ashley would find her nitch for acting and later on modeling. At the tender age of nine, Ashley was taking numerous TV commercials and TV shows. A few years later, she would get her big break landing the role of Stellan Skarsgård’s daughter in the independent film, Signs & Wonders (2002), where she lived in Europe for a year during filming. A couple of years later, Ashley started taking various modeling gigs.
Everything was going well until Ashley started suffering from severe and debilitating abdominal pains at the age of 14 that sidelined her budding career. After 10 years of agonizing tests, Ashley was diagnosed with the extremely rare superior mesenteric artery syndrome. At 24, Ashley went through an excruciating surgery that left her on feeding tubes but unfortunately never fixed the issue.
Soon after though, the strong headed blonde bombshell began her modeling career again with hopes of continuing where she left off a decade before. Then in 2015, Ashley was heartbroken and lost after the passing of mother, who was not only the driving force behind Ashley’s career but also her best friend. After months of sorrow, Ashley took her emotional and physical pain, and turned it into determination.
Now, Ashley has started modeling again appearing in a few magazines. She is hoping to take another shot at acting where she can eventually use her star power to raise awareness to superior mesenteric artery syndrome which she still suffers from to this day; with the hope of starting a charity to raise funds for research.
When not modeling, the multitalented Ashley operates a doggy daycare and dog sitting service. She is an avid dog lover, living with 3 dogs of her own in Long Beach, NY where she operates and also hopes to also expand her services.
