Whitney Morgan Cox, a talented individual, was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her journey in the performing arts began at the tender age of two with dance, a passion that continued until a career-ending injury forced her to stop at the age of 17.
After relocating to Hawaii for a few years, Whitney rediscovered her love for performing through acting while attending college in Southern Utah. It was during this time that she met her husband, Travis Lincoln Cox, and they tied the knot in June 2008.
In 2011, Whitney's outstanding acting skills earned her the National Irene Ryan Award, making her the top collegiate actor in the nation. Following this achievement, she and her husband moved to Utah, where she pursued a career in professional theater.
Eventually, they relocated to Los Angeles, where Whitney has been thriving in the film and television industry. Her impressive resume includes appearances in mainstream TV shows such as Criminal Minds and Animal Kingdom, as well as several indie films and passion projects.
Some of her notable works include the award-winning short film "Inch Thick, Knee Deep" and the feature film 'In the Wake of Ire'. Whitney's recent project saw her share the screen with renowned actress Judy Greer in the feature film "Aporia", directed by Jared Moshe.
Throughout her career, Whitney's performances have garnered numerous 'Best Actor' awards and nominations at film festivals worldwide.
In 2020, Whitney was diagnosed with breast cancer, which led to an arduous treatment process involving 8 months of chemotherapy, 30 rounds of radiation, and several surgeries. However, thanks to her resilience and determination, she is now cancer-free and continues to work in Los Angeles.
